They are still the exception, but they are becoming more: electric trucks. Aral Pulse is now blocking electric cars from the truck areas at 25 charging stations because the number of electric trucks is increasing. Daimler Truck with the Mercedes-Benz brand has always been one of the protagonists of electromobility in the commercial vehicle sector. Market leadership is also claimed in this field, every second new e-truck has a star, it was said at the presentation of the new E-Actros 400 series, which is derived from the 600 and has a lower weight with only two instead of three battery packs and can therefore transport more. As a tractor in a team with a standard trailer, the 400 has a payload of a good 25 tons. In this respect it is at the same load level as a diesel tractor. However, a 600 in the same configuration is three tons heavier and can therefore tow three tons less.
