MUNICH, Oct 1 — Daimler has presented its plans for cleaner emissions-free trucks. The group is aiming to simultaneously develop two technologies: for short distances, it will introduce battery-powered electric trucks, while at the same time turning to fuel-cell technology for longer routes. The Mercedes eActros, which will be the German group's first all-electric truck, is due to go into production in early 2021. The battery-powered vehicle will have a range of around 200 kilometres on a single charge.

For longer routes, Daimler plans to produce a hydrogen-powered truck that makes use of two fuel cells. For the time being, the vehicle called the Mercedes GenH2 is still a paper concept. However, it will pave the way for a future production model with twin tanks for liquid hydrogen, which will be cooled to -253 degrees.
