Just 19.44 liters with a 25-tonne payload: Actros is consumption record holder

A 40-tonne tractor-semitrailer combination with an Actros semitrailer tractor featuring BlueTec 5 technology completes a seven-day fuel consumption test run on the circuit in Nardò, southern Italy. Over the test run of 12,728 km and with with a 25-tonne payload at an average speed of 80 km/h, the Actros consumes a mere 19.44 litres of diesel fuel per 100 km, or less than 0.8 litres per 100-tonne-kilometres (tkm). This record gives the Actros the title of "Most fuel-efficient 40 ton truck" and an entry in the official "Guinness World Records" listing.
