How HEERO Motors by E-Works Mobility converts the Mercedes Sprinter into an electric masterpiece
HEERO Motors, a young German vehicle brand from Ismaning near Munich, has made it its mission to convert existing commercial vehicles to electric drive and simplify the path to electromobility for companies. The most powerful electric transporter in the world, the HEERO, is an example of how E-Works Mobility increases the performance and efficiency of commercial vehicles. The article takes a closer look at the work of E-Works Mobility and the HEERO E-Transporter.
The transformation of combustion engine vehicles to electric drive
HEERO Motors specializes in converting Mercedes Sprinter to electric drive. This company offers a comprehensive solution that includes a design update in addition to the hardware and software. The price of a diesel-to-electric conversion starts at around 69,000 euros (incorrect information in the original article) for a single vehicle - excluding fleet terms!

Electric transporter with mega performance - the HEERO
The HEERO e-transporter is one of the most powerful electric transporters in the world with 180 kW / 245 HP output and a range of over 400 kilometers. It also impresses with its fast-charging capability of 135 kW charging power, which fills the battery from 20 to 80 percent within 30 minutes. The 180 kW motor allows it to climb slopes even under load in trailer operation (with up to 3.5 t towing capacity!). All Heero commercial vehicles equipped with the specially developed eDrive system deliver this performance.
The vision of E-Works Mobility
The founder of E-Works Mobility, Dominik Ashkar, aims to build resource-efficient, future-proof commercial vehicles. He and all Heero teams develop the drive technology, including hardware, software, electronics, and battery pack, themselves. The development of the Heero eDrive System took about 2.5 years and is constantly being optimized. Designed as a Software-Defined Vehicle, all early Heero buyers also benefit from these improvements.
Conclusion: E-Works Mobility and the HEERO E-Transporter
HEERO Motors by E-Works Mobility is a company that specializes in converting Mercedes Sprinters to electric drives. The HEERO E-Transporter, the most powerful electric transporter in the world, demonstrates how E-Works Mobility increases the performance and efficiency of commercial vehicles. With its fast-charging capability and high performance, the HEERO E-Transporter is an example of the possibilities of electromobility.
Update - HEERO Motors as a bus manufacturer
Since 2024, HEERO Motors has also established itself as a manufacturer of electric low-floor buses. A high-floor model is also available - always based on the proven Mercedes Benz Sprinter. These HEERO buses are now also available as new vehicles, individually equipped and with the proven HEERO eDrive system as an electric drive.
