Although it is still a prototype, technology powertrain of Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck is ready for use in real life.
on Wednesday he made its debut in the city of Stuttgart in Germany the first truck-electric heavy load Mercedes-Benz .
Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck is the first, and so far the only fully electric three-axle truck with a total carrying capacity of 26 tons.

Although it is still a prototype, technology powertrain Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck is ready for use in real life. The Urban eTruck is basically a truck Mercedes-Benz heavy burden sharing three axes without its typical diesel engine. It uses an electric motor at each end of a rear axle originally designed for the hybrid bus Mercedes-Benz Citaro currently markets the brand.
Each of the electric motors generates 167 horsepower and 368 lb.-ft. of torque . The lithium-ion battery consists of three modules located in the center of the frame to protect them from shocks, which can store a combined power of 212 kW . When you need more autonomy you can add more modules. The three modules in the prototype can be loaded between 2 and 3 hours .
Mercedes-Benz says the Urban eTruck will be in production at the beginning of the next decade.
