Mercedes-Benz to begin battery electric truck series production in 2021

• SEPTEMBER 25, 2020

German automotive giant Daimler’s subsidiary Mercedes-Benz Trucks will soon begin building a prototype of its battery-electric eActros truck for heavy-duty distribution haulage at its Wörth manufacturing facility, with series production due to start in 2021.

Mercedes-Benz Trucks announced this week that, under its “Now & Next” banner, a number of new products will begin production at its Wörth plant in the west of Germany, including the prototype version of its battery-electric eActros truck, which is apparently “close to the series-production vehicle and gives a very tangible impression of the future model.”

“The start of series production next year is an important milestone for the plant and the region. We are expanding the portfolio of the Wörth plant and taking another positive step in the direction of CO₂-neutral transport.”
