A fresh boost.

Chemnitz modernises its fleet: eleven Mercedes-Benz Econic vehicles in waste disposal operations across the city.

In Chemnitz, eleven more Mercedes-Benz Econic vehicles will soon be ruling the roads - and that is no coincidence. The city relies on innovation in its waste management processes. The latest vehicle handover is a testament to how the city's municipal cleaning service is constantly modernising its fleet. And they have chosen just the right vehicle for the job: the Mercedes-Benz Econic is a true all-rounder. With its low entry height and excellent all-round visibility, it is ideal for dense city traffic. The new arrivals to the fleet serve to strengthen the long-standing partnership with Daimler Truck.

An expanding fleet.

The new Econic vehicles impress when it comes to both technology and employee working conditions. Proven strengths, such as the low entry, are a decisive advantage here: there is less physical strain on crew members when getting in and out frequently - and less risk of injury. This is a clear plus when it comes to getting heavy physical work done quickly and safely in an urban environment.

The modern Mercedes-Benz Econic vehicles are used in Chemnitz as rear loaders with compactor bodies from various manufacturers. The pivotal factor: These vehicles serve as a fresh boost in urban waste disposal processes and ensure that the municipal cleaning services continue to master daily challenges with flying colours.

The Econic has proven itself in daily use with us over many years.

An eye on everything.

What really sets the Mercedes-Benz Econic apart is its combination of safety and comfort. The panoramic glazing and state-of-the-art assistance systems such as cameras and reversing assistants ensure excellent visibility in urban traffic. This allows drivers to navigate even in narrow streets and areas with heavy traffic. The perfect symbiosis of state-of-the-art technology and comfort ensures that Chemnitz municipal cleaning services not only work efficiently, but also support the safety of staff members and other road users.

20 years and still going strong!

Chemnitz municipal cleaning services have been relying on Daimler Truck vehicles for more than 20 years – and the Mercedes-Benz Econic has proven to be a vehicle they can truly count on. This long-standing partnership is now taking another step into the future.

“The cooperation with Daimler Truck has proven to be very valuable to us time and again”, says Sven Postel, head of Waste Management and Municipal Cleaning Services in Chemnitz.

The new Econic vehicles offer us exactly what we need for urban operations: high levels of flexibility, low entry height and top safety equipment.
