The New Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 Has Arrived
Kannegiesser Spedition GmbH is taking another decisive step toward the future: with the Mercedes-Benz eActros 600, we have put our first fully electric vehicle into operation. A milestone that not only modernizes our fleet, but also underscores our clear commitment to sustainable logistics.
A New Chapter in Our Company’s History
Since our founding, Kannegiesser Spedition has stood for reliability, quality, and responsible action. With the eActros 600, we are opening a new chapter. We are proving that modern logistics and environmental responsibility are not at odds, but can go hand in hand.
Our move to electric mobility is not a reaction to trends. It is a deliberate decision for the future of our company, our employees, and the environment.
This eActros is more than a vehicle. It’s a statement. We believe in sustainable logistics and are committed to seeing that vision through.
Technical Highlights of the eActros 600
The Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 is no ordinary electric vehicle. Developed specifically for the demanding world of freight transport, it delivers impressive technical specs:
- Range: up to 500 km on a single charge
- Drive system: 2 electric motors on the rear axle with 400 kW continuous output and 600 kW peak output
- Battery capacity: 621 kWh across three integrated battery packs
- Designed for 1.2 million kilometers of service life over 10 years of operation
These figures make the eActros 600 one of the most capable electric trucks on the market, one that handles the demands of daily operations with ease.
Sustainability as a Corporate Vision
The decision to invest in the eActros 600 is part of a broader strategy at Kannegiesser. We firmly believe that the logistics industry has a central responsibility when it comes to protecting the climate, and electrically powered vehicles are a key piece of that puzzle.
When running on 100% renewable energy, the eActros 600 cuts CO2 emissions by up to 80% compared to a comparable diesel truck. That’s not just a win for the environment; it’s also a tangible benefit for our customers, who are increasingly prioritizing sustainable supply chains.
Beyond its environmental advantages, the vehicle also excels in network transport: the electric motor operates almost silently and emission-free, a clear advantage especially in noise-sensitive delivery areas. Our goal is a daily driving performance of 900 km, achieved through a targeted mid-shift charging stop during ongoing operations. This allows us to make the most of the eActros 600’s range in network transport without disrupting the day’s schedule.
Looking Ahead: The First of Many Steps
For us, the eActros 600 is not a one-off project. It is the starting gun for a sustainable transformation of our entire fleet.
Kannegiesser Spedition remains what it has always been: a reliable partner for its customers. And it is becoming what the future demands: a pioneer in low-emission logistics for the region.
