Daimler Truck delivers first BEV Freightliner eCascadias to customer in Mexico

Daimler Truck North America LLC has delivered the first of two battery-electric Freightliner eCascadias to Transportes Esteban in Mexico.

The electric Class 8 truck, manufactured in Portland, Oregon, will be used in day-to-day plant operations at Daimler Truck Mexico’s truck manufacturing plant (TMP) in Santiago.

Daimler has established two heavy-duty truck charging ports called “Electric Islands” to support the transition. It includes a Detroit eFill charger with a charging capacity of up to 120kW, capable of charging up to 80% of the eCascadia’s battery capacity in 220 minutes. Detroit eFill chargers work with management software for intelligent charging, optimizing energy consumption and integrating vehicle information, stations, and the charging process through a telematics platform.

Since its production start in 2022, the battery-electric Freightliner eCascadia has been delivered to over 50 fleets in North America and covered more than 3.5 million electric miles in real-world customer applications.
