Following the market launch of the eActros for heavy-duty distribution transport in 2021, Mercedes-Benz Vans is systematically urgent forward with the introduction of further battery-electric fashions for this and coming years. For the necessary long-haul phase, the eActros LongHaul, with a variety of round 500 kilometers (311 miles) on one battery cost, is scheduled to be prepared for sequence manufacturing in 2024. The eActros LongHaul may even allow high-performance megawatt charging.
The primary prototypes of the 40-ton truck are already present process inside exams and Mercedes-Benz Vans’ engineers are planning to start out trials of the e-truck on public roads this 12 months.
Mercedes-Benz Vans can be getting ready further variants of the eActros—particularly of the eActros 300 and the eActros 400—and, as early as July, the eEconic for municipal use is scheduled to roll off the manufacturing line on the Wörth plant because the second all-electric sequence manufacturing automobile. The objective of Mercedes-Benz Vans is to extend the share of regionally CO2-neutral new automobiles in Europe to greater than 50% by 2030.
With a purpose to introduce truck prospects from throughout Europe to e-mobility, the producer is organizing an occasion lasting a number of weeks across the Wörth website beginning in early June. Consultants from Mercedes-Benz Vans will inform a complete of some 1,000 members on the central points of e-mobility, from infrastructure and providers to electrical fashions. As well as, prospects may have the chance to drive the eActros 300 on demanding routes and with practical payloads.
In depot charging, Mercedes-Benz Vans is working along with Siemens Sensible Infrastructure, ENGIE and EVBox Group. When it comes to public charging for long-distance transport, Daimler Truck, TRATON GROUP and the Volvo Group have signed a binding settlement to determine a three way partnership. It will present for the event and operation of a public, high-performance charging community for battery-electric heavy-duty long-haul vans and coaches in Europe. The charging community of those three events can be obtainable to fleet operators in Europe no matter model.
The objective of the Excessive-Efficiency Charging in Lengthy-Haul Truck Transport (HoLa) challenge, with the participation of Daimler Truck and beneath the aegis of the German Affiliation of the Automotive Trade (VDA), is to plan, erect and function a choose high-performance charging infrastructure for battery-electric long-haul truck transport. Two high-performance charging factors with the Megawatt Charging System (MCS) are to be erected at every of 4 areas in Germany and examined in real-world functions. Varied different consortium companions from trade and analysis are concerned within the challenge.
