The third eActros EXPERIENCE of 2025
Electrifying experiences and pure driving enjoyment
On 12 and 13 September 2025, the third round of the eActros EXPERIENCE 2025 took place. Once again, members of the RoadStars community were invited to experience the future of electric driving up close. Here you can find out what awaited the participants over the two days.
Two days full of technology, discussion and emotions
The September edition of the eActros EXPERIENCE was all about contemporary electromobility and real practical experiences. RoadStars from six countries – Portugal, Spain, the Netherlands, France, Romania and Germany – came together to test the new eActros 600 live and exchange ideas with other drivers.
The highlight was the exclusive test drive: RoadStars were able to put the eActros 600 to the test themselves – accompanied by the experts. There was also a unique opportunity to address technical questions directly to the Mercedes-Benz Trucks engineering teams.
Another highlight was the practical safety training session at the test site – a combination of adrenaline, knowledge transfer and plenty of fun behind the wheel.
Starting at the Wörth plant – where trucks are created
The event was launched at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth – rich in tradition and Europe’s largest truck production site. The guided tour gave everyone a fascinating insight into the production processes, and they learned how many thousands of components go into creating a state-of-the-art truck. Precision, technology and teamwork – a concrete glimpse of what lies behind the star.
In the Experience World: conversations with experts
At the eActros 600 Experience World, not only did the latest models such as the eActros 600 and the Actros L await, but also the people who developed them. In a relaxed atmosphere, the RoadStars were able to ask their questions, give feedback and contribute their own ideas – in direct contact with the developers, which was inspiring for both parties.

Training for everyday life and efficiency
The eco training session explained how driving with foresight can reduce energy consumption and increase safety.
The subsequent safety part had it all: braking exercises with a full load, evasive manoeuvres, and correct seating positions ensured real ‘aha!’ moments – and were also a lot of fun. Perfect conditions and a cheerful atmosphere rounded off the experience perfectly.
A brewery visit and a sociable finale
The event concluded at the Höpfner brewery, where a guided tour and a communal dinner in the historic Knight’s Hall provided the opportunity for eager discussion of their experiences. Between laughter, technical chatter and plans for the next meeting, it became clear: the eActros EXPERIENCE 2025 had once again showed what makes the RoadStars community – passion, curiosity and solidarity.

The second eActros EXPERIENCE of 2025
A feel for technology
On 27 and 28 June 2025, it was time again: members of the RoadStars community were invited to enjoy the eActros EXPERIENCE live for the second time this year. Find out here whether the exclusive driving event centring on the new eActros 600 was everything our participants expected.
The eActros EXPERIENCE in June was all about real driving experiences, exciting technology and exchanging ideas with like-minded people. RoadStars from Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, France, Austria and the Czech Republic came together for two eventful days to experience the future of electric truck driving for themselves.
Of course, the focus was on the new eActros 600, which the participants were able to put through its paces during an exclusive test drive. Also on the agenda: an on-the-spot chat with the development teams of Mercedes-Benz Trucks – a rare opportunity to clarify technical questions first-hand.
The event was rounded off by intensive safety training at the test site – a real highlight that not only provided ‘aha!’ moments, but also plenty of driving fun.
The start: experience truck production up close
It all started at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth – Europe’s largest truck assembly plant. Here, participants were not only able to take a look behind the scenes, but could also experience how a tailor-made truck is created from thousands of individual parts. It is impressive to see how much precision and know-how is involved in every single vehicle.

Technology meets experience – chatting to the makers
The eActros 600 Experience World went a step further: there were not just state-of-the-art vehicles such as the eActros 300 and eActros 600 awaiting participants, but also the development team from Mercedes-Benz Trucks. Covering questions, feedback and real suggestions for improvement – there was space for everything that really matters to truckers in their everyday life. An exchange on an equal footing that was clearly enjoyed by everyone involved.
Past meets future – the extremes of driving pleasure
The rest of Friday was all about the classics: thanks to historic Mercedes-Benz trucks, our RoadStars were able to experience how driving used to feel – charming, but also challenging. On Saturday came the leap into the future: the eActros 600 and the Actros L hit the test track. Accompanied by experienced driving trainers, participants were able to drive the new models themselves – and were enthusiastic about the comfort and driving dynamics.
Safety & eco – for more efficiency and safety in everyday life
An eco training session showed how the right driving style can both reduce diesel consumption and make everyday life safer. The real highlight: the safety training session at the Mercedes-Benz Trucks test site. Full-stop braking with a loaded tractor/semitrailer combination, evasive manoeuvres and the perfect seating position – here it got very hands on. And all in the best weather and great atmosphere.
Great conclusion and great conversations – quite simply excellent
The event ended with a tour of the brewery, followed by dinner at Höpfner Burghof. Much laughter was shared, and people even discussed when they would meet again. We can only say one thing: Thank you for two unforgettable days full of passion, curiosity and community spirit.

Pure driving experience: The first eActros EXPERIENCE of 2025
From classics to the eActros 600
On 25 and 26 April 2025, randomly selected members of the RoadStars community took part in the first RoadStars eActros EXPERIENCE of the year. Find out here what they think about the new eActros 600 and what else they have experienced.
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.
In the largest Mercedes‑Benz truck assembly plant
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.
RoadStars have an exclusive chat with employees from Development
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?

Experiencing the eActros 600 and the test track for yourself – an unforgettable experience
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 session 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.
A great start for the eActros EXPERIENCE in 2025
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.
