Mercedes-Benz Trucks Launches eActros 300 with 220 km Range, Aids Logistics Shift to Electric
Mercedes-Benz Trucks has successfully introduced the eActros 300, an electric truck with a range of up to 220 km on a single charge. The company is also supporting logistics providers in their transition to electric vehicles through its Sustainable Logistics Consulting (SLC) programme.
The eActros 300 is equipped with three battery packs, each with 112 kWh of installed battery capacity. It can be charged at up to 160 kW, taking just over an hour to charge from 20 to 80% at a standard DC rapid charging station. This makes it suitable for daily operations, with each truck capable of covering around 180 km daily, as demonstrated by Große-Vehne Speditions, one of 17 logistics partners using the eActros.
The SLC programme, initiated by Mercedes-Benz Trucks, helps logistics providers like Große-Vehne Speditions plan their transition to electric vehicles. It includes a customer-specific transformation strategy, logistics route analysis, electrification concept development, suitable product identification, and depot charging infrastructure planning. Jens Hildenbrand, managing director of Große-Vehne Speditions, praised the programme for enabling optimal planning of emission-free transportation. Elke Pusskeiler, head of supply chain management at Mercedes-Benz Group, sees electrification of road transportation as key to achieving balance-sheet carbon neutrality.
The eActros 300, with its impressive range and charging capabilities, is leading the way in electric trucking. Mercedes-Benz Trucks' SLC programme is further facilitating this shift, with logistics providers like Große-Vehne Speditions already benefiting from the transition to electric vehicles.
