Mercedes-Benz: e-trucks for own supply chain
Mercedes-Benz Trucks is relying on e-trucks for its own supply chain. The aim is to electrify 100% of the delivery traffic to its largest truck plant by the end of 2026. Several freight forwarders will be participating in the pilot phase, which is scheduled for implementation in 2023.
Next year, the first fully electric deliveries will be made to the plant in Wörth, including shipments from the company’s sister plants.
Electrically powered Mercedes-Benz eActros 300 tractors will be deployed in the pilot phase, with the eActros Long Haul and other models to be added at a later date.
The plans also include setting up a charging infrastructure in the Wörth plant, which will be available to both suppliers’ and company-owned vehicles. (ben)
