More than 15,000 kilometers: The eActros 600 testing tour throughout Europe completed successfully

Mercedes-Benz Trucks successfully took its eActros 600 European Tour across the finishing line. After a 45-day all-electric development trip through a total of 22 countries, the two near-series prototypes of the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 arrived back in Wörth am Rhein, safe and sound with over 15,000 kilometers more on the clock. The two e-trucks covered exactly 15,269 and 15,939 kilometers respectively during this time and they completed the trip with a 40-ton gross combination mass. Along the entire route, the developers charged the two long-haul trucks exclusively at public charging points.
The tour officially started out from Frankfurt am Main on June 11. After traveling north through Germany, Denmark and Sweden, the two trucks reached the first major stage highlight, right on time for Midsummer: The North Cape in Norway, the most northerly point in Europe that can be reached by road. From the end of June, the convoy’s onward route turned south through Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, the Czech Republic, Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Slovenia, Italy, France and Spain. After a stop in Tarifa, Spain, the southernmost place in Continental Europe, which also marked the next major tour highlight, the trip once again took a northerly direction - back to Germany via Portugal, France, Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
With the “eActros 600 European Testing Tour 2024”, Mercedes-Benz Trucks intended to gain extensive experience on a wide range of routes in different topographies and climate zones with an eye on energy consumption. The manufacturer intends to then share these findings with interested customers.

Sehr schönes Video, klasse Bildmaterial dabei und abgesehen davon cool, dass der eActros das geschafft hat. Dachte nicht, dass ich mich mal für E-LKWs interessieren werde, aber der Elektrotrucker (Tobias) bringt's echt spannend rüber.

Sauber! Geht es im Winter bei z.B. -10C auch noch einigermaßen?
