Sprinter 906
Axle Ratio 1 : 4.364
Details & Technology
Each vehicle is specified with an appropriate final-drive ratio, which varies according to
model/engine version. The standard final-drive ratio is matched to the particular model
version, taking the factors of economy, exhaust emissions, torque and maximum speed
into account. However, depending on the actual operating profile, another ratio may be
more appropriate.
Benefits & Arguments
Matching of tractive force and top speed to the corresponding application
•
Optimization of fuel consumption based on configuration of the drive train, vehicle
•
application and operating rate as well as the topography of the transport routes
A lower final-drive ratio provides more torque at the wheels and is recommended e.g. for
frequent hill-climbing or if the vehicle will be regularly used with a trailer. Although a higher
final-drive ratio provides less torque, it offers a higher top speed and can be recommended,
for example, for constant-speed motorway driving in flat terrain.
Remarks
Available on 4 Cylinder 3500 Vehicles only. Must have 4CE package.
