Mercedes-Benz eEconic 

FULLY ELECTRIC IN TOWN AND CITY.

With its fully electric drive system, the eEconic represents the logical development of the trusted Econic and is the perfect vehicle choice for your municipal operations in the urban environment.​

​

Advantages at a glance.

• Short journeys: waste collection vehicles drive an average of 100 km a day in town, which the eEconic can usually cover on just one battery charge¹.
• Clear route plans: having reliably scheduled depot visits makes it easy to provide the appropriate charging infrastructure.
• Overnight charging: working in shifts allows the battery to be gently charged overnight and you can benefit from cheaper off-peak tariffs.
• Regular stop-start traffic: electric motors not only have very good pulling-away dynamics, but also recover energy when braking, which they can use to charge the battery in a process known as recuperation.

​

As powerful as it is quiet and agile.

The eEconic is more powerful than its conventionally driven counterpart because high torque is available equally across the entire engine speed range. And the electric drive has another distinguishing feature: it is significantly quieter than the combustion engine. This benefits drivers and crews as well as residents and pedestrians. There is an upgrade for the driver, too: the Multimedia Cockpit. Its clear layout and user-friendly design enhance the working experience.

At the same time, the eEconic retains all the advantages of its predecessor: it handles exceptionally well and is highly manoeuvrable even under heavy loads. Above all, its wide, heated Thermocontrol windscreen offers the best possible view of the traffic conditions and can help increase safety. All of this is supported by a large number of assistance systems. The low entrance and level cab floor make the vehicle particularly ergonomic.

​

Electrifying drive technology.

Thanks to its 336 kWh* capacity with three battery packs and a range of up to 150 km**, the eEconic is well equipped for every refuse collection trip in single-shift operation. With the ePowertrain, the eEconic boasts a higher engine efficiency with energy recovery when braking compared with conventional diesel drives: perfect for stop-and-go operation in municipal applications. The locally emission-freedrive enables full access to all low-emission zones – so silently that the eEconic can even work at night in many cases. Downtimes for charging processes can be ideally planned for depot stops. At an output of up to 160 kW, the batteries charge from 20 to 80% in just over an hour.***

Comfortable working conditions.

Relief for the crew, high level of safety for all road users: the eEconic continues the successful concept of the Econic with the DirectVision cab. Entry and exit via just two steps saves energy in daily use and the level floor in the cab provides comfortable, safe cross-cab access and thus safe getting out on the side facing away from traffic. The coated and heated Thermocontrol windscreen of the panoramic glazing prevents the windows from fogging up – for a clearer view of the traffic. 

Integrated consulting approach.

We support the path to eMobility: even before the purchase of a battery electric truck, Mercedes-Benz provides support in the transparent evaluation of whether the respective depots and routes are suitable for electrification. What is the right charging infrastructure, which costs are associated with it and what kind of subsidies are available? To ensure that a green fleet pays off, Mercedes-Benz offers elements including suitable financing and a warranty package.

Intuitive multimedia cockpit.​

With the redesigned cockpit, the clearly arranged command centre in the driverʼs cab has been further developed and networked and is now even easier to operate. The driver is continuously supplied with e-related information, such as battery charge level, remaining range as well as current and average energy consumption. 

Outstanding safety concept.​

The tried-and-tested safety assistance systems in the eEconic also assist the driver in complex urban traffic situations and help to protect weaker road users. A wellthought-out safety system also protects the high-voltage components in the event of an accident. 

Modified drive, unmodified concept.

The eEconic combines the usual convincing quality standard from Mercedes-Benz with the new requirements for mobility, logistics, environment and quality of life. Powerful and efficient, it offers drivers and other road users a high level of safety, while its locally emissionfree and silent drive provides sustainable solutions for the increasing environmental pollution in urban centres.

​

A PROVEN SPECIALIST IN MUNICIPAL OPERATIONS.

Direct vision.

The Econic offers a clear view of the traffic conditions and allows the driver to encounter other road users at eye level.

Low-entry concept.

The low entry makes the Econic especially safe and kind to your health.​

Safety assistance systems.

Intelligent systems ensure high levels of safety.

Terms & Conditions

[1] The stated range is a preliminary value and was determined on the basis of company-internal simulation tools. As part of this process, optimum conditions were assumed with: Three new battery packs, following pre-conditioning in partially laden state, in inner-city refuse collection operations (VECTO Municipal Cycle up to 100 km) or in mixed refuse collection operations (combined from VECTO Municipal Cycle, VECTO Regional Delivery and VECTO Urban Delivery Cycle up to 150 km) at 20 °C outside temperature. Among other things, the range is heavily dependent on driving behaviour, the operating profile and type of body.

[2] Rated capacity of a new battery, based on internally defined general conditions. These can vary with the type of use and the ambient conditions.

*Nominal capacity of a new battery, based on internally defined framework conditions. This can vary depending on the application and ambient conditions.

**The stated range is preliminary and was determined based on an internal simulation tool assuming optimal conditions, including three new battery packs (a combination of VECTO municipal cycle, VECTO regional delivery and VECTO urban delivery cycle up to 150 km) at an ambient temperature of 20 °C. Among other things, the range depends heavily on the handling, usage profile and type of body.

***The eEconic can be charged with up to 160 kW: Based on internal experience, the three battery packs need slightly more than one hour to be charged from 20 to 80% if operated under optimum conditions, including an ambient temperature of 20 °C at a conventional DC high-power charging station with 400 A charging current.
