FRANKFURT — Daimler Truck AG on Thursday said it had intensified a partnership with Contemporary Amperex Technology, choosing the Chinese battery maker as the supplier for the Mercedes-Benz eActros longhaul electric truck.
The truck is scheduled to be ready for series production in 2024, Daimler Truck said, adding the supply agreement with CATL would go beyond 2030.
The truck maker also struck an agreement with Shell under which the oil major will from 2024 launch heavy-duty hydrogen-refueling stations between the green hydrogen production hubs at the Port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands and in Cologne and Hamburg in Germany.
