eMobility at Mercedes‑Benz Trucks
Ready for tomorrow today.
Welcome to change: The transition to eMobility is revolutionizing an entire industry. Reduced emissions, lower operating costs, quiet and comfortable driving – battery-electric trucks are the future of transport. To help shape it successfully, we are already setting the right course today. And we help our customers seize the opportunities of the future.
eMobility – how did it start?
From research to production.
It began as a research project into alternative powertrains and the possibilities of hydrogen and batteries. But what was then still theoretical laboratory work is already reality on the road today: in 2016 we presented our first prototype of a battery‑electric truck. In 2021 the eActros 300/400 followed, which proved itself in practice. In 2022 the eEconic was launched, our electrified truck for urban use. With the eActros 600, we took another significant step toward battery‑electric transport in 2023.
In 2025, the eArocs 400 proves itself in low‑noise, locally CO2‑neutral operation in urban construction traffic. In addition, the new eActros 400 expands the eActros family and opens up a range of additional possibilities for CO2‑reduced delivery transport. This expands a vehicle portfolio in which you can also find a suitable solution for your path to a sustainable, electrified future.
What is our vision?
Together into the future.
Mercedes‑Benz Trucks customers like you ensure reliable, safe and efficient transport worldwide. This makes us an important part of society and brings with it great responsibility. The demand for sustainable transport is rising rapidly. We have a clear ambition to take a leading role in the transformation of the industry. This is very much in the pioneering spirit that drives us as the inventor of the automobile.

Voices of Change
More and more European transport companies are taking the step into eMobility with the eActros 600. This includes Eurolink from Ljungbyhed in Sweden and the Bednarek Business Group from Turek in Poland. Together with Mercedes‑Benz Trucks, they demonstrate in daily operation what CO₂‑reduced transport on the road brings: new experiences, unexpected aha moments and strong performance on routes that simply pay off.

After 36 years driving diesel, one of the most loyal drivers of the Swedish transport company Eurolink is switching to the eActros 600 – and he never wants to go back.
FAQs about eMobility
What moves you
Getting started with a new technology is usually accompanied by major challenges, considerable uncertainties and sometimes even prejudices. Here our eMobility experts answer your most frequently asked questions.
"We want our customers to engage with the topic of Power supply equipment, and we encourage them to consider all aspects at an early stage. Important topics include, for example, grid capacities as well as the time required for the necessary power planning and the final construction of the Power supply equipment."
“Cold temperatures have a negative impact on the range of an electric truck. Therefore, we conduct extensive tests, for example in northern Finland, at temperatures down to minus 25 degrees Celsius. We also have a battery management system that keeps the battery temperature at the right level throughout operation.1”
"It is planned that the batteries of the eActros 600 can be charged at a charging station with around one megawatt of power from 20 % to 80 % in approximately 30 minutes.2"
"Just like our diesel trucks, our battery‑electric trucks also meet the safety requirements. For example, we also conduct crash tests with them. In addition, we have a battery safety concept that, for example, monitors the battery temperature throughout the truck's operation. To further increase safety, our eTrucks of course also feature our comprehensive driver assistance systems, such as Active Brake Assist3."
"One might think that there is an empty space, but that is actually not the case. Here is the position of our front box, where we have used the space efficiently to house, for example, pumps, compressors and control units."
"They sound great. We have installed an acoustic vehicle alerting system that produces artificial sound and makes the truck noticeable in its surroundings, especially at lower speeds."
