In September, Mercedes-Benz showed off its all-electric truck in Hannover, Germany at a tradeshow for commercial vehicles. The unveiling came just a few months after Tesla CEO Elon Musk said in his “Master Plan, Part Deux” that Tesla will unveil an electric semi truck in 2017 for hauling cargo.

That may not seem like a ton of mileage, but considering it’s designed for package or cargo delivery within cities, it’s enough to complete a day’s worth of routes.
