IAA Transportation is Europe's leading trade fair for logistics, commercial vehicles, and the transport sector — held every two years in Hannover, Germany. Tesla published the European Semi's specifications ahead of the show; the full public launch and in-person debut happen here.
A single Standard Range–equivalent configuration for now — no Long Range EU variant or pricing announced yet. Also includes camera monitor mirrors (no physical side mirrors, legal in the EU since 2016), real headlights instead of a light bar, and up to 25 kW ePTO. Deliveries start in 2027.
- EU pricing — not yet announced
- Long Range EU variant — not yet confirmed to exist
- First launch markets — which countries get it first is unconfirmed
- Build location — Berlin (Giga Berlin) vs. Nevada-built-for-export is unconfirmed
- EU Megacharger map — zero confirmed physical sites in Europe as of this writing
We'll update this box the moment any of these facts land — that's the point of tracking it here instead of a one-time article.
The truck's charging capability is now confirmed (MCS 3.2 standard, same connector as the U.S.) — but no physical Megacharger sites are built or announced in Europe yet. Tesla has already made Semi-focused hires in Munich and France, signaling the network build-out is coming.
Curious how payload, terrain, and temperature affect real-world range? Our interactive range calculator runs the same physics model behind every number on this site — built for U.S. specs today, ready to add EU units the moment European specs are confirmed.
What are the Tesla Semi's European specs?
550 km (342 mi) of range at a full 40-tonne gross combination weight, 1.0 kWh/km efficiency, Megacharger support up to 800 kW (60% recovery in about 30 minutes), a curb weight under 9,100 kg, and up to 25 kW of ePTO. It's a single Standard Range–equivalent configuration for now — no Long Range EU variant or pricing has been announced.
When is the Tesla Semi coming to Europe?
Tesla has officially revealed the European Semi's specifications ahead of its full public launch at IAA Transportation in Hannover, Germany, September 15–20, 2026 (Press Day September 14). Deliveries are set to begin in 2027; an exact date and pricing have not yet been announced.
Will the Tesla Semi specs be different in Europe?
Yes, confirmed. The European Semi is rated in kilometers and kWh/km, runs a heavier 40-tonne gross combination weight than the U.S. truck's 82,000 lb rating, drops physical side mirrors for camera monitor systems (legal in the EU since 2016), and uses real headlights instead of a light bar.
Is Tesla already hiring for the Semi program in Europe?
Yes. Tesla has confirmed Semi-focused hires in Munich, Germany and a dedicated Business Development Manager for the French market, signaling active preparation for a European commercial launch.
