With the latest addition to its battery-electric truck portfolio, the manufacturer is offering a solution specifically designed for high-volume transport applications. The eActros Lowliner addresses the growing demand for locally CO₂e-free transport solutions in high-volume long-haul logistics and creates additional opportunities for freight carriers to electrify their transport operations. The new models will be available for order in the EU30 markets and additional international markets beginning in the third quarter of 2026. Series production at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth will start in the second quarter of 2027. 

Like the current second-generation eActros portfolio, the eActros Lowliner is based on the overall technological concept of the eActros 600, which has been in series production and customer operation since the end of 2024. The eActros Lowliner is offered as a 4x2 tractor unit with a 4,000 mm wheelbase and a 2.50-meter-wide cab. It matches the fifth-wheel height and ground clearance of comparable diesel trucks. This allows mega trailers to comply with legally permitted overall vehicle heights while providing a maximum interior height of up to three meters for high-volume transport applications. Thanks to its fifth-wheel height aligned with diesel variants, the eActros Lowliner facilitates the integration of battery-electric vehicles into existing transport operations and fleet structures.

The low fifth-wheel height is achieved through a modified integration of the battery packs. Unlike the eActros 600, where the batteries are installed transversely beneath the frame, the battery packs in the eActros Lowliner are mounted longitudinally along the vehicle frame. This requires less installation space beneath the vehicle and enables the particularly low fifth-wheel height.

The eActros Lowliner features Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ in-house developed and proven electric drive axle, lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cell technology known for its long service life, and an 800-volt electrical architecture. These are complemented by the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2 and a comprehensive range of safety assistance systems^[1].

The eActros Lowliner is available with either two or three LFP battery packs, each providing 207 kWh^[2]. This results in an installed battery capacity of 414 kWh^[2] for the eActros 400 Lowliner and 621 kWh^[2] for the eActros 600 Lowliner.
