Mercedes-Benz Ateco – the medium-weight distribution range from the 815 to the 1828, four- and six-cylinder engines of 4.2 to 6.4 litres, 95 to 210 kW, gross weights of 7.49 to 19 t

This page gathers the medium-weight Mercedes-Benz trucks kept in the register as Ateco, introduced in 1998 as the successor to the earlier 709 to 1417 range and built at the Wörth am Rhein plant. At launch the programme already comprised around 25 basic types across six power ratings and four cab variants; type designations such as 815, 1222, 1224, 1529 or 1828 follow the logic usual for European trucks of weight class and engine power – the first one or two digits give the tonne class approximately, the following digits the output in hp. The range thus covered the whole field from the light 7.5-tonner to the nearly 18-tonne distribution truck and was named International Truck of the Year in 1999.

The register lists here 16 versions with 95 to 210 kW from four- and six-cylinders of 4,249 to 6,374 cm³, unladen weights from 4,400 to 11,750 kg, gross weights from 7,490 to 19,000 kg, lengths from 6,950 to 9,100 mm and widths from 2,400 to 2,600 mm.

For a decade and a half the range was the backbone of urban distribution traffic, for beverage, furniture and refrigerated haulage as well as fire-service and municipal bodies, competing directly with the MAN L2000/M2000, Iveco Eurocargo and DAF LF.

On used examples, mileage and the service history of the engine, rust on the chassis frame and cab floor, the condition of the clutch and gearbox and, on the younger model years, the exhaust aftertreatment count; spare parts and service run through the dense Mercedes-Benz Trucks network.
