From classics to the eActros 600: RoadStars have the ultimate Mercedes-Benz Trucks experience

At the first RoadStars eActros EXPERIENCE, selected members of our RoadStars community were given an exclusive insight into the exciting world of Mercedes-Benz Trucks. The participants came from Romania, Poland, Austria, the Czech Republic and Germany. In addition to the unique opportunity to share ideas with each other, an action-packed agenda awaited our RoadStars – including a test drive of the brand-new eActros 600 and a face-to-face conversation with our Mercedes-Benz Trucks vehicle developers. Another special highlight was the driving experience at the Mercedes-Benz Trucks test site.

It all started with a guided tour of the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth, where the participants were able to follow the unique truck production processes live and were given an interesting insight into the production processes. This was particularly fascinating, as every vehicle is manufactured to customer specifications and is therefore unique.

The tour continued with a visit to the new eActros 600 Experience World, where participants marvelled at the eActros 300 semitrailer tractor and the eActros 600 up close. Here, they also received special insights into the future of truck driving from market researchers and developers at Mercedes-Benz Trucks, and were able to actively contribute suggestions for improvement and requests regarding the interfaces between human and machine – because who knows more about everyday trucking than our RoadStars?

With legendary classics from Mercedes-Benz Trucks, the RoadStars were able to experience for themselves how much driving has changed. For the two influencers Katarzyna and Adrian, it was something very special to experience the two vehicle worlds in direct comparison.

This was followed by the ultimate test drive for the RoadStars. Accompanied by driving instructors, the participants were able to experience the smooth driving experience of the eActros 600 for themselves. We have put some RoadStars voices on the screen for you here in the video clip. The agenda was rounded off with an eco training session. Here, participants learned how to reduce their fuel consumption in the long term when driving diesel trucks. The absolute highlight for all RoadStars was the safety training in the best weather conditions at the Mercedes-Benz Trucks “Development and Test Centre” test site: covering everything from the correct seat adjustment to emergency braking manoeuvres and evasive manoeuvres with fully laden tractor/semitrailer combinations – it felt like the day went by far too quickly.

After an action-packed day and many exciting impressions, the evening ended with a guided tour of the brewery and a delicious dinner at Höpfner Burghof. In the end, all that is left for us to do is say thank you. The first eActros EXPERIENCE 2025 was a complete success and we are delighted to have shared all those experiences with you. We look forward to seeing you again soon.
