Launched at the last edition of bauma, in Munich, the new Mercedes eArocs electric truck model will be available in April. The new truck is equipped with two LFP battery packs, each offering 207 kWh of installed capacity and housed in a battery tower behind the cab. Indeed, the eArocs 400 “demonstrates the strong potential of battery-electric vehicle solutions in the construction industry”, according to the truck maker. The declared range is close to 240 km.

Designed specifically for urban and near-road construction work, it enables full‑day operation without intermediate charging. From the third quarter of 2026, the base vehicle will be produced at the Mercedes‑Benz plant in Wörth am Rhein, followed by integration of the electric drivetrain by Paul Group, headquartered in Vilshofen an der Donau.

The vehicle combines the robustness required with an efficient electric drive system, covering key use cases in near‑road construction. This supports our customers in sustainably advancing and future‑proofing their fleets”, commented Stina Fagerman, Head of Marketing, Sales and Services at Mercedes‑Benz Trucks.
