Mercedes-Benz Trucks delivers first eActros 600 in Switzerland

Mercedes-Benz Trucks has now handed over the first eActros 600 electric trucks to customers in Switzerland. Twenty transport companies received their initial units during a ceremonial event in Brunnen.

Following the series launch of the eActros 600 at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth in late November 2024, the first deliveries to German customers took place in December 2024. By mid-month, the manufacturer reported successful rollouts of the 40-tonne truck in 15 European countries, including the Netherlands, France, Italy and Belgium.

Switzerland now joins as a new market. Jürg Lüthi, CEO of Daimler Truck Schweiz AG, said: “It quickly became clear to us that this truck is also of great importance for the Swiss market. It was important to us to convince our customers of this vehicle concept at an early stage. We are convinced that the eActros 600 will be a great success in Switzerland and that it is a real game changer for the future of CO₂-neutral transport.”
