Mercedes eActros 600

A small event in the world of decarbonized transport, the very first French example of the Mercedes eActros 600 has been delivered.

The story begins in October 2023 in Hamburg, during the world premiere of the Mercedes eActros 600 electric. Barely unveiled, it was ordered “off the catalog” by the ALAINÉ Group, with a firm condition: to be the first to receive it in France. The challenge was met! Laurent Chambon, Commercial Director of Daimler Truck France, handed over the (big) key in person to Franck Alainé, CEO of the Group, at the company’s headquarters in Mâcon.

The Mercedes eActros 600 is a concentration of technology that inspires as much as it impresses. Unveiled in Hamburg, it established itself as the star of the Daimler booth a year later at the IAA show. Even better, it earned the prestigious title of “Truck of the Year 2025,” awarded by a European jury.

A revolution on wheels

So, what’s under the hood? An electric axle integrating motors and a gearbox, which frees up space for three Lithium/Iron/Phosphate (LFP) batteries of 207 kWh each. With this setup, it can cover more than 500 kilometers on a full charge at 40 tons. And for those who dislike waiting, it recharges in 45 minutes from 20 to 80% via a CCS2 port, with a Megawatt charger planned soon.

But the eActros 600 is not just eco-friendly. With its ProCabine cabin featuring futuristic lines, it optimizes aerodynamics and further reduces consumption. In terms of safety, it far exceeds standard requirements: automatic braking for obstacles, blind spot monitoring with immobilization if necessary, and front detection of pedestrians or cyclists. No compromises, everything is designed to protect both the environment and road users. The future of heavy transport is here, and it is electric!
