Testing of the truck on public roads will make up part of the eWayBW project which will include comparative tests of the purely battery-electric Mercedes-Benz eActros with the catenary trucks and fuel cell trucks from other manufacturers.
The first series-produced GenH2 Truck are expected to be handed over to customers starting in 2027 and additionally, has the ambition to offer only new vehicles that are carbon-neutral in driving operation in Europe, Japan and North America by 2039.
