Our ambition is to only offer new vehicles in Europe, Japan and North America by 2039 that are CO2-neutral in operation (“tank-to-wheel”). FUSO launched the small series production of the first-generation eCanter in 2017; the battery-electric models Mercedes-Benz eCitaro, eActros 300|400 and eEconic have been in series production since 2018, 2021 and 2022 respectively. In sum, we already have ten all-electric truck and bus models in our global product portfolio, with very positive feedback from our customers. In November 2024, we will celebrate the start of series production of the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600. This is an important next milestone because with a range of 500 kilometers our eActros 600 addresses the long-haul segment – and long-haul accounts for two thirds of all CO2-emissions from heavy road freight transport in Europe and therefore is key to decarbonize transportation. 

However, on the road to sustainable transportation battery-electric drives alone will not be enough. Our industry will also need hydrogen-powered drives. As for fuel cells, we demonstrated the capabilities of this technology last fall when our GenH2 Truck successfully mastered a record-breaking trip of 1,047 kilometers fully-loaded under real-life conditions. This summer, we started initial customer testing, and series production is planned for the end of the decade. In addition, we continue to also work on hydrogen combustion engines. 

At Daimler Truck, we are therefore proud to state: We are launching more and more zero-emission truck and bus models onto the market. We deliver.
