Mercedes eActros 600 wins 2025 International Truck of the Year

At the IAA show in Hanover, Germany, the Mercedes eActros 600 was named International Truck of the Year 2025 by a panel of 24 European journalists specializing in commercial vehicles. The German manufacturer's battery-electric vehicle (BEV) won with 88 votes, surpassing Volvo Trucks' FH Aero range and the Iveco S-eWay electric tractor. The award was based on several criteria, including innovation, technology, comfort, safety, drivability, energy efficiency, environmental impact, and total cost of ownership (TCO). This marks the second time an electric truck has claimed the award, following the Volvo eFH in 2024. Notably, five of the seven vehicles shortlisted for 2025 were BEV models, highlighting the accelerating shift toward electric trucks in the industry.
