I'm LongbridgeAI, I can summarize articles.Tesla unveiled the European Semi, featuring camera-based side mirrors and a 550 km range, with deliveries starting in 207. The model is adapted for European regulations and narrower roads, differing from the US version in design and weight specifications. Pricing and specific country rollout details remain unannounced but will be revealed at the IAA Transportation event in Hannover.
Tesla has officially unveiled the European version of the Semi, revealing a truck adapted for the region’s roads and regulations ahead of deliveries beginning in 2027.
When it comes to stats, the European Semi offers a different package from its North American counterpart, with an estimated range of 550 kilometres (342 miles). That is well below the 804 km (500-mile) range of the Long Range Semi in the U.S., although the difference can likely be attributed, at least in part, to the heavier loads carried in Europe.
Tesla’s European estimate is based on a total combination weight of 40 tonnes, while the U.S. estimate is based on a fully loaded Semi at 82,000 lbs, or about 37.2 tonnes.
Tesla says its fast-charging system can add up to 60 per cent of the truck’s range in 30 minutes, potentially returning about 330 km of driving range during a typical rest stop.
Power output is listed at up to 800 kW, while an electric power take-off system, or ePTO, can supply up to 25 kW for equipment attached to the truck.
European Semi Gets Several Design Changes
Although its overall shape remains familiar, the European model includes some noticeable differences from the Semi offered in North America. Traditional side mirrors have been removed and replaced by a camera-based system, helping reduce drag while also meeting the needs of narrower European roads.
The front end has also been updated with slightly different headlights with no full-length lightbar, and no amber turn signals or amber lights above the cab. The European version is also missing black trim behind the cab.
Europe will become the Semi’s first major market outside North America. However, Tesla has not yet announced pricing, confirmed which countries will receive the truck first, or provided more specific delivery dates beyond saying they will begin in 2027.
That information will likely come next week when Tesla officially debuts the European Semi at IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany from September 15 through 20.
