Star Truck Korea, the official importer of Mercedes-Benz Trucks in Korea, announced on the 15th that Daimler Truck participated in 'IAA Transportation 2026' held in Hanover, Germany, to unveil next-generation transport solutions commemorating the 130th anniversary of the truck.
The main content unveiled by Daimler Truck includes various powertrain technologies such as battery electric, hydrogen, and high-efficiency diesel, along with advanced safety and digital services. The long-haul large electric truck 'eActros 600' has surpassed a cumulative driving distance of 160 million kilometers since its launch in the European market and recorded approximately 38% market share in the European medium-to-large local zero-emission truck segment.
The newly unveiled 'eActros Lowliner', introduced for the first time this time, offers a driving range of approximately 500 kilometers when fully loaded, based on an 800V electric architecture and LFP batteries. It will be produced at the Burt plant starting from the second quarter of 2027 in Yangsan. The next-generation hydrogen fuel cell truck 'NextGenH2 Truck', based on liquid hydrogen, has secured a driving range of over 1,000 kilometers on a single charge, and approximately 100 initial vehicles are scheduled to be deployed in actual transport operations from the end of 2026.
A notable point is diesel trucks. Daimler Truck unveiled the next-generation diesel powertrain 'Powerliner'. The Powerliner, which integrates engine, transmission, and axle development to achieve up to a 4% fuel saving effect, is equipped with next-generation OM 470 and OM 471 engines and will be applied to all Actros and Arocs models starting from April 2027. This technology is also scheduled to be gradually applied to equivalent models sold in the domestic market.
