Daimler / Süddeutsche Zeitung

German car manufacturer Daimler has presented its first prototype for an electric transporter. The 26-tonne truck will have a range of 200 km on one battery charge and is envisaged to be used to transport goods into city centers. Daimler wants to start producing the “Urban eTruck” on a large scale by the beginning of the next decade, write Thomas Fromm and Max Hägler for Süddeutsche Zeitung.
