It's a nice idea. And probably perfectly engineered. But its 22 tons of cargo only. A regular 40 ton truck wheighs 13 Tons. So about 27 tons payload and the regular truck is cheaper. A 44ton electric truck is still not a 40 ton regular truck...Isn't that a legal problem?
When I first saw this truck I thought it was ugly as hell and I could not stand it. I was even wondering how could anyone with more than 2 brain cells see this design and approve it but....there is always BUT...the more I see it the more I like it and It came to that point where it is actually gorgeous! I just sincerely hope Mercedes will give the license to SCS to add this truck to the Euro Truck Simulator 2
Sure, I agree. And they are trying, but you can not make new world over night.. most trucks will still drive on diesel, because the infrastructure is a lot behind.. you can barely park truck after 18:00 on main highways.. after driving it for 550-600km that day, you have to plug it and then go to sleep.. very inconvenient at this moment :/ I am talking for international loads.. where you pick up and deliver 1000+km away.. It will be interesting how this will evolve, can’t wait..
@@Lukec563well right now there aren't any long haul electric semi trucks. So that's why there is no charging infrastructure for it. Tesla teased for a long time, but still nothing on a large scale. If some come, most definitely things will change on the charging infrastructure side
@@bq5577x only in Germany, there is 313,000 registered parking spaces for trucks.. it would/will cost 35B Euros to build charging stations. Plus, you will need even more parking spaces to charge it every day vs. now 1 or 2 times a week for 15-20 min depends on the pump.. Anyway, will take some time and money to prepare the infrastructure ✌️
@@Simon-dm8zv You really think those trucks can pull 100-200-300 tons in same way and same performance as right now 8x4 trucks? Where you think they will go and charge those trucks when they have oversize loads behind them? Right now trucks have 1000-1200 liters of fuel with them to maintain enaough fuel from A to B location.
@@Simon-dm8zv are you kidding with loading capabilities? LOL When that’s going to happen?? 10 years? 15 years? Do you understand that trucks do not make any fuel stops with huge loads because they do not fit into stations and that’s why they have 1000+ liters fuel tanks to drive from point A to point B without refueling. Ofcorse it’s nice to dream but I can’t see that happen in heavy haul segment
@@fboestThe eActros in the video above is already capable of 500 km range. In less than 10 years your scenario should definitely be possible. Heavy loads are only slightly wider than a normal truck because they still have to fit on the road, so obviously they will also fit in a charging bay.
I don't agree with a weak engine in difficult tasks that are not allowed to be tried in easy places and in terms of charging batteries take a long electric motor just cheat
See description for details 🏁

Holy shit what a truck this guy is this truck should be here in Brazil @MercedesBenzTrucks brings this truck to Brazil
😮 novo e600, logo logo vai chegar no Brasil!

Good 👍👍👍👍👍
I like what Mercedes has done but when will this truck rich Kenyan roads thanks very nice prime mover.

It have a really annoying motor sound! Hope it sounds like this only outside. As a driver I would get crazy off this low frequent sound!
Trucks and buses should be highest priority, most are equivalent to 100 commuter cars in fuel usage.
Sure, I agree.

You mean 10-15 commuter cars.

NICE

Пора возраждать эфирные технологии.
Beside all that eco/green madness...So whats the solution for heavy haul transport? No electric truck seems to be capable to fill that segment
Why do you think it is a ‘madness’? And obviously heavy haul will be fully electric as well in the near future.

@@fboest Of course, electric motors are often stronger than diesel engines. And fast chargers will be everywhere, also for trucks.
