Highlights
- The Urban eTruck offers a driving range of up to 200Km
- The battery offers 330bhp and 1000Nm of torque
- Its modular battery pack can be customised to suit range needs
Let's start with the range then and this electric delivery truck packs in a range of 200 kilometre range in standard trim on a single charge and this is all thanks to the big capacity 212 kilowatt-hour lithium-ion battery. Mercedes-Benz will premiere this vehicle for the future at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show in Hannover, Germany.

Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck Concept Battery Pack
The eTruck comes with a pair of electric motors that are adjacent to the wheel hubs. They produce a total, combined output of 335hp while the pulling power stands at 1,000Nm and according to the folks at Mercedes-Benz, this is immediately available to the driver. Mercedes imagines the truck with a modular battery pack that companies could tailor to their needs. A business would be able to order a smaller battery for shorter delivery routes, or there would be room on the truck to install a second one for added range.

Mercedes-Benz Urban eTruck Concept Front
One look at the Urban eTruck's design and you know that Mercedes-Benz has followed the same route as the Vision Van concept. The gentle curves and the rounded shape are quite a world apart from the usual and traditional angular models. The narrow slits for the headlamps and the stalk-mounted cameras give it a unique design up front. What is also interesting is that the designers have added a front grille, which you would imagine would not be needed because there's no need to cool an engine. The designers have placed a bank of customizable LEDs inside of it which actually gives it a unique touch especially at night.

While the exterior spells futuristic, the cabin isn't any different. There's a mix of old and new but Mercedes-Benz has certainly gone the digital way with the additions of a 12.3-inch screen which provides information like navigation directions, vehicle speed, and the battery's level of charge. There's also a separate tablet gives the driver information about the delivery route.
