Daimler has finally started producing its flagship medium-duty electric truck, the Freightliner eM2<\/ins><\/a>, in its manufacturing plant in Portland, Oregon. The company didn't say when its first production units will be available but once they are complete, the vehicles will be delivered to select commercial leasing companies in the US and Canada.<\/p>\n

The eM2 is powered by a battery-electric Detroit ePowertrain and is designed with 2-speed transmissions that minimize energy cost per mile. The truck\u2019s driving range will depend on the battery capacity per model. The class 6 single-motor version that has a 194 kWh battery can drive up to 180 miles on a single charge. Alternatively, the class 7 dual-motor which is equipped with a 291 kWh battery can drive up to 250 miles on a single charge.<\/p>\n

The Freightliner eM2 electric delivery truck, which has been in the works since 2019<\/ins><\/a>, was able to be recharged to 200 miles in 60 minutes<\/ins><\/a> during testing with Penske. But that test was four years ago, and the company didn\u2019t say anything about recharge times in today\u2019s news. Access to charging stations, like the ones being developed by Penske<\/ins><\/a>, will be essential for Daimler\u2019s rollout of the eM2. In a similar regard, Volvo, which contends against Daimler in the EV long-haul trucking space, has been focused on improving the battery ranges<\/ins><\/a> of vehicles in its truck fleet. The Volvo FE electric truck, which competes against the eM2, has a range of up to 170 miles and is expected to be out for deliveries in autumn of this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
