Wörth, 14 additional Mercedes eActros 600 electric trucks to be employed in plant logistics
Daimler Truck aims to demonstrate that the eActros 600 can also cover longer transport distances with battery-electric power. Indeed, the routes range between 150 km and 600 km, sometimes even cross-border from and to Italy, the Czech Republic and Luxembourg.
As part of the “Electrify Inbound Logistics” project, which aims to fully electrify the supply logistics of the Wörth am Rhein, Gaggenau, Kassel und Mannheim plants in the coming years, 14 logistics partners are now relying on the battery-electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 to supply the production sites with parts and components from Germany and Europe. On July 14, the fleet of 14 eActros 600 vehicles was ceremonially launched into its first operational deployment at the Wörth site as part of symbolic star convoy.
So far, an eActros 600 test vehicle has been on the road regularly between the Mercedes-Benz plants in Kassel and Wörth since September 2024. Daimler Truck aims to demonstrate that the eActros 600 can also cover longer transport distances with battery-electric power. The routes range between 150 km and 600 km, sometimes even cross-border from and to Italy, the Czech Republic and Luxembourg. Where necessary, the vehicles also partially use public charging infrastructure along the route in addition to depot charging at the Daimler Truck locations and the haulage companies’ depots.
