On the eve of this year's IAA Commercial Vehicles, the biggest trade fair of its kind, Daimler is presenting its vision of the urban transport of the future in the middle of Hannover. The world's biggest manufacturer of commercial vehicles will make the transportation of goods and persons free of emissions in the future. To that end, Daimler Trucks today celebrated, among other things, the world premiere of the Urban eTruck from Mercedes-Benz. This locally emission-free 26-tonner for heavy-duty distribution transport has a range of approximately 200 kilometers. Market launch could be early in the next decade. As early as 2018, Mercedes-Benz Vans will launch a series-production van with electric drive. Mercedes-Benz previously announced series production of an electric city bus. In order to make the transportation of goods and persons by road more economical, Daimler is giving its commercial vehicles full connectivity and offering extensive digital solutions for all parties involved in transportation.
