The Mercedes-AMG PETRONAS F1 Team is expanding its use of the all-electric Mercedes-Benz Trucks eActros 600 across nine European races in the current Formula 1 season.
The vehicle will operate alongside HVO100-fuelled race and marketing trucks, supporting the transportation of critical race infrastructure while shifting the team’s logistics energy mix away from fossil fuels.
The eActros 600 is expected to travel around 15,000km during the European leg of the championship, which runs through to Madrid in September.
Building on its earlier deployment in 2025, including a pilot at the British Grand Prix, Mercedes is increasing reliance on electric-powered transport across longer distances.
In a first for the sport last season, Mercedes transported its W16 race cars from Brackley in Northamptonshire to Zandvoort using fully electric haulage, demonstrating the viability of battery-powered logistics at scale.
