| Vehicle typee.g. tractor, rigid | Battery-electric tractor unit, long-haul | ↗ |
| Axle configuration4x2, 6x2, 6x4 … | 4x2 | ↗ |
| Gross combination weightTechnically permissible, 4x2 tractor, per Mercedes-Benz. Technical gross vehicle weight 22 t | 44 t | ↗ ↗ |
| Kerb weight, tractorAbout 11.7 t unladen, as Mercedes-Benz gives it for the 4x2 ProCabin tractor. The report derived the same from 42 t minus a 5,940 kg semi-trailer and its 24,360 kg nominal payload | 11700 kg | ↗ |
| Payload, with a standard trailerWith a standard semi-trailer in the EU, per Mercedes-Benz (eActros 400: about 25 t; eActros 600 Lowliner: about 21 t). The report: 24,360 kg nominal, but 21,341 kg when a load filling a 13.6 m semi-trailer is centred, to keep the drive axle under 11,500 kg (a 3 t penalty) | about 22 t | ↗ ↗ |
| Payload if the Council position on 96/53/EC is adopted42 t for 5 axles, 44 t for 6 axles | 24,360: a 5-axle combination stays at 42 t under the Council position kg | ↗ |
| Drive-axle load at maximum payloadMercedes-Benz: technical gross vehicle weight 22 t, with 9 t on the front axle and 13 t on the rear axle, full air suspension. The legal single drive axle limit is 11,500 kg (4x2) | 825 kg over the 11,500 kg limit with the nominal maximum payload centred on a 13.6 m semi-trailer, per the report's modelling kg | ↗ |
