Daimler Truck Adds eActros 600 to Truck Rental Fleet
Daimler Truck does not disclose the exact electric share among the 6,000 CharterWay trucks, but all current models are represented. Customers in Germany can rent the eActros 300 and 400 – though their production will end later this year – as well as the eEconic, the eArocs 400 for construction applications, and the Fuso eCanter, alongside their diesel counterparts.
Daimler Truck has now officially added another model to the portfolio. It already announced in January that it would add over 100 eActros 600 units to the CharterWay fleet this year. Since June, the model has been available for hire. “With the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600, we enable a sustainable and cost-effective alternative for heavy-duty haulage and make the entry into electromobility simple and risk-free,” said Martin Kehnen, CEO of CharterWay.
The eActros 600 is the flagship of Mercedes-Benz Trucks and has been in series production since November 2024. The first vehicles were handed over to customers in December of the same year. Only weeks later, the manufacturer signed a major contract with online giant Amazon for 200 units of the eActros 600 – the largest electric truck order to date for Mercedes-Benz Trucks. In the months that followed, many more units were delivered to customers, including the haulage companies Brummer Logistik, UK delivery network HIVED, and Lidl Italia. More than a dozen Daimler Truck logistics partners are also using the eActros 600 for factory supply operations.
