Austria, Brantner to purchase 13 Mercedes eActros trucks
Since the beginning of 2026, Brantner has fully integrated the eActros 300 and eActros 600 – some of which were delivered last year – into daily collection and disposal logistics operations. In terms of charging infrastructure, the e‑trucks Brantner is using are fully charged in the company's own charging park within a maximum of seven hours, ready for service at the start of the workday.
Daimler Truck Austria has handed over 13 all‑electric Mercedes‑Benz eActros to Austrian waste management and circular economy company Brantner green solutions. The new Mercedes‑Benz Trucks electric fleet comprises three eActros 600 and ten first‑generation eActros 300, replacing heavy diesel-powered vehicles.
Since the beginning of 2026, Brantner has fully integrated the eActros 300 and eActros 600 – some of which were delivered last year – into daily collection and disposal logistics operations. “Brantner green solutions operates internationally in the circular economy and focuses on sustainable recycling solutions. Our mission is to view waste as a valuable resource and to return as many materials as possible to the cycle”, said Manfred Vogl, Managing Director of Brantner green solutions.
Brantner to rely on Mercedes eActros electric trucks
“The rollout of the eActros 600 is progressing very successfully. Last year, we took the lead in Europe in battery-electric heavy‑duty vehicles. Working with Brantner is an outstanding project initiated about two years ago. I vividly recall discussions with Brantner’s management at the penultimate IFAT trade fair in Munich. It is gratifying to see that 13 vehicles are already in operation – and getting direct positive feedback from the drivers is a strong signal”, added Joachim Schild, Key Account Manager, Daimler Truck.
In terms of charging infrastructure, the e‑trucks Brantner is using are fully charged in the company’s own charging park within a maximum of seven hours, ready for service at the start of the workday. Route tracking data also forms the basis for an efficient transition, enabling Brantner to identify routes where electric drives can be used most effectively.
