First eActros 600 Delivered to Exland
In a groundbreaking move towards sustainable logistics, the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 has officially been delivered to EXLAND in Manresa, Barcelona. This delivery marks a significant milestone, making EXLAND one of the pioneering companies in Catalonia to integrate electric technology into heavy-duty transportation.
The Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 is not just an electric truck; it represents the forefront of heavy transportation technology. With a certified range of over 500 kilometers on a single charge, this vehicle is equipped to handle the same operational demands as its diesel counterparts. Its continuous power output of 621 kW (800 horsepower) ensures it meets the rigorous standards expected in the logistics industry.
Charging is streamlined with ultra-fast technology, compatible with chargers of up to 1,000 kW, significantly minimizing downtime. Additionally, the regenerative braking system is designed to recover between 50 to 80 kilometers of additional range by harnessing energy generated during braking and deceleration, enhancing operational efficiency.
Emphasizing sustainability and environmental impact
One of the most compelling aspects of the eActros 600 is its environmental credentials. According to an internal study by EXLAND, the introduction of this electric truck is projected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 72% compared to equivalent diesel trucks. This translates to an estimated annual reduction of approximately 120 tons of CO₂ per vehicle, making a substantial contribution to climate change mitigation efforts.
- Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions by up to 72%.
- Elimination of approximately 120 tons of CO₂ annually per truck.
- Support for local and global sustainability initiatives.
Joan Navarro, the Sales Manager for Mercedes-Benz at QUADIS Autolica Industriales, remarked, “This milestone reinforces our commitment to driving innovative and sustainable solutions in the heavy transport sector.” This statement encapsulates the strategic shift towards electric vehicles (EVs) in the logistics industry, reflecting a broader trend towards greener operations.
Delivery ceremony: A celebration of innovation
