Check overall ratio of vehicle



 The rear axle ratios shown in the following tables amount to the consumption-optimized engine speeds at 85 kph in 16th gear.

 For heavy-duty use, the next higher rear axle ratio is to be provided in each case.

 In general chassis with low frame height are equipped with the transmission version as per code GC2.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 On vehicles with a lower frame height and 315/60 R22.5; 285/60 R22.5 tires the following rear axle ratios are recommended:

Engine output (BHP/KW) rear axle ratio (Code)

313/230 i = 4,143 AP6

354/260 i = 3,977 AP5

428/315 i = 3,977 AP5

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 The following standard production tires are stipulated via the permissible gross vehicle weight:

- 295/80 R22.5 on 18 t steel/air spring vehicles (4x2)

- 315/60 R22.5 on 18 t/25 t air spring vehicles (4x2/6x2)

- 315/70 R22.5 on 25 t air spring vehicles (6x2)

 All drive axles in models 950, 952, 953, 954 are fitted with a differential lock as standard.

 Ex works depending on the engine output and transmission design, the consumption optimized rear axle ratio is only controlled with reference to standard tires. In conjunction with all other tire sizes the corresponding rear axle ratio is to be specified in the order by the external sales organization. For extreme loads, e.g. for vehicle use at high altitudes, provided with essentially higher load train gross vehicle weights than standard etc., please agree the design of the drive train with the technical advisor responsible.

Recommended rear axle ratios for normal long distance use taking into account engine output, transmission design and tire size.
