- Ten Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 LS by September — first e-trucks entering service at NexDash's first acquired haulier in Rheinbach
- Goal: expand the electrified fleet to over 20 vehicles by year-end
Berlin, 3 July 2026 — Just weeks after its first acquisition, NexDash, the Berlin-based neo-carrier electrifying European road freight, is beginning its ramp-up to ten battery-electric trucks. The first vehicle was taken over yesterday at the Mercedes-Benz plant in Wörth and is being deployed at the first haulier acquired by NexDash. It is a Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 LS; more vehicles will follow by September, growing the electrified fleet to ten e-trucks from Mercedes-Benz Trucks initially.
By the end of the year, the electrified fleet is set to double and exceed 20 vehicles. For the further ramp-up, NexDash is taking a manufacturer-agnostic approach, relying on the best vehicles available on the market in each case.
NexDash acquires diesel hauliers, electrifies their fleets step by step and runs operations through its own AI platform, NexOS. With the first vehicle, that model is now live in real operations.
About the vehicles: The eActros 600 LS features three LFP battery packs with 621 kWh of nominal capacity, charges via CCS2 at up to 400 kW (around 70 minutes charging time) and offers a payload of roughly 22 tonnes. Mercedes-Benz states a range of around 600 km. Delivery and support for the first vehicles are handled by Daimler Truck Vertrieb Brandenburg.
"A few weeks ago we made the acquisition, this week the first e-truck is on the road. That speed is the core of our model. More vehicles follow by September, and we keep building out the fleet consistently," says Michael Cassau, Founder and CEO of NexDash.
"A great success for everyone involved. Only half a year passed from our first conversation to handing over the first eActros 600. We're proud to be part of this forward-looking business model and to see electromobility in road freight put into practice," says René Rudelt, Center Manager of the Mercedes-Benz Berlin-Brandenburg Commercial Vehicle Center at Daimler Truck AG.
Forward-looking statements regarding fleet size and timing reflect current expectations and are not a guarantee of future developments.
