A Hands-On Experience with Innovation and Performance: Mercedes-Benz Trucks Live at the 2025 Nürburgring Truck Grand Prix
From July 11 to 13, 2025, the world-famous Nürburgring racetrack in Germany will transform into a high-energy hub for commercial vehicle fans, industry professionals, and motorsport enthusiasts alike. Mercedes-Benz Trucks is set to be a major highlight of this year’s Benz Trucks Grand Prix, one of the largest truck-centered events in Europe, offering visitors an immersive and interactive brand experience. With more than 500 square meters of exhibition space located in the heart of the paddock, Mercedes-Benz Trucks will showcase its latest technological innovations, high-performance vehicles, and future-oriented solutions under the banner of sustainability, efficiency, and driver-focused design.
The centerpiece of the brand’s presence at the event is a curated lineup of flagship models that embody the evolution of commercial transport. From cutting-edge electric mobility to rugged off-road engineering, the display is designed to reflect the full spectrum of capabilities and applications that define the Mercedes-Benz Trucks portfolio in 2025.
Pioneering the Electric Future: The Mercedes-Benz eActros 600
Standing proudly at the forefront of the Mercedes-Benz exhibit is the eActros 600, the brand’s newest and most advanced battery-electric truck for long-haul transport. Unveiled to great acclaim, this vehicle represents a bold leap into the decarbonized future of logistics. Developed with sustainability and operational efficiency at its core, the eActros 600 offers a remarkable range of approximately 500 kilometers on a single battery charge—achieved without the need for intermediate recharging under typical conditions.
Built for performance and reliability, the eActros 600 began series production in November 2024 at the Wörth am Rhein production facility, a plant Benz Trucks recognized for its commitment to innovation and quality. Just one month later, in December, the first units rolled out to customers across Europe.
The truck has since undergone rigorous real-world testing across diverse European landscapes, covering thousands of kilometers and facing every possible scenario in long-distance haulage. These tests validated its capabilities under both ideal and demanding conditions, reinforcing confidence in its performance. As a result, the eActros 600 earned the prestigious title of “International Truck of the Year 2025”, a recognition bestowed by a jury of 24 respected commercial vehicle journalists from across Europe under the International Truck of the Year (IToY) organization.
This recognition not only acknowledges the vehicle’s contribution to innovation in transport but also underlines Mercedes-Benz Trucks’ commitment to enabling a more sustainable and energy-efficient future for the logistics sector.
Comfort Meets Cutting-Edge Efficiency: The Actros L with ProCabin
Alongside the eActros 600, Mercedes-Benz will present its newly optimized Actros L, featuring the distinctive ProCabin, an aerodynamically enhanced driver’s cabin that blends form, function, and sophistication. With a redesigned front end that extends 80 millimeters beyond the previous version, the ProCabin is more than a stylistic evolution—it represents a tangible improvement in aerodynamic efficiency and fuel consumption.
Thanks to this smart reengineering and accompanying design refinements, the Actros L with ProCabin boasts fuel savings of up to 3% when compared to earlier models, contributing directly to lower operating costs and reduced environmental impact for fleet operators.
Inside, the ProCabin transforms the driver’s environment into a refined workspace and living area. Features such as the Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2, equipped with advanced voice control, and premium-grade ambient lighting, combine to elevate the overall driving experience. Comfort is prioritized through amenities like upgraded sleeping accommodations, smart climate control, and intuitive driver interfaces.
In terms of safety, the truck includes state-of-the-art systems like Active Brake Assist 6, which enhances emergency braking response, and Active Sideguard Assist 2, which helps detect pedestrians and cyclists in blind spots—especially critical in urban and mixed-traffic environments.
This new generation Actros L thus redefines expectations for both efficiency and driver satisfaction, reinforcing Mercedes-Benz’s reputation as a leader in intelligent truck design.
Rugged Performance for Construction: The Arocs Extent Tipper Special Model
For those interested in robust utility and heavy-duty applications, the Mercedes-Benz Arocs Extent will be a particular draw. This exclusive special model, limited to just 100 units, is built for the demands of the construction and off-road sector.
Engineered with durability and strength at its core, the Arocs Extent is equipped with high-performance Euro VI engines and features the latest Multimedia Cockpit Interactive 2 for optimized driver control. A suite of enhancements makes this vehicle especially well-suited for rugged terrain, ensuring stability, power, and reliability even in the harshest job site environments.
From its striking exterior Benz Trucks design to its finely tuned mechanical systems, the Arocs Extent is a clear statement of engineering excellence. Whether hauling aggregates, navigating construction zones, or operating in remote locations, it delivers unwavering performance that professionals in the construction industry can rely on.
