Tailor-made eMobility

The conversion professionals at Mercedes-Benz Custom Tailored Trucks have once again received a special assignment: an eEconic is needed for the Australian market that does not yet exist. The expansion of e-mobility presents the colleagues in Molsheim with growing challenges – but impossible? Neither this order nor the next ones are impossible, they say.

A clean tomorrow without yesterday's waste

The all-electric Mercedes-Benz eEconic combines future technologies in the fields of sustainability and safety.

As a result, the environmentally friendly waste collection vehicle is now in operation across the entire island.
