A permissible gross weight of almost 17 tons it's at Atego fire fighting vehicles on the torque. The ordered deletion cars of type Atego 1323, 4 x 4 have a 231 PS strong 5.1 liter four-cylinder with 900 nm of torque. He drives all four wheels through an automated eight-speed transmission. A two-stage decompression engine brake in conjunction with mechanical brake provides for the delay. The Euro 6 standard is held similar to as many cars in a cooled exhaust-gas recirculation, a particulate filter and a SCR-system with the additive AdBlue. Burn off the soot particles collected in the filter happens most easily according to Mercedes for fire-fighting vehicles, because they are usually at full speed and reach the temperature necessary for burning off as soon. This is not the case, once the driver can even start the burn process.
