In 2018, Mercedes-Benz presented the new eActros — the electric version of the Actros truck. The first eActros models will hit the streets in 2018 as part of an innovation fleet.
The basis for the eActros is provided by the frame of the Actros. Otherwise, however, the vehicle architecture has been configured specifically for an electric drive system, with a high proportion of specific components. The drive system comprises two electric motors located close to the rear-axle wheel hubs.
