Three Mercedes-Benz eActros electric trucks have left the Mercedes-Benz Wörth plant and will be on sales tour through five European countries in the following five weeks: Germany, Austria, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium.

More into details, the route of the three electric trucks for distribution haulage will initially run from the Mercedes-Benz Wörth plant via Austria to Italy. After a subsequent loop through Germany, the eActros will continue on to the Netherlands and Belgium. Several stopovers will be made on the route in order to present the vehicles and services to customers in detail. E-mobility experts from Mercedes-Benz Trucks who will be on the road with the eActros will discuss market-specific issues relating to e-mobility directly with fleet operators and will provide customers with comprehensive consulting.

Mercedes eActros, an option for electrifying fleets

“More and more fleet operators are preparing to electrify their fleets. With the eActros roadshow, we will be actively reaching out to customers and letting them experience the eActros first hand. At the same time, we will be providing comprehensive consulting on the switch to e-mobility. We are very much looking forward to this CO2-neutral tour across Europe”, stated Stina Fagerman, Head of Marketing, Sales and Services at Mercedes-Benz Trucks.

Two eActros 300 (4×2) and one eActros 400 (6×2) will be used for the roadshow. The battery-electric Mercedes-Benz eActros for heavy-duty distribution haulage has been rolling off the production line at the Wörth plant since 2021. This year, the Wörth plant itself celebrates its 60th anniversary.
