The new eActros - Charged & Ready

Sustainable, future-oriented, driven by innovation and quiet: that's the first all-electric truck from Mercedes-Benz. But the eActros is more than just a truck. It is part of the integrated eActros solution which, in addition to the truck and its conventional services, also includes new eConsulting and innovative digital solutions – all of which bring us a little closer to the target of zero local emissions.

With the eActros 300 Tractor, we are expanding our range of local CO2 neutral heavy-duty urban distribution transport. As part of the integrated eActros solution, the eActros 300 semi-trailer tractor will help your fleet make the transition to net-zero local emissions effortlessly.

 

Key Features

The eActros is available in two versions with three or four batteries. Each of these special lithium-ion batteries has a capacity of approximately 112 kWh1, resulting in total battery capacity of around 3362 and 448 kWh2. All this power helps the eActros to travel distances of up to 330 km3 and 400 km4, although the exact range may vary depending on the geography of the area, driving method, outside temperature, load and body, among other factors. The eActros has excellent stamina, making it ideal for heavy-duty distribution haulage in urban areas.

Filling stations are replaced by charging stations. The standardised charging system makes charging the eActros as intuitive as possible: apply the electronic parking brake, unlock the vehicle, connect the CCS Combo-2 plug to the vehicle's charging socket (it locks automatically) and let the charging process begin!

With a charging capacity of 160 kW, it can go from 20% battery to 80% in just over an hour with three batteries5 and in around an hour and a half with four batteries. And with that, your eActros can hit the road again! Among other factors, the average charging time depends on the ambient temperature and the vehicle temperature, the charge level of the batteries and the charging capacity of the charging station. To stop the electrical charging process, press the stop button next to the charge socket to unlock the vehicle.

It goes without saying that the eActros comes as standard with proven assistance systems from Mercedes-Benz Trucks to assist drivers, especially in urban areas: from Stability Control Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Attention Assist and Sideguard Assist7 to Active Brake Assist 5, tyre pressure monitoring and Roll Control Assist.6 The cab will also be equipped with a new fire detection and alarm system with which drivers can be warned in good time of an emergency. Because we want to make heavy, urban short-radius distribution safe and efficient.

What's more, all eActros variants are equipped with the legally prescribed Acoustic Vehicle Alert System as standard. This is an acoustic warning system that sounds when the vehicle travels at speeds of up to 60 km/h in order to make other road users aware of the vehicle, increasing safety in the process.

The special Mercedes-Benz electric axle with two motors, continuous output of 330 kW and maximum output of 400 kW provide for immediate and powerful acceleration. This incredible driving experience is supported by a two-speed transmission and a low centre of gravity.

Thanks to the Multimedia Cockpit and the MirrorCam as standard features, a particularly low noise level in the cab and low vibration (as there is no engine under the cab), driving and working in the eActros are made as relaxing and stress-free as possible.

Fully linked and intuitive, the command centre not only boasts a new design, but it also offers e-specific functions.  For example, the range is displayed in terms of both distance and time, and the current and average energy consumption as kWh/100km.

*The range was determined internally under optimum conditions, including four battery packs after preconditioning in partially loaded distribution traffic without a trailer at 20⁰C outside temperature.

**The eActros can be charged with up to 160kW.  Based on internally determined empirical values under optimal conditions, including at an ambient temperature of 20⁰C at a standard DC fast-charging station with 400 A charging current, the three battery packs need around 75 minutes to be charged from 20% to 80%
