Mercedes-Benz Trucks is prominently featured at this year's Road Transport Expo, marking the UK debut of its inaugural long-haul electric truck.
The eActros 600 tractor unit is meticulously engineered for long-distance logistics, boasting a battery capacity that enables a range of 500 km on a single charge. With the capability to recharge during mandatory driver breaks, this truck has the potential to cover up to 1,000 km within a single day. Additionally, the Megawatt Charging System allows the batteries to be replenished from 20% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes.
The remarkable range of this new vehicle is attributed to its substantial battery capacity exceeding 600 kilowatt hours, which is reflected in its '600' model designation. This efficiency is further enhanced by an advanced driveline, featuring the innovative eAxle that integrates the truck's two electric motors and a four-speed transmission.
The displayed model is a fully functional right-hand drive prototype, making its debut in the UK, and showcases the newly designed, aerodynamically optimized ProCabin. Orders for the eActros 600, set to commence series production later this year, began in November 2023.
Equally significant for operators transitioning to electric transport is the extensive array of support services provided by the dedicated Mercedes-Benz Trucks eConsultancy team. This comprehensive suite includes expert guidance on selecting the appropriate truck for various applications, as well as consulting services covering the planning, construction, and configuration of depot charging infrastructure, Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) optimization, identification of public subsidies, model-specific driver training, and a variety of financial services. Furthermore, trained eConsultancy services are available through the national Dealer Network.
For those interested in the advanced features of the eActros 600, it is powered by three battery packs, each with a capacity of 207 kWh, utilizing lithium iron phosphate technology.
