First electric truck for Agrii

Supplied by Midlands Truck & Van, the new eActros 600 – which combines zero-emissions operation with class-leading long-distance performance – is one of the first of its kind to enter service in the UK.

The vehicle was selected after an extensive evaluation programme, including trials under full load on Agrii’s regular routes. With its class-leading 500 km+ range, the eActros 600 was the only electric HGV capable of completing Agrii’s demanding 460 km nightly round trip between its central distribution centre and network of depots on a single charge, with energy to spare.

Based on a typical annual mileage of 60,000 km, the eActros 600 is expected to reduce Agrii’s carbon emissions by around 59 tonnes each year.

Richard Pinnock, Agrii’s national distribution manager, said: “It’s almost unnatural to think a truck that size can be electric and achieve such a distance on one charge. Sustainability is an important issue for the agricultural sector, and adopting our first electric HGV is a crucial step in reducing our environmental impact.”

The distinctive branding was wrapped by Finch signs using Metamark Metaglide vinyl for a premium, durable finish.
