Mercedes' electric truck will hit German roads this year.

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 freight.

Mercedes is currently talking to 20 potential customers to trial its electric truck on German roads this year, according to a Wednesday press release.
