The new Mercedes eActros 600. Is this the future of road haulage?

Can Mercedes succeed where others have failed?
With the unveiling of their all new fully electric tractor unit, the eActros 600, could this be a glimpse of the future of sustainable haulage?
With a real world, fully loaded (40 tons), range of about 310 miles could this be a viable alternative to diesel? Or is 310 miles just not enough?
For the foreseeable future diesel is king but with Mercedes and other manufactures continuing to make improvements in battery technology and range plus hydrogen fuel cell trucks also gaining traction are diesels days numbered?
What do you thing?
