Mercedes normally designs the truck to travel about 310 miles under specific fully loaded long-haul test conditions. ## Expedition vehicle modifications The motorhome uses single rear tires, expedition equipment, and a custom living module to reduce weight and rolling resistance compared to freight configurations. > Wagner's expedition truck has a very different job. Instead of pulling a heavily loaded commercial trailer, it carries a custom living module. Mercedes also modified the truck with single rear tires and expedition equipment. ## 621-mile range feasibility Wagner and Mercedes believe the lighter setup and careful hypermiling could achieve 621 miles per charge, though real-world results depend on road conditions and terrain. > Wagner and Mercedes believe the lighter expedition setup, combined with careful hypermiling, could potentially travel as far as 621 miles on a single charge. ## Charging infrastructure challenges The trip crosses regions with limited high-powered truck charging, including Central and East Asia, Australia, and Latin America, where extended range is critical. > The expedition will cross regions where high-powered truck charging remains difficult to find. The latest route includes Central and East Asia, Australia, the United States and several countries in Latin America. ## Charging solutions for global travel The motorhome includes CCS2 fast charging at up to 400 kW, Megawatt Charging System technology, and Alpitronic DC charging for low-power situations. > The eActros 600 supports CCS2 fast charging at up to 400 kW. Mercedes says that level of charging can take the battery from 10% to 80% in about 70 minutes under its specified conditions. ## Living module features The 13-foot Bliss Mobil module includes a U-shaped dining area, kitchen, bathroom, drop-down bed, and solar-powered systems for water and electricity. > Bliss Mobil added a roughly 13-foot expedition module behind the cab. Inside, Wagner gets a U-shaped dining area along with a kitchen. A bathroom sits toward the rear. ## Motorcycle backup option A Honda WN7 electric motorcycle with a 9.3-kWh battery and 67 horsepower is mounted on the back for use when roads become too narrow. > A motorcycle carrier on the back holds a Honda WN7 electric motorcycle. When the road becomes too tight for the eActros, Wagner can leave the motorhome behind and continue on two wheels. ## Total cost of vehicle The custom electric motorhome costs approximately $796,600 including tax, excluding the Honda electric motorcycle. > The total is approximately $796,600 including tax based on the exchange rate used at the time. Call it nearly $800,000. ## Trip start date and route Wagner departs from IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany, on Sunday, Sept. 20, aiming to complete the trip in about a year. > Mercedes-Benz Trucks says Wagner will officially depart from IAA Transportation 2026 in Hanover, Germany, on Sunday, Sept. 20. ## Real-world implications The trip tests how electric trucking technology performs beyond standard European freight routes, potentially informing future EV range and charging solutions. > If the eActros can consistently travel well beyond its standard commercial range, engineers will get another example of how vehicle weight and driving technique can change battery performance. ## What this means for EVs The journey highlights the importance of reliable charging infrastructure and battery performance in real-world conditions for electric vehicles. > Range is only part of the EV equation. Reliable charging becomes even more important when you leave major highways or travel through areas with limited infrastructure. ## Key takeaway Tobias Wagner plans a 28,000-mile global trip in a custom electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 motorhome, targeting 621 miles between charges with no more than 80 charging stops.
