The Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 has been named the International Truck of the Year (IToY) 2025, marking only the second time in the award’s 48-year history that a zero-emission truck has claimed this prestigious title.The panel also praised the eActros 600’s powertrain, which utilises twin 400kW electric motors on the e-axle and three LFP battery packs, each with a capacity of 207kWh. This configuration offers smooth acceleration, supports three distinct driving modes, and ensures a quiet, vibration-free driving experience.The truck’s substantial battery capacity—exceeding 600kWh—enables a standard 40-tonne tractor-semitrailer combination to achieve a range of more than 500km on a single charge.


Stuttgart/Hanover – Commercial vehicle journalists from 24 European countries have voted the battery-electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 the International Truck of the Year 2025. The award is the most important prize in the industry. In its rationale, the jury praised the innovative overall technological concept of the heavy-duty long-haul truck, which impressed with its modern drive technology, high energy efficiency, and a range of 500 kilometers2 without intermediate charging as part of the “eActros 600 European Testing Tour 2024” – a more than 15,000-kilometer-long, all-electric development journey through a total of 22 countries, with a gross combination mass

 



The eActros 600 from Mercedes-Benz Trucks has been voted "International Truck of the Year 2025" by a jury of 24 editors and senior journalists from the commercial vehicle press representing 24 of Europe's most important truck magazines.
The prestigious award was presented to Karin Rådström, CEO Mercedes-Benz Trucks, during the IAA Transportation Press Day in Hanover, Germany.
With 88 votes, the German truck manufacturer's heavy-duty battery electric vehicle (BEV) beat stiff competition from Volvo Trucks' Aero range with electric or conventional powertrains and the Iveco S-eWay electric tractor.



According to the International Truck of the Year (IToY) rules, the annual award goes to the Truck launched in the previous 12 months, which makes the most significant contribution to road transport efficiency. The judging is based on a number of critical criteria, including technological innovation, comfort, safety, driveability, energy efficiency, environmental footprint, and total cost of ownership (TCO).


It's the second time an electric truck has won the International Truck of the Year award, which dates back to 1977. In addition, five of the seven vehicles on this year's ITOY shortlist are battery-electric models with zero tailpipe emissions. This is another sign that the energy transition is gaining momentum among truck manufacturers and is attracting the interest of European transport operators.


The numerous IToY journalists who participated in the more than 15,000-kilometre eActros 600 European Testing Tour 2024, organized by Mercedes-Benz Trucks, praised the new ProCabin's advanced aerodynamics. With its protruding front section and smooth, curved surfaces, the ProCabin is designed to improve airflow by 9% compared to the current model.
