Ebeling Logistik Deploys Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 for Zero-Emission Routes

Ebeling Logistik has taken a step towards sustainable transport by adding a fully electric heavy-duty truck to its fleet. The company, based in Wedemark near Hanover, now operates a Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 on a daily route between Hanover and Dortmund. This move comes as Germany sees a sharp rise in electric truck registrations, with numbers climbing by nearly 38% in 2025 alone.

The new eActros 600 entered regular service in December 2025. With a range of around 500 kilometres and a maximum output of 600 kilowatts, it handles the 200-kilometre stretch between Hanover and Dortmund with ease. The truck's charging needs are met by two high-power stations at Ebeling Logistik's depot—one with 400 kilowatts and another with 200 kilowatts—supplied by Alpitronic.

The depot itself has undergone upgrades to support the electric fleet. A photovoltaic system spanning 15,300 square metres now covers the roofs, generating two megawatts peak (MWp) of power. Plans for further improvements include an energy management system and a battery storage unit. In the long term, the company also aims to make its charging infrastructure available to the public.

This initiative aligns with broader industry trends. In 2025, Germany recorded 1,398 new heavy-duty electric truck registrations, up from 1,014 the previous year—a 37.9% increase. While Ebeling Logistik has not disclosed further expansion plans, the eActros 600 marks a clear milestone in its sustainability efforts.

The introduction of the eActros 600 strengthens Ebeling Logistik's green logistics strategy. The truck's daily operations, supported by on-site renewable energy and fast-charging infrastructure, demonstrate the company's commitment to reducing emissions. With Germany's electric truck market growing rapidly, such investments could set a precedent for wider adoption in the logistics sector.
