Mercedes-Benz Trucks tours Germany with EV and diesel range

Mercedes-Benz Trucks will run its eActros & Friends Roadshow 2026 across 24 partner locations in Germany between 7 April and 23 May, presenting battery-electric and conventionally powered trucks to customers and drivers. The tour marks 130 years of Mercedes-Benz truck manufacturing and 30 years of the Actros model line.

The nine-truck convoy will visit cities including Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Munich, Leipzig, Berlin, Bremen and Trier, beginning and ending at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth am Rhein. Visitors can attend test drives, vehicle presentations and expert discussions at each stop.

The electric vehicle (EV) lineup on show includes the eActros 400, available in around 40 variants covering a range of payload and application requirements, the eActros 600, which has been in customer use for more than a year, and the eEconic for waste management and municipal applications. Kögel Trailer GmbH is accompanying the eActros 400 market launch with its e-optimised Kögel Light Plus trailer, developed for use with battery-electric tractor units.

Conventionally powered models featured include the Actros L ProCabin for long-haul operations, the Actros L in multiple configurations, and the Arocs Extent, a limited special edition for construction applications. A custom Actros L ProCabin painted by Hanover-based artist Sven Liesy will also form part of the convoy.

In a statement, Christian Wilz, Chief Executive Officer, Mercedes-Benz Trucks & FUSO Germany, said: “With the eActros & Friends Roadshow, we are bringing our latest trucks directly to our customers and drivers, allowing them to experience the future of transport up close.”
