Video Summary
Here's a summary of the YouTube video review:The electric car being reviewed is the Mercedes eActros 600 tractor-trailer, which is fully loaded at 39.7 tons.
At 88% charge, it has a range of 430 kilometers.
The vehicle's display shows the remaining driving time.
The charging current can be limited to avoid full charges.
It uses lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries that can be fully charged without damage.
Various charging modes are available, including fast charging and pre-conditioning for departure.
The energy flow to the rear axle is displayed during acceleration.
The driver can view performance data such as average consumption and speed.
Warning noises can be amplified for safety.
The camera-based side mirrors swivel with the steering wheel to show the end of the trailer, thus improving visibility around corners.
The distance-control pilot and lane-keeping assist contribute to relaxed driving.
Even fully loaded, the electric truck accelerates well.
Three driving programs exist: Economy, Range and Power. Power mode allows for 600 kilowatts, equivalent to 816 PS. The test driver used Power-mode to accelerate more fully, after having a slower start.
On PPC (Predictive Powertrain Control) routes, the electronics know exactly what's coming in the next 2.5 kilometers, adjusting speed and gear and optimizing travel for mileage and safety. It automatically applies these rules when in green. When the automatic application of PPC isn't working, it is on in the background.
The electric truck drives smoothly. It includes all the assistance systems of a diesel truck. Driving the eActros feels like driving a car.
