Mercedes-Benz to launch new electric trucks based on eActros 600

Mercedes-Benz Trucks has announced that it will expand its portfolio of battery electric trucks with further variants based on its flagship long-haul eActros 600.

New models will be available to order from autumn 2025. The expanded portfolio will include tractor units and platform chassis with additional wheelbases, variants with two battery packs, as well as long cab variants of the Actros design in different roof shapes.

The new version will incorporate the key features of the second-generation long-haul e-truck, says Mercedes-Benz, highlighting its modern drive technology and high energy efficiency as key benefits.

Further cited strengths of the eActros 600, which was introduced last year with the new ProCabin, include the self-developed electric drive axle, the lithium iron phosphate cell technology (LFP) known for its long service life, and the 800-volt on-board voltage, as well as the new Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2 and assistance systems for improved driving comfort and safety.

Achim Puchert, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Trucks, said: “Our goal is to drive the industry’s decarbonisation at high speed by electrifying more and more transport applications. The areas of application and thus the needs of our customers for battery-electric trucks are very diverse, especially with regard to payload and range.

“With the new variants, which will build on the strengths of the eActros 600, we want to offer our customers the best from the Mercedes-Benz Trucks modular system and support them in managing their transport solutions with battery-electricity and economically.”

Series production of the eActros 600 commenced at the end of last year. Further forthcoming developments at Mercedes-Benz include the 2026 launch of a small series of the new eArocs 400 for urban construction haulage, which was recently showcased at Bauma 2025. The model adopts essential components from the eActros 600, including the LFP batteries.
