BERLIN (Reuters) – Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Hegelmann Group have signed a letter of intent for the order of 50 battery-electric long-haul trucks, which are to be delivered to Hegelmann with the start of series production in 2024, a company statement said on Wednesday.
The eActros LongHaul model, which will have a range of around 500 kilometres on a single battery charge, will be tested on public roads for the first time this year, said Daimler (OTC:) Truck, which owns Mercedes-Benz Trucks.
It said letters of intent were already signed with Amazon (NASDAQ:) and Rhenus in September.
