BERLIN—Daimler Truck, the world’s largest truck and bus maker, expects only a moderate market ramp-up of its first electric truck model, eActros, due to its high price, the sales head of Daimler’s brand Mercedes-Benz Trucks said.
The cost of an electric truck is three times as much as one with a combustion engine, Andreas von Wallfeld, told an event to present the model on Wednesday, mainly due to battery costs.
