In preparation for series production this fall, the Mercedes-Benz eActros 300 Tractor, along with the eActros 300 4×2 and the eActros 300 6×2, took a test drive from the company’s Wörth plant in Germany across Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Serbia and Bulgaria to its site in Aksaray, Turkey. Battery charging was performed only at public charging stations.

The test run, which included varied and demanding topography and a range of climatic conditions, focused on the vehicles’ safety systems, performance and durability as well as functionality of the range forecast, recuperation and connectivity with charging stations along the route.

Dr. Christof Weber, Head of Global Testing at Mercedes-Benz Trucks, said, “the e-truck has mastered the varied route through Central and Eastern Europe with ease and is ready for series production.”
