By Jim Gibbins - 27th January 2020
Global truck builder, Daimler Trucks of Stuttgart, Germany has announced its next step towards the electrification of its truck range is to be the Mercedes-Benz eEconic. Customer testing of the low-entry eEconic for municipal use will begin in 2021 when selected customers will test the vehicles for their everyday practicality in actual applications. Experience gained from customer testing will flow directly into series production of the eEconic, which is scheduled to start in 2022. The eEconic is based on the eActros electric truck for heavy distribution, which enters series production in 2021.
