The Mercedes-Benz Axor is a heavy truck manufactured by Daimler Truck from 2001 to now, designed to fill the gap between the premium Actros tractors and the mostly rigid Atego trucks and was targeted at fleet customers. The model was succeeded by the Mercedes-Benz Antos and Mercedes-Benz Arocs in 2013 but it remained until now.
The truck has a relatively simple manual gear-shift, or alternatively, the Electronic Power Shift (EPS), is available, as well as a fully automatic box. The truck is powered by a 12-litre straight 6 engine (OM457LA), or 6.4-litre straight 6 engine (OM906)
Originally the Axor was only available as a tractor but with the 2005 facelift, former Atego models over 18t were made part of the Axor Range.
In 2013, Mitsubishi Fuso announced that the Indian-built, BharatBenz version of the Axor would be sold as the Fuso FJ, FO, and FZ series in some African and Asian markets. The FJ is the six-wheeled, 25-ton version, the eight-wheeled FO is rated for 31 tons, and the FZ is the tractor version, available with two or three axles. The Fuso FJ series uses the Mercedes-Benz OM906 engine, albeit under the name Mitsubishi 6S20.
