Daimler Trucks, the German automaker’s division producing commercial vehicles, is working on its Tesla Semi competitor. Recent Daimler’s press-release showed that the new truck will be called Mercedes-Benz eActros LongHaul.
⠀
Noticeable, that Mercedes-Benz eActros name is already in use for the shorter range urban truck. Those cars are now being tested by potential European owners in real-life conditions.
⠀
eActros LongHaul concept differs by its range which is the most important. The semi-truck is expected to be capable of 500 km commute - the figure doesn’t seem amazing considering Tesla Semi for instance, though it may be alright for short European commutes.
⠀
Daimler expects that eActros LongHaul production version will be ready in 2024.
