Mercedes-Benz is ready to test its first electric truck on a special track. This is an electrified section of the eWayBW road, where various environmentally friendly vehicles from various manufacturers are tested. Serial production of the Mercedes-Benz eActros truck is scheduled for this year at the plant in Werth. This is a completely electric truck for transporting heavy loads. Real tests of this model began a long time ago, back in July 2019. The transport company Logistik Schmitt, based in the Black Forest, agreed to test the new product. Under her leadership, the car has already managed to cover almost 50,000 km, make more than 5,000 trips and deliver more than 30,000 tons of various cargoes. A little later, at the beginning of 2021, eActros was tested on a special section of the B462 highway. There, a truck drives 250-300 km a day, which is already 100 km more than it was before.

The day is not far off when Daimler Truck AG will begin the first tests of trucks powered by hydrogen. How did the Fuel Cell technology develop and what are its features?

Scheduled tests for hydrogen vehicles at Mercedes-Benz will take place as early as 2023. If everything goes well, then in the second half of this decade we will be able to observe the mass production of such cars. Passenger cars, trucks, as well as public transport will be equipped with Fuel Cell engines. To make this possible, over the past 3 decades, painstaking work has been carried out to improve this technology.

Already in 2022, Volkswagen will show the world a working sample of an unmanned, autonomous car called the Volkswagen ID. BUZZ. This is an electric van that will go on sale by 2025. The long-awaited decision was finally made by the Volkswagen Group Supervisory Board, which approved a modern program for the development of the concept of building autonomous vehicles - Autonomous Driving R&D.

The car Nissan Office Pod was supposed to be shown to the public at the Tokyo Motor Show, which was scheduled for January 15-17, 2021, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the main event was cancelled. However, the organizers did not want to upset the visitors of the exhibition and decided to make it virtual.

It's hard to believe, but 30 years ago, on January 12, 1991, the world first saw the concept of a futuristic car Mercedes-Benz F 100, designed for three passengers. Much has changed since then, but nevertheless, a significant part of the innovations introduced then still went into mass production. Considering this model today, it is hard to believe that this design is 30 years old. And what then seemed fantastic has long become a part of our daily life. Here's how innovations entered our lives:
