Vehicles Using the OM502 Engine
The OM502 15.9 L V8 was fitted across Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks, premium coaches and industrial applications. The list below states the engine applications; VADEN fitment is compatibility-based and must be verified by OEM or chassis number for each vehicle.
First-generation heavy truck, 1996-2002/03, which introduced the OM501 V6 and OM502 V8; the top-power tractors used the OM502 V8, offered from the 1996 launch.
Actros compatibility hub →Second- and third-generation heavy trucks, 2003-2011, offering the OM502 V8 in the highest 510-598 hp ratings (612 hp Black Edition) for demanding long-haul work.
Actros compatibility hub →Flagship heavy-haulage tractor for oversized and abnormal loads at very high gross combination weights, powered by the top OM502 LA V8 variants.
Actros compatibility hub →Premium touring and long-distance coach; the top version was offered with the OM502 LA V8 rated at 350 kW (476 hp), alongside inline-six options.
Premium high-decker touring coaches (EvoBus) that shared major driveline components with the Travego and offered the OM502 V8 as the top engine option before the range moved to the inline-six. (Medium confidence on exact model coverage.)
The OM502 LA was also sold as a stationary (genset) and mobile-machinery engine in ratings up to ~480 kW; the upper end of the published power band reflects these off-highway ratings rather than truck use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do VADEN parts fit OM502-powered vehicles?
Yes. VADEN supplies clutch, cooling-system, transmission, engine and fuel-system parts compatible with OM502 V8-powered vehicles such as the Actros (MP1/MP2/MP3), the Actros SLT and the Travego. Compatibility is application-based; each reference is listed against the OEM numbers it is compatible with, and fitment should always be verified by OEM number before ordering.
Is knowing the OEM number enough to order the right part?
The OEM number is the primary way to select the correct part. VADEN catalogues every reference against the OEM numbers it is compatible with, so matching your vehicle's OEM or chassis reference to the listing is the reliable method to confirm fitment before ordering.
Which vehicles use the OM502?
The OM502 15.9 L V8 was used from the first-generation Actros (MP1, 1996) through the Actros MP2/MP3 heavy trucks (510-598 hp, 612 hp Black Edition), the Actros SLT heavy-haulage tractor and the Travego coach (476 hp). It was also offered in the Setra TopClass 400 series and in industrial applications.
Which VADEN part groups are available for the OM502?
The VADEN catalogue lists 55 compatible references for the OM502 application across five groups: clutch (17), cooling system (16), transmission (9), engine (6) and fuel system (5). The widest coverage is in the clutch and cooling groups, and every group is listed against its compatible OEM numbers.
Is the OM502 the same engine as the OM501?
No. Both belong to the OM 500 series, but the OM502 is the V8 while the OM501 is the V6. In its 15.9 L V8 configuration the OM502 powers the highest-output Actros and heavy-haulage applications. Parts should be selected by the vehicle's OEM number rather than by engine code alone.
Where can I order OM502-compatible VADEN parts?
Use the OEM-number search or the cross-reference table on this page to identify the matching VADEN references, then order through your VADEN distributor or contact VADEN directly. Confirm fitment by OEM number before placing the order.
