Daimler Truck Backs TruckShowX Expo And Drive Day

Daimler Truck will present its zero-emission Mercedes-Benz eActros and Fuso eCanter models at TruckShowX in May, both as an exhibitor and drive day program participant.

The all-electric models feature class-leading technology and are the first electric trucks in Australia to feature e-axles, which save weight and boost efficiency.
