On September 21, the Oktoberfest started in Munich, and as every year, the demand for beer is particularly high at this time. A fully electric Mercedes-Benz eActros 600 is contributing to the supply of the festival tents these days and is delivering around 82,000 liters of beer and fresh pretzels to the Wiesn.

The transport service provider Lettl Transporte takes over the nightly beer delivery for the State Brewery Hofbräuhaus in Munich. For this purpose, an eActros 600 with a tank trailer and a volume of 27,500 liters is used. As part of a practical test with the customer, the electric truck sets off on its way to Theresienwiese on three days, each evening after being filled at the brewery. The truck makes stops at four stations at the Hofbräu festival tent to ensure the beer ends up in the right barrels.

In addition to beer delivery, the eActros 600 also ensures the Oktoberfest is supplied with fresh pretzels. The Höflinger and Müller bakery produces pretzels in a specially set-up bakery on the Olympic site near the Wiesn in a two-shift operation to offer them oven-fresh. The traditional company, which already has two eActros 300s in its fleet, used the Mercedes-Benz electric truck with a refrigerated trailer for transporting the baking blanks.

The eActros 600 for long-distance transport celebrated its world premiere at the end of 2023. According to the manufacturer, the high battery capacity of over 600 kilowatt-hours – hence the type designation 600 – as well as a new, particularly efficient electric drive axle, enable a range of 500 kilometers for the electric truck without recharging.
