Both eActros trucks fight different topographic challenges, different types of traffic and tight deadlines.

The Migros vehicle also features a refrigerated replacement box, with optimum insulation for energy-efficient transport of refrigerated goods.

The eActros is built on the frame of the Mercedes-Benz Actros. Two electric motors, located near the wheel hubs of the rear axle, put the vehicle in motion, each delivering an output of 126 kW and 485 Nm maximum torque. Lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 240 kWh store energy for approximately 200 kilometers.
