The 2025 edition of bauma, the leading exhibition focused on construction and mining machines and equipment, started today, April 7, in Munich. There, Mercedes-Benz Trucks launched the brand-new eArocs 400, the first battery-electric variant of the tried-and-tested workhorse from Mercedes-Benz Trucks.

A small series of 150 vehicles per year is currently planned for selected markets in Europe. The vehicle will initially be available as a 32- and 41-ton variant in the 8×4 axle configuration with four different wheelbases and can be built as a concrete mixer or construction tipper. The Start of Sales is scheduled for the 1st quarter of 2026, the first delivery in the 3rd quarter of 2026.

Mercedes eArocs 400: range from 200 to 240 km according to the use

For the new eArocs 400, Mercedes-Benz Trucks is adopting essential components from the eActros 600. In addition to the front box and the power take-off (PTO), this also includes the batteries based on lithium iron phosphate cell technology (LFP). These batteries feature in particular a high durability and a particularly high usable battery capacity. The eArocs 400 has an on-board electrical system voltage of 800 volts and two battery packs with an installed battery capacity of 414 kWh located in the battery tower directly behind the driver’s cab. The range as a concrete mixer is up to 200 km. With the construction tipper variant, the range increases to up to 240 km. The eArocs 400 is fitted with a powerful central engine with a 3-speed transmission and a continuous power of 380 kW and a peak performance of 450 kW.

“With the new eArocs 400, we are now also bringing electrification to the construction industry, which is particularly important for our economy and society. Following the distribution and long-haul transport, we are continuing to expand our product range of battery-electric trucks. Now, it is crucial that policymakers promote the development of the charging infrastructure and create the necessary framework conditions for the economic operation of these vehicles”, commented Achim Puchert, CEO Mercedes-Benz Trucks.

“The eArocs 400 drives locally CO2 -free and is at the same time as powerful and robust as our customers are used to from the conventionally powered Arocs. Its range is designed to cover essential applications for street-oriented construction haulage. Thanks to its battery drive, it is therefore particularly suitable for use in restricted or noise-sensitive environments such as inner cities or residential areas”, added Stina Fagerman, Head of Marketing, Sales and Services at Mercedes-Benz Trucks.
