Tesla said its Semi electric truck will enter the European market with customer deliveries beginning in 2027, marking the company’s expansion into a region where established manufacturers already offer battery-electric heavy-duty trucks. The announcement came at the IAA Transportation exhibition in Hannover, Germany, alongside dedicated regional webpages detailing the vehicle’s specifications and technology. The European version is listed with up to 550 kilometers of range at a 40-tonne gross combination weight, energy consumption of about 1 kilowatt-hour per kilometer and an unladen weight of approximately 9,100 kilograms. Tesla says its Megacharger network can restore about 60% of the battery in 30 minutes at charging rates of up to 800 kilowatts. The truck also provides 25 kilowatts of electric power take-off, route-optimized charging schedules and specialized service facilities. Tesla unveiled the Semi in 2017, began limited U.S. deliveries including to PepsiCo in late 2022, and is now targeting full-scale production in 2026 after delays linked to battery supply and passenger-vehicle priorities. Pilot vehicles have accumulated more than 13.5 million miles, with reported real-world consumption of 1.55 to 1.7 kilowatt-hours per mile. Tesla estimates operating costs are about 50% below diesel trucks in high-fuel-cost regions such as California and about 20% lower on a national average basis. TSLA shares rose 0.52% after the announcement, while analysts held a consensus Hold rating based on 11 Buy, 12 Hold and three Sell recommendations, with an average price target of $377.08 and implied upside of 3.18%.
