engineers tested the battery thermal management, fast charging, and the functionality of the air conditioning at high temperatures in the latest pre-production trial.
The battery consists of lithium-iron phosphate cells which provide longevity and more usable energy, as per Mercedes-Benz. The brand also claims that the truck can charge from 20 to 80 percent in 30 minutes using a one-megawatt charger. Propelling this massive truck is an e-axle with two motors generating a peak output of 815 horsepower.

Dr. Konrad Götz, the deputy head of global testing at Mercedes-Benz Trucks said,"We have subjected the eActros 600 to rigorous testing procedures since last year. After winter testing in Finland in freezing cold temperatures down to minus 25 degrees Celsius and initial tests on public roads, the electric truck now had to prove itself at over 40 degrees Celsius in Spain. The eActros 600 mastered the challenging tests with ease.
