The Econic. Taking responsibility.

Ergonomics and safety.

Good work starts with a comfortable workplace. And that’s exactly how the Econic has been designed – to provide perfect support to the driver. The low entry is a great example of this: simple entry, comfortable standing room in the cab interior and an inward-opening folding door which allows colleagues to enter and exit the vehicle on the side of the road furthest from the traffic – all of which relieve strain on the driver during their daily work. What’s more, an ergonomic seat, intuitively arranged instruments, a steering wheel with multifunction buttons and a clear dashboard all make for health-conscious working conditions.

Low-entry concept.

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

Direct view.

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

Safety assistance systems.

Intelligent systems ensure maximum safety.

Cab.

The spacious cab offers great freedom of movement and uses a well thought-out design to provide the best working conditions possible.

Drive concept

Low or a high cab. Four different axle variants and wheelbases ranging from 3450 to 5700 mm. The Econic is perfectly suited to the most varied of sectors and tasks. But it wouldn’t be a Mercedes-Benz truck if it didn’t go one step further in the case of specific requirements. Besides the high-quality vehicles manufactured as part of volume series production, complex bodies and individual solutions to suit your everyday tasks can also be obtained from Mercedes-Benz Custom Tailored Trucks (CTT): this might include anything from displacing a single component, right up to highly-complex axle modifications. Order a system built to the same standards as in series production but which completely fulfils your own criteria.
