The eEconic as a waste disposal vehicle at Zurich airport.
Tight schedules and lots of traffic: an airport is a demanding working environment for vehicles. Here, it's not just reliability that's essential, but also increasingly efficiency and eco-friendliness. That’s where the Mercedes-Benz eEconic comes in. This vehicle is in charge of waste disposal at Zurich airport – where it more than lives up to the task, with its environmental friendliness and the additional comfort it offers drivers.
Efficient and environmentally friendly.
The Mercedes-Benz eEconic has been specially developed for demanding municipal tasks, making it also the ideal refuse collection vehicle for Zurich airport. Here, they have sworn by the Econic for years – and now they're making the switch to the all-electric variant too.
The eEconic's electric drive helps reduce CO₂ emissions and, at the same time, creates a significantly quieter working environment – a major plus point, especially at an airport, a place where lots of people work and spend significant periods of time. In areas away from the runways, such as on the apron or near the terminals, quieter vehicles help create a more pleasant environment. Since service and transport vehicles with traditional combustion engines also create their fair share of noise at airports, the eEconic helps to reduce the level of sound pollution in daily operation.
