# This electric semi truck will drive ‘around the world in 80 charges’

A German Youtuber who focuses on electric trucking content will drive a Mercedes-Benz eActros around the world, becoming the first to circumnavigate the globe in a heavy duty electric truck.

Tobias Wagner, aka **Elektrotrucker**, makes youtube videos showing what it’s like to drive an electric heavy duty truck around Europe. He quit his previous job to start the channel in late 2024 to educate people about the current state of electric trucking, and show the capabilities and difficulties of doing so.

Almost two years later, the channel has turned mostly towards evangelism, as he has found there are a lot fewer difficulties and a lot more capabilities than people seem to think.

He’s done several challenge drives across Europe or to various difficult environments (cold in Finland, hot in Gibraltar,) to prove that electric trucks are capable and indeed, even better than diesel trucks.
