'Europe needs to ensure its truck and bus industry is not only sustainable but can stay competitive globally.' Watch the interview of Sigrid de Vries on behalf of European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) and Harald Seidel (Chairperson of ACEA's Commercial Vehicle Board) about this #sustainable #transport #competitive #industry #UpToSpeed 

The #eActros600TestingTour officially started in Frankfurt/Main - The intention is for two near-series prototypes of the battery-electric long-haul truck to travel across more than 20 European countries, each completing more than 13,000 kilometers with 40 tons total towing weight. ⭐🚛🔋 With this venture, we're pursuing the objective of gaining extensive experience on a wide range of routes in different topographies and climate zones with an eye on energy consumption. Mercedes-Benz Trucks intends to then share these findings with interested customers. Secondly, Mercedes-Benz Trucks wants to use the tour to prove that our eActros 600 makes purely battery-electric, transnational long-distance haulage possible in Europe. For instance, the intention is to charge the batteries exclusively at public charging stations. 🔌⚡ #DaimlerTruck #MercedesBenzTrucks #eActros600 #FutureMoves

One week since IAA TRANSPORTATION, and we're still charged up about the future of electromobility! ⚡️We’re not just building cutting-edge electric trucks—we’re laying the groundwork for the infrastructure to support them. With partnerships like Milence (with TRATON GROUP, Daimler Truck AG, and Volvo Group) and our cooperation with E.ON we are leading the charging revolution forward. 🚛 The first truck charging park in Antwerp is LIVE, with plans for 1,700 charging points. By 2030, we’ll need 50,000!  🌍 Together with E.ON, we’re setting up 170 charging locations across Europe, including Austria, the UK, Denmark, Italy, Poland, and beyond. The future of transport is electric, and we’re building the network to drive it. #IAA2024 #Electromobility #ChargingRevolution #SustainableTransport #MANTruckAndBus #ZeroEmissions

Time to embark on even longer journeys! The eActros 600 is made for long distances, with a range of up to 500 km without recharging.* This is a next-level range compared to the eActros 300/400. As proof, one of the near-series prototypes recently completed a European tour through 22 countries, covering over 15,000 km, and will be showcased live at this year’s IAA Transportation.

Our #eActros600 was recently voted as “International Truck of the Year 2025" 🚛🏆️ The new electric flagship from #MercedesBenzTrucks impresses with its advanced aerodynamics, powertrain performance, and reliable range of 500 kilometers* without intermediate charging. The eActros 600 will even be able to cover well over 1,000 kilometers per day. Intermediate charging during statutory driver breaks – even without megawatt charging – makes this possible, provided that charging options are available. In addition to CCS charging with up to 400 kW, the eActros 600 will later also enable megawatt charging (MCS). 🚛🔋 Learn more: https://dth.ag/TotY #DaimlerTruck #eActros600TestingTour #ElectricTruck #FutureMoves *The range was determined internally under specific test conditions, after preconditioning with a 4x2 semitrailer tractor with 40 t gross combination mass at 20°C outside temperature in long-distance haulage operation, and may deviate from the values determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/2400.

WHAT IS THIS Siemens is introducing their 'eHighway' project, using overhead power lines to enable hybrid trucks to operate at up to 90km/h without emissions. The system is already in place in Sweden and California, and now Germany is funding its installation on a 10km stretch of the A5 autobahn. WHY THIS IS AWESOME - Real-world test for climate-neutral freight transport in urban Frankfurt. - Could cut 6 million tonnes of CO2 annually if 30% of trucks are electrified. - Significant government and industry backing, indicating strong support. - Potential for widespread adoption in other regions if successful. This could genuinely transform freight transport and significantly reduce emissions. More importantly, it has the potential to not just power trucks but any type of electric vehicle. It reminds me of how cars work in iRobot - in a good way! #Innovation #Sustainability #Trucking

Van Hool: crisis, bankruptcy, VDL Groep new ownership. An emblematic story on the trends on the European bus industry 🪢 The Van Hool – VDL story ties in with many others: the difficulties of industrial players in the post-pandemic recovery, the competitiveness of vehicle manufacturing (buses, in this case) in Western Europe (Van Hool has always kept part of its production in Belgium), the strategic and financial upheavals caused by the transition to electric drives. 🔗 Let's try to recap: https://lnkd.in/dRhE7dmS #vanhool #vdl #bus #mobility #publictransport #buses #autobus
