HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach / Flowerbudnews: Mercedes-Benz’s renowned truck series, Actros and Econic, have long dominated the Hong Kong commercial vehicle market as two of the most popular heavy-duty truck models.
The Actros truck has established itself as the backbone of local and cross-border logistics, while the Econic series caters to the needs of urban applications with its ultra-low floor design.
Mercedes-Benz has officially introduced the all-electric versions of these two truck series, the eActros and eEconic, to the Hong Kong market, taking a significant step towards meeting the increasingly critical standards of eco-friendly freight transport and partnering with the local freight industry and truck users in the journey towards carbon-neutral transportation.
Embracing the Environmental Trend, Heading towards a Green Future With the introduction of the eActros and eEconic in Hong Kong, local businesses can now acquire large-scale environmentally friendly transport vehicles that offer enhanced performance, aligning with their growing emphasis on sustainable development strategies (ESG).
The all-electric eActros and eEconic, now showcased at the Mercedes-Benz Truck and Bus Service Center, are poised to provide a wider range of all-electric and eco-friendly options for the local trucking industry. Upholding Mercedes-Benz’s consistent philosophy of delivering reliable, high-quality, and comfortable driving experiences, these two all-electric trucks are available for order and are expected to be delivered and put into service in the second quarter of 2024.
The eActros 400 is equipped with a large lithium-ion battery pack with a total capacity of 448 kWh, providing a range of up to 400 km*.
With a powerful dual-motor system delivering a total output of 400 kW (544hp), the eActros exhibits superior performance compared to its diesel-engine counterparts. When choosing all-electric trucks in the transportation industry, several decisive factors come into play, including range, power output, fast charging capability, adaptability for daily use, and application flexibility. Additionally, low noise levels and the ability to drive with zero CO2 emissions are also crucial considerations. The introduction of the eActros addresses these key factors, providing the most practical solutions and offering robust support to the transportation industry in its pursuit of sustainability and carbon neutrality.
To complement the electric powertrain, the eActros is equipped with a truly responsive 2-speed transmission, simplifying the driving and operation processes, reducing stress for drivers, and ultimately enhancing work efficiency.
Mercedes-Benz has also incorporated several acclaimed electric vehicle core technologies and safety features into the standard specifications of the eActros, including the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive, AVAS (Acoustic Vehicle Alerting System), Lane Keep Assist, and fifth-generation Active Brake Assist emergency braking system, MirrorCam rearview mirror system (optional), among others. The Most Environmentally Friendly Low-Floor Urban Truck, the eEconic With zero exhaust emissions and exceptionally quiet operation, the eEconic is especially well-suited for nighttime operations and areas with strict restrictions on exhaust emissions. The high-performance lithium-ion battery can seamlessly integrate with a 160 kW charging system, recharging up to 20%-80% of its capacity in approximately 75 minutes, making it perfect for urban applications that require multiple stops along the route. eEconic sets itself apart with the utilization of Econic series’ DirectVision low-floor cabin, significantly reducing physical demands for onboard personnel and enhancing overall driving safety and occupational health effectiveness.
