Safety assistance systems.

The Econic safety concept: protects what is really important.

Narrow streets, pedestrians, children on the way to school, cyclists in the turning lane – in hectic city traffic, every second can count. The Mercedes-Benz Econic makes driving more ergonomic, efficient and safer, even when things get tight. The DirectVision truck has been famed for its comprehensive safety features for many years. This also made it easy to adapt it to the new legal standards of the European General Safety Regulation (GSR) that came into force in July 2024.

Visibility equals safety. And the Econic has the best view of all.

The Econic's vehicle design, with a low seat position and panoramic cab windows, sets new standards in terms of safety and ergonomics. Up to 14 intelligently coordinated safety assistance systems provide the crew with outstanding levels of protection and support when working.

Standard equipment:
• Active Brake Assist 6 (4)
• Frontguard Assist (6)
• Sideguard Assist 2 (2)
• Attention Assist
• Traffic Sign Assist
• Reversing camera (3)
• Rain/light sensor
• Lane Keeping Assist

Optionally available:
Blind spot camera system (1)
• Adaptive cruise control (5)
• Speed limitation when reversing
• Automatically activated hazard warning lights
• Work lamps
• Pre-installed vehicle surround lighting

Please note: the illustrations serve only to visualise the safety assistance systems and are not exactly to scale.

The combination of cameras, sensors and additional lighting systems helps the driver to maintain a clear view even in confusing situations: in busy city traffic, when turning, manoeuvring and reversing or at the end of a traffic jam behind a bend. The Econic turns a good view into a great view and translates responsibility into clever solutions.

The eEconic has met the requirements of the European General Safety Regulation (GSR) since May 2024.
