Mercedes-Benz eActros: electric truck, versions and what to check when buying used
Mercedes-Benz eActros (from 2021) — the electric Mercedes-Benz truck for distribution and regional transport. We look at the versions, technical specs and what to check when buying used.
eActros in brief
eActros — the electric Mercedes-Benz truck that began series production in 2021. It's designed for distribution and regional transport, where routes are predictable and the truck can be charged at base.
The electric truck produces no emissions and is quiet, making it ideal for urban zones with environmental restrictions. Later came the new-generation eActros 600 for longer hauls — but this is a separate version with a limited used market.
Versions
The initial series versions, eActros 300 and eActros 400, differ in battery pack numbers and range. Check specific year documents and truck configuration for exact differences.
Most often, the eActros is offered with 4x2 or 6x2 axles and with box, refrigerated, tank or other bodies — just like standard Mercedes-Benz trucks.
Gearbox and charging
The eActros features an electric axle with electric motors, high-voltage battery packs and an energy recovery (regenerative braking) system. Charging is via fast DC CCS.
Real-world range depends on battery configuration, payload, weather conditions and route. Before buying, ask the seller for detailed data on the specific truck's batteries.
What to check when buying a used eActros
The most important thing is the condition of the high-voltage battery. Request a battery health (SOH) report from the manufacturer or an authorized service center and check if there is a battery warranty and how much is left.
Test the charging: does the truck connect normally to a fast-charging station, and are there any error messages? Check the cooling and heating systems, as batteries require temperature control.
Ensure that all software updates and manufacturer recall work have been completed. Check the brakes, suspension, and tires — an electric truck is heavier due to the batteries.

Names and equipment vary by market and year; we list generally described versions, but check the exact specifications in the documents of the specific truck.
