Startrucks Korea, the official importer of Mercedes-Benz Trucks, unveiled the new 25.5-ton dump truck 'New Arocs 4153K Single Reduction Dump' tailored for Korea's high-load operating environment at the Star Center in Asan, South Chungcheong Province, on the 10th.

According to the company, this new model is the result of a three-year local research and development project conducted by the German headquarters after systematically analyzing Korea's driving conditions. The New Arocs 4153K Single Reduction Dump has been optimized primarily for domestic aggregate and construction site characteristics. The powertrain is equipped with a 3rd-generation OM471 inline 6-cylinder engine (total displacement 12,809cc) that delivers a maximum output of 530 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265kgf·m. It combines an X-Pulse high-pressure common rail injection system that reduces fuel injection volume and enhances durability with the Mercedes-Benz Power Shift 3 (MPS3) automatic 12-speed transmission based on PowerShift AdvAance, which minimizes power loss during gear shifts.

The underbody structure reflects a 41-ton-class heavy-duty design to withstand high-load operation shocks, reinforced frame rigidity, and adopts a single-reduction axle structure focused on fuel efficiency to prevent body twisting. The upper dumping system applies a 149mm inner diameter high-strength lightweight cylinder from HYVA and a reinforced cradle structure. As safety and convenience features, an advanced safety package based on 270-degree sensor fusion technology has been introduced. Active Brake Assist 6 (ABA 6), Active Sideguard Assist 2 (ASGA 2), Frontguard Assist (FGA), Distance Control Assist (AHA), and mirror cameras are integrated to perform automatic braking when detecting pedestrians in blind spots or when collision risks arise.

Inside, the driving environment has been improved with the 2nd-generation multimedia cockpit interactive system, premium leather seats with ventilation, and navigation. In addition, digital solutions and service programs were combined to reduce the total cost of ownership (TCO) burden for customers. Through the real-time connectivity service Fleetboard, reports providing precise analysis of idling time, average fuel efficiency, and driving patterns are delivered, enabling fuel efficiency improvements of up to 15%. In the service sector, a dedicated program called 'StarCare 5+ Tipper' was introduced to comprehensively manage regular inspections, engine oil and filter replacements, and HYVA filter replacements.

CEO Dong Geun-tae stated, "Our goal with the New Arocs 4153K Single Reduction Dump is not only to instantly improve Startrucks' previously undervalued image but also to become a dump truck that genuinely helps customers' lives."
