European logistics firm Contargo has become one of the first customers to take delivery of the new Mercedes eActros 600 electric semi-truck. The company is adding 20 units to its trimodal delivery fleet. Contargo’s battery-electric fleet now numbers 60 trucks, and that number will soon increase to 90.
Contargo’s electric trucks were funded in part by the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and Transport as part of a plan to replace some 86 legacy diesel vehicles.
The eActros 600, which officially went into production at the Mercedes’s Wörth plant in Bavaria last month, is equipped with a 600 kWh battery pack, and boasts 300 miles of all-electric range. Daimler had delivered around 50 units as of the end of 2024.
