Purpose-built for sustainable temperature-controlled distribution, the vehicle brings together a fully electric heavy-duty chassis, Ecooltec refrigeration technology, and flexible multi-temperature capability within one integrated solution.
Designed to support the growing demand for zero-emission urban and regional food distribution, the eActros 19T refrigerated rigid demonstrates how operators can transition to battery-electric transport without compromising payload capability, thermal performance or operational flexibility.
The vehicle features a insulated dual-compartment body, developed specifically for temperature-controlled distribution operations, it delivers an efficient load space suitable for a wide range of chilled and frozen delivery requirements.
To maximise operational flexibility, the body incorporates a movable and stowable 50/50 split flexible bulkhead system, allowing operators to adapt compartment layouts to suit daily route requirements. This enables simultaneous chilled and frozen product transportation while helping to maximise vehicle utilisation.
Operational performance has also been carefully considered.
The insulated body features robust thermal construction, helping to support effective temperature retention across demanding delivery operations.
Loading and unloading efficiency is supported by a wide insulated rear shutter door, pallet-width side access door, pull-out cassette step, 1,500kg column tail-lift, integrated side and rear ramps, and a load restraint system. These features are designed to support rapid, safe and efficient product handling while minimising delivery times.
Commenting on the vehicle, David Simm, Key Account Manager Mercedes-Benz Trucks said:
“ This vehicle is a prime example of innovative ideas working together to deliver real-world benefits to the end user. The integration of the Mercedes-Benz Trucks UK Ltd eActros with Solomon Commercials’ advanced refrigerated body and sustainable refrigeration technology creates a solution that meets the demanding requirements of modern cold chain operations.”
