Range
Electrified efficiency.
Long distance without charging worries: the eActros 600 can cover a range of 500 km without recharging.8 And with its megawatt charging system, it can charge from 20% to 80% in around 30 minutes.7 Its drive system creates extra power. What's more, the lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries don't require nickel or cobalt and offer huge advantages when it comes to both service life and energy flow.
Range
Electrified efficiency.
Drivetrain: full steam ahead.
On uphill gradients or when accelerating: efficient driving requires the right drive power. The new eAxle is specially designed for this purpose. With 400 kW of continuous electric power and a peak output of 600 kW, it powerfully propels the eActros 600 forward and uphill. With 4‑speed transmission technology and the Predictive Powertrain Control system, energy consumption can be reduced by as much as 50% compared with diesel-powered vehicles.
LFP battery: charged for big things.
Sustainable and economical, silent and full of power: With newly developed lithium iron phosphate batteries, the eActros 600 offers you a complete package of excellent features:
- Range: 500 km without recharging1
- Service life of up to 1,200,000 km
- Megawatt charging from 20% to 80% in about 30 minutes2
- Sustainable battery cell design without cobalt or nickel
- Six-year warranty
1 The range has been determined internally under specific test conditions, after preconditioning with a 4x2 semitrailer tractor with a gross vehicle combination weight of 40 t, at an ambient temperature of 20 °C in long-distance operation, and can deviate from the values determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/2400.
2 Based on internal simulations because a binding and universal Megawatt Charging System (MCS) standard is currently still in development.

Life cycle assessment
Up to 80%* less CO2eq emissions.
With the eActros 600, you can reduce your CO2eq footprint. Although it initially records higher CO2eq emissions than a comparable diesel truck in production due to its batteries, break-even is already reached after just over a mileage of 100,000 kilometres if you charge the eActros 600 exclusively with renewable energies. Over its entire life span of around 10 years or 1.2 million kilometres driven from production to the end of its service life, the eActros 600 saves up to 80% CO2eq emissions, depending on the electricity mix.* This is the result of the life cycle assessment – the analysis of the energy balance and the impact on the environment.
If the eActros 600 is charged using fully renewable energies (EU Green Grid Mix**), its CO2eq balance compared to comparable diesel trucks is already offset after just over 100,000 kilometres on the road – and this with an expected service life of around 1.2 million kilometres.
When the eActros 600 is charged using the average electricity mix, including fossil energy sources (EU Grid Mix 2020**), it overtakes comparable diesel trucks after just over 195,000 kilometres and offsets the CO2eq balance since production.
After up to 10 years and up to 1.2 million kilometres, the eActros 600 has fulfilled its service. In doing so, it has not only avoided the CO2eq emissions that comparable diesel trucks would have generated over the same period; the eActros 600 has also saved up to 51% in air and water pollutants throughout its entire life cycle. For example, waters can be protected from excessive algae formation, which is mainly caused by nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorus.
The eActros 600 achieves the highest possible savings if it obtains its power from renewable energies such as biomass or wind, solar and hydro energy throughout its entire truck service life. The EU Green Grid Mix 2020 represents exactly this average electricity supply from 100% renewable energies.
It goes without saying that your truck can also be charge using electricity from sources that include fossil sources in addition to renewable energies. This electricity mix is represented by the EU Grid Mix 2020. Compared to a diesel vehicle, this power mix is also economical.
While the total CO2eq balance of the eActros 600 compensates for a comparable diesel truck using the EU Green Grid Mix 2020 after just over 100,000 kilometres, for the EU Grid Mix 2020 this is the case after around 195,000 kilometres.
* EU Green Grid Mix 2020 – based on a life cycle assessment in accordance with ISO 14040:2006+A1:2020 and ISO 14044:2006+A1:2017+A2:2020 and critically reviewed by an external third party, TÜV Rheinland. The data and assumptions underlying the life cycle assessment, including the specifications for the functional units and methods, have a significant impact on the results. A comparison with other truck models or vehicles is therefore neither intended nor recommended.
