Mercedes Axor (I (2005+)) 1828 279hp (205kW) 1100Nm — 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 279 to 320 hp (+41 hp, +15%) and torque from 1100 to 1265 Nm (+165 Nm). The 2005 generation — first-generation CDI/TDI/HDi diesels with relatively simple ECU protection; OBD reading works directly.

The Mercedes-Benz Group AG (Daimler AG until 2022) comprises Mercedes-Benz, AMG, Maybach, Smart and the EQ line. 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. DPF/SCR with AdBlue is standard on all Euro-6 Mercedes diesels. On older Mercedes diesels, Stage 1 is flashed over OBD with no complications. Mercedes diesels are known for smooth, quiet running, a hallmark of the premium segment.

The Mercedes community in Europe has a large pool of available Stage files for the standard models. In the Mercedes commercial segment, Stage 1 focuses on torque. The AMG community is active in Germany, but the protection is the toughest in the industry, so Stage 1 on AMG usually requires Bench. On modern high-output Mercedes, Bench reading is often required because of the encryption. 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.
