eActros LongHaul On Road Trials Later This Year

FOLLOWING the market launch of the eActros for heavy-duty distribution transport in 2021, Mercedes-Benz Trucks is pressing ahead with the introduction of additional battery-electric models for this and coming years.
For the long-haul segment the eActros LongHaul, with a range of around 500 kilometres on one battery charge, is scheduled to be ready for series production in 2024. The first prototypes of the 40 tonne truck are already undergoing internal tests and Mercedes-Benz engineers are planning to start trials of the e-truck on public roads this year. The eActros LongHaul will enable high-performance charging; so-called “megawatt charging”.
Mercedes-Benz Trucks is also preparing additional variants of the eActros, specifically the eActros 300 and 400 and, as early as July 2024, the eEconic for municipal use is scheduled to roll off the production line.
