Special vehicles for your industry

Your vehicles for airport infrastructure.

From logistics to winter service: keeping the airport running.

Ready for your mission

Preparing airports for take-offs.

Catering, refuelling, winter service, cleaning: there are innumerable tasks to be done at an airport, in an environment with highly complex operations, stringent security measures and a detailed schedule. Mercedes‑Benz Trucks offers you the right vehicle for each job – for a smooth process at the airport. 

For planes and helicopters to stay on schedule, they need to be refuelled quickly and safely between flights. Mercedes-Benz trucks ensure that you have the right support for this task. They are characterised by high levels of manoeuvrability and a high payload, so you can effortlessly transport the right amount of jet fuel for the airport across the apron. The Econic's low design height also allows you to drive underneath the wing. So you can simply fly through your tasks.

Flexible bodies on a reliable basis.

With the various equipment options, you are well equipped for your missions. The following Mercedes‑Benz trucks form your basis for this.

Econic and eECONIC.

The panoramic windscreen and the glazed folding door of the Econic allow you and your team to keep an eye on what is happening on the runway or apron.

Either with a powerful tried-and-tested diesel drive or quiet and locally CO2‑free when driving in the all-electric variant.
