Swiss premiere: The first eActros has now entered trailer operations!

The commissioning of our brand new gem, the eActros 300 6×2, took place on 2nd March. This means we are now on the road with an electrically-powered trailer vehicle. How will it compare with its counterparts which don’t have trailers?

Our innovative vehicle fleet is growing. The first eActros has now entered trailer operations in Switzerland. Three lithium-ion batteries help the eActros achieve a range of up to 300 kilometres. It features a box body with a lifting platform, as well as a 2-axle trailer (18 tonnes) including a through-loading system. Above all else, this system creates efficiency when loading and unloading the HGV. A total battery capacity of 336 kWh, a useful load of approx. 22 tonnes, and a permitted overall weight including trailer of 40 tonnes – such is the performance potential.

The vehicle has two so-called heat exchangers. The double cooling system optimises the oil temperature in the circuit, and ensures a flawless interaction with the transmission circuit. These cool the system down, which quickly becomes hot at high gradients.

We are pleased to take another step in emission-free delivery.
