Mercedes-Benz Trucks will unveil the expanded portfolio of the second-generation battery-electric eActros for the first time on September 30. The German manufacturer will organize an international event. Sustainable Truck&Van will be part of it, providing real time updates about the initiative.

According to Daimler Truck, based on the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600, the offering will be modularly extended to include a wide range of new variants — including tractor units and flatbed chassis with different wheelbases, models with two battery packs, and alternative L-cab versions based on the proven Actros design. All new configurations combine modern drive technology with high energy efficiency and follow the innovative overall concept of the eActros 600.

Mercedes eActros 600 now in full swing in Wörth

Mercedes-Benz Trucks celebrated the series launch of the eActros 600 at the end of November last year at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth. Deliveries to customers began in December 2024 and the eActros 600 is now in daily operation on roads across more than 15 European countries.

The eActros 600 has three battery packs, each with 207 kWh. These offer an installed total capacity of 621 kWh. The batteries are based on lithium iron phosphate cell technology (LFP) and are characterized by a long service life. The development engineers at Mercedes-Benz Trucks designed the eActros 600 to meet the same requirements for the durability of vehicles and components as a comparable conventional heavy-duty long-haul Actros.
