Three Mercedes-Benz eActros successfully completed its roadshow throughout Europe by coming back to the Wörth plant after more than 5,000 in Germany, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium. Mercedes-Benz Trucks Sales organized a total of 14 customer events with over 1,000 guests and 1,250 test drives. Throughout the entire tour, the batteries of the eActros were largely charged at public charging stations. Two eActros 300 (4×2) and one eActros 400 (6×2) were used for the roadshow. Below, the highlight video of the European roadshow.

Stina Fagerman, Head of Marketing, Sales and Services at Mercedes-Benz Trucks, said: “The eActros roadshow was an across-the-board success. The direct exchange with customers was extremely valuable for us. Our customers were able to test the e-trucks extensively and easily in their respective markets and received comprehensive consulting services from our e-experts. At the same time, our eActros mastered the entire tour confidently and calmly despite the demanding topography.”
