Mercedes-Benz Trucks is embarking on an extraordinary project together with content creator and professional truck driver Tobias Wagner. Known across various platforms as the ‘Elektrotrucker’ and followed by more than 160,000 people, Wagner aims to drive once around the world in a long-haul Mercedes‑Benz eActros 600. According to current knowledge, this would be the first circumnavigation of the globe completed with a purely battery-electric truck. The route is expected to cover around 45,000 kilometers across more than 35 countries and requires a maximum of 80 charging stops. The entire expedition is planned to take approximately one year.

Content creator Tobias Wagner, known as “Elektrotrucker,” is presenting his fully completed world travel vehicle for the first time: an eActros 600 with a specially developed motorhome body by Bliss Mobil, with which he plans to embark on a journey around the world this autumn.

The eActros 600 used for the project is a 4x2 flatbed vehicle that rolled off the production line at the Mercedes‑Benz plant in Wörth am Rhein in mid-April. After undergoing various modifications, such as a spare wheel carrier with an integrated mobile charging unit, single tires, and additional headlights at the front, the truck will be fitted with a specially developed motorhome-style body by the company Bliss Mobil, which will serve as the mobile base for the journey.

At Abenteuer & Allrad, visitors could see the completed expedition vehicle for the very first time.

Tobias Wagner plans to start his trip at IAA Transportation in Hanover.
