Mercedes-Benz eActros 600: Long-Distance Electric Truck
- The electric truck Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 showcased its long-distance capabilities by traveling over 1,000 km through the Alps with one charging stop. Loaded with a 40-ton cargo, it journeyed 530 km from Stuttgart, Germany to Bolzano, Italy, recharging before returning. The success is attributed to efficient propulsion, high-performance energy recovery systems, and a large battery capacity. The eActros 600 features three lithium iron phosphate battery packs, two electric motors totaling 400 KW, and can recharge up to 80% in under 30 minutes. The truck is set for an official unveiling on October 10th, with production planned for 2024.
