Mercedes Atego (I) 1526 256hp (188kW) 970Nm — premium diesel engine of the commercial segment of the Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart, EQ) group (Германия, 1926). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 256 to 295 hp (+39 hp, +15%) and torque from 970 to 1115 Nm (+145 Nm).
AMG is the performance division of Mercedes (since 1967), building engines on the 'one man, one engine' principle in Affalterbach. Mercedes is one of the most protected brands in the chip tuning industry in terms of encryption. Maybach is Mercedes's ultra-luxury sub-brand. Mid-generation diesel models use standard OBD read/write. Mercedes diesels are known for smooth, quiet running, a hallmark of the premium segment. Mercedes diesels have long been known for legendary reliability, with German taxi fleets running to million-kilometre mileages.
The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. Stage 1 on Mercedes often requires refreshing the adaptations after the flash. The Mercedes premium segment is a high-output platform with Stage 2 potential. High-output Mercedes engines are premium-class with solid headroom for Stage 1. On modern high-output Mercedes, Bench reading is often required because of the encryption.
