Logistics service provider Dachser will add 50 units of Mercedes-Benz eActros LongHaul to its European fleet.

Dachser will use the eActros LongHaul configured as a 6×2 swap body vehicle with a storage height of 1120 mm.

The e-truck, with a range of around 50 km with one charge, is expected to be ready for series production by 2024.

“Dachser is a very valuable customer for us in sustainable transport. Dachser was already a committed testing partner during the development of the eActros 300/400 for heavy-duty distribution transport,” said Stina Fagerman, head of marketing, sales and services at Mercedes-Benz Trucks.

“We are all the more pleased that the logistics company is now also planning to rely on the eActros LongHaul in the next step, reinforcing our e-strategy.”

“The long range of the eActros LongHaul will enable us to transport goods between our European locations without emissions, even in heavy payload traffic and in long-haul transport,” said Alexander Tonn, chief operating officer road logistics at Dachser.

“This is an important component of Dachser’s long-term climate protection strategy.”
