TECHNICAL FEATURES 
Mercedes Trucks of his new electric truck. This vehicle will be equipped with 3 battery packs (of the LFP type) for a capacity; total of over 600 kWh . The truck will be able to count on 2 electric motors for a continuous power of 400 kW and for a peak power of 600 kW.

In this way, the German manufacturer will offer; to its customers different options so as to be able to satisfy the different needs.
The development engineers at Mercedes-Benz Trucks have designed the eActros LongHaul on the basis of the same durability requirements of the vehicle and its components that apply to a comparable conventional Actros, which is therefore used for heavy long-haul transport. This means 1.2 million kilometers of travel in ten years of use.
The electric truck will be produced in the W & ouml; rth plant. The batteries of the standard eActros LongHaul can be recharged from 20 to 80% in less than 30 minutes thanks to the & quot; megawatt charging & quot ;. The manufacturer expects a range of around 500 km . As we know, Mercedes Trucks is also working on the development of a specific ultra-high-power charging infrastructure for electric trucks.
For this, it has formed a joint venture together with TRATON GROUP and Volvo Group. This has the objective of developing and managing a high-performance public charging network for heavy duty trucks and buses with battery electric traction in Europe. In addition, it participates in the & quot; HoLa & quot; project. The objective of the project, sponsored by the VDA, is; the planning, construction and management of a high-performance charging infrastructure for long-haul transport by battery electric trucks.
And to increase the range of its electric truck up to 800 km, you can & agrave; use the eActros LongHaul in combination with the eTrailer, an electrified semitrailer .
