Daimler introduces Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck - Fully electric heavy truck

The Daimer Group has set a new milestone with the introduction of the world's first fully electric electric tractor, Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck. Although still covered with a "camouflage shirt", Urban eTruck is not much different from the traditional scissors.

The biggest difference from the diesel tractors that eTruck will not be "noisy". And with a load of 26 tons, this is the first heavy-duty truck "down the road" . Daimler was faster than Tesla, which last week revealed plans to develop heavy trucks.

With a heavy electric truck, its biggest drawback would be the distance it takes for one charge and the Urban eTruck is no exception. Currently, eTruck can travel about 200km on a full charge, so it is obviously not ideal for long journeys. However, the word "Urban" in its name has determined itself to be born for cities, requiring heavy trucks: green and noisy.

According to Daimler, electric trucks will not start production until the first half of the next decade because of waiting for technology to develop. Daimler believes that technology improvements will help reduce the cost of the battery by about 2.5 times by 2025 while the performance will increase.

Electric trucks will not begin production until the first half of the next decade because of pending technology development.

It takes about 10 years to see Mercedes-Benz's first heavy-duty trucks officially running on the road.

Thus, it will take about 10 years before Mercedes-Benz's first heavy-duty trucks can officially run on the road. But once it is popular, it will probably accelerate very quickly. Some major cities in the world, such as London or Paris, are considering banning vehicles for urban combustion engines in urban areas. And that is why electric trucks completely go down the road to ensure the supply of goods for daily needs of people.
