Testing new Mercedes electric semitrailer truck
DHL Freight has put a Mercedes-Benz eActros 300 Tractor to the test over several days in practice in Germany.
The battery-electric truck transported an average of 12 t of production material from the DHL Terminal in Hagen near Dortmund to the Mercedes-Benz plant in Kassel, some 175 km away – without having to stop for charging. It covered 350 km per day. Among other things, the batteries were charged at a truck charging station on the company’s premises in Kassel.
The findings from the test operation serve as the basis for the planned conversion to CO2-neutral deliveries to the plant. Daimler says that it plans to launch series production of the electric semitrailer truck in autumn 2023. (ben)
