Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 completes rally around the U.K.
10 Jul 2024|90 views
Remember the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 and its 621kWh battery pack?
The last time the tractor unit hit the news in October 2023, Mercedes stated that it was about to be put to the test, with a fleet already being put into practical testing with customers. Now the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 has truly proven its mettle, having complete a five-day 2,250km around the U.K.
And the tractor unit did this, hauling not just standard road trailer but was also fully freighted at 40 tonnes, as part of 2024 EV Rally event. Mercedes states that the tractor unit easily saw off the challenge, which included visiting a total of 26 locations, corresponding to every letter of the alphabet - albeit with some creative licence when it came to the letters x and z.
Open to all electric vehicles but only seeing two trucks taking part, with the eActros the only tractor unit, the challenge saw vehicles starting off from the West Midlands, and visiting locations including Carlisle, Sheffield, Cambridge, and Exeter, before reaching the finish line in Chester. The eActros also visited many of the U.K.'s network of Mercedes-Benz truck dealers on its journey around the country.
