Mercedes-Benz Trucks eEconic
eEconic In charge for a new era.
Wilsonton QLD
Cities are growing. The demands placed on mobility, logistics, the environment and quality of life are also growing. Our answer to this is a commercial vehicle that meets these requirements. A powerful and efficient vehicle that can also improve safety for all road users. A vehicle that, with its locally CO₂‑neutral emissions and quiet drive, also provides sustainable solutions to the rising levels of pollution evident in so many urban areas. The eEconic with a fully battery-electric drive.
Range Top performance on roads and in alleys.
The eEconic is tailored to the requirements of the waste management industry: its range of up to 100/150 km1 is enough to cover most urban journeys. Energy recovery during braking increases efficiency, making it ideal for stop-and-go driving in urban areas. Together with the ePowertrain electric drive with a maximum output of 400 kW, this gives you great advantages in terms of both efficiency and performance. So it keeps your crews nice and safe – and economical.
ePowertrain drive system technology
Powerful eAxle with two integrated electric motors and two-speed transmission 400 kW max. motor output 89 km/h max. speed Continuous acceleration and smooth driving off in stop-and-go traffic Quiet operation for night-time use
Battery technology
Three battery packs Range of up to 100/150 km1 sufficient for most typical waste disposal trips 160 kW max. charging capacity 336 kWh2 installed battery capacity Charging time of approx. 75 min. (20 to 80% under optimal conditions)3
Side underride guard
The batteries are well-protected in the event of side-on collisions: the standard underride guard with integrated radar sensors for Sideguard Assist improves crash safety.
Mechanical power take-off
The mechanical power take-off makes it easier for bodybuilders to install their bodies on the eEconic. Technical information (at 100% SoC): Peak output: 55 kW for 60 s, mechanical power Continuous output: 31 kW, mechanical power Max. torque: 530 Nm (60 s) Continuous torque: 290 Nm Max. rotational speed: 3,100 rpm Direction of rotation: Anticlockwise as standard (when looking down onto the motor shaft) Max. permissible bending moment: 34.4 Nm
The road in focus.
Good prospects for safety: the eEconic fosters anticipatory and careful driving with its DirectVision cab (panoramic windows for unrestricted visibility). Also used for a better overview: floor-level glazed folding door on the passenger side for a clear view of the pavement, the mirror system with an extended field of vision that includes working areas, blind spots, and the blind spot camera system.
Occupational health and safety at every turn.
The eEconic’s low entry is great news for your vehicle crew. Workers that have to climb in and out of the cab hundreds of times each day to empty rubbish bins will be delighted about the excellent ergonomics and improved safety. And healthy backs, healthy joints and fewer occupational accidents also mean fewer absences. Low entry with just two steps Entry and exit through the folding door on the side of the road furthest away from the traffic Shock-absorbing, full air suspension and raising and lowering functions on both axles
Safety assistance systems Intelligent systems for more safety.
Even the best driver doesn’t always see everything. That’s why the eEconic gives your drivers a helping hand with a host of safety assistants. Cameras, sensors and additional lighting systems effectively support your staff in their everyday work.
Safety Basic
Adaptive cruise control Sideguard Assist 2 Blind spot camera system
Ergonomics Basic
Driver’s comfort suspension seat Second set of controls for folding door on front passenger B pillar Two extra remote control keys Automated lowering of front axle frame
Advice and services PERSONALISED. EVERY TIME.
This means that your truck stays where it earns money for longer: on the road. Individual bookable service contracts, an ample workshop network and Mercedes-Benz Trucks Service24h all help keep your downtimes as short as possible. During maintenance – and even in rare breakdown cases.
Improved range
Urban refuse collectors cover an average of 100 km a day. With its range of up to 100/150 km 1, the eEconic is perfectly equipped for single‑shift operation.
Low noise levels
For quieter towns and cities: the eEconic’s drive system is noticeably quieter than that of waste disposal vehicles with combustion engines. Good news for local residents: after all, crews start work early in the morning. And more peace and quiet in the cab is beneficial to the crews as well.
Fast charging
At night, the eEconic has all the time it needs to charge. But sometimes things have to be done quickly. That’s why the battery charges from 20% to 80% in around 75 minutes2 So the eEconic is right where it belongs: on the road and not in the depot.
Safe operation
Avoid accidents at work wherever possible: your employees climb in and out of their vehicles hundreds of times a day – often in dense traffic. Every aspect of the eEconic has been thought out to the last detail to take your workers’ needs into account.Images and texts may include accessories and special equipment that do not form part of the standard delivery package.

1 The stated range is provisional and has been determined using an internal simulation tool assuming optimal conditions, it includes three new pre-conditioned battery packs used in a partially charged state in urban (VECTO municipal cycle up to 100 km) or mixed (combined VECTO urban cycle, VECTO regional delivery and VECTO urban delivery cycle up to 150 km) collection operations at an outside temperature of 20°C and may differ from the values determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/2400. The actual range depends, e.g. to a large extent on driving behaviour, the application profile and the type of body.
2 The eEconic can be charged with up to 160 kW. The three battery packs need a little longer than one hour to charge from 20 to 80%. This period is, based on elements including internally determined empirical values tested under optimum conditions, such as at a standard 400 A DC rapid charging station and at an ambient temperature of 20°C.
3 Rated capacity of a new battery based on internally defined framework conditions. This can vary depending on the application and environmental conditions. The eEconic can be charged with up to 160 kW. The three battery packs need a little longer than one hour to charge from 20 to 80%. This period is based on elements including internally determined, empirical values tested under optimum conditions, such as at a standard 400 A DC rapid charging station and at an ambient temperature of 20°C.
4 Special equipment.
5 Within the system limits or within physical limits, the system can react to stationary and moving objects or moving pedestrians with partial braking or emergency full-stop braking. In these traffic situations, the driver still remains fully responsible for driving the vehicle safely.
6 For ePowertrain and high-voltage batteries, whichever is reached first. A warranty case for the high-voltage batteries occurs if the state of health falls below 80% under the specified conditions for high-voltage batteries.
