Refurbishing high-voltage batteries FOR ELECTRIC TRUCKS

Mercedes-Benz Trucks employs “like-new” reworked batteries to expand its spare parts portfolio and to inform future battery designs that are more sustainable.

Remanufacturing engines for medium- and heavy-duty trucks is nothing new to the industry. Reworking high-voltage batteries for reuse in electric trucks is a newer practice. Used batteries are often recycled or find a second life in stationary energy storage systems. Mercedes-Benz Trucks is all in on the approach, launching the new reworked CB400 battery for first-generation eActros 300/400 and eEconic trucks.

The so-called “Genuine Reworked Batteries” offer a resource-efficient and economically attractive alternative to brand-new replacement batteries, the manufacturer says, providing customers with like-new quality, tested safety and full functionality.
