Mercedes-Benz eActros Lowliner
As explained by the German truck maker, a Lowliner truck is a tractor unit with a particularly low coupling height, enabling the transport of trailers with increased interior volume. “These transports, commonly referred to as volume transports, are designed for goods where space requirements are a key factor – especially tightly packed cargo such as boxed goods”, stated Daimler Truck.
Indeed, the Lowliner is based on the overall technological concept of the eActros 600. “The eActros Lowliner marks the next step in the expansion of our battery‑electric long‑haul portfolio. It is consistently designed for high‑volume transport with mega trailers and is based on the proven technology of the eActros 600. This significantly broadens the range of applications available to our customers once again”, commented Achim Puchert, CEO Mercedes‑Benz Trucks.
