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 vehicle that's powerful, efficient and that can also improve safety for all road users. A vehicle that, with its local CO₂‑neutral emissions and quiet drive, also provides sustainable solutions to the rising levels of pollution seen in so many urban areas. The eEconic with a fully battery-electric drive.

Highlights - Made for urban use.
Improved range
Urban refuse collectors cover an average of 100 km a day. With its range of up to 100/150 km*, the eEconic is perfectly equipped for single-shift operation.
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 minutes. So the eEconic is right where it belongs: on the road and not in the depot.
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, the crews start work early in the morning. More peace and quiet in the cab is beneficial to the crews as well.
Safe operation
Avoid accidents at work wherever possible: your employees climb in and out of their vehicles hundreds of times a day and often in dense traffic. Every aspect of the eEconic has been thought out to the last detail to take your workers' needs into account.
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 km* 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.
Safety - 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,
- other components include 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
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. The cameras, sensors and additional lighting systems effectively support your employees in their everyday work.
The following are included as standard:
- Active Brake Assist 6
- Front Guard Assist
- Sideguard Assist 2
- Attention Assist
- Traffic Sign Assist
- Reversing camera
- Rain/light sensor
- Lane Keeping Assist
The following options are available:
- Blind spot camera system
- Adaptive cruise control
- Speed limiting when reversing
- Automatically activated hazard warning lights
- Work lamps
Sideguard Assist 2 supports you when changing lanes or turning and can warn you of dangers. For this purpose, the system monitors the entire driver's side and front passenger side with radar sensors.
Active Brake Assist 6 can detect potential collisions and support you at speeds up to 60 km/h by initiating automated emergency braking if, for example, it detects pedestrians and cyclists in dangerous proximity. The system is based on camera technology as well as additional radar sensors on the headlamps and sides, and can warn you of danger with a three-stage warning.
When stopping and starting on waste-collection jobs, the hazard warning lights signal to other road users: Attention, this lorry is currently working. The eEconic's hazard warning lights can also switch on and off automatically every time the vehicle stops, if so desired.
