* The specified range is provisional and was determined on the basis of an internal simulation tool assuming optimum conditions, including with 3 new battery packs after preconditioning in a partially loaded state in inner-city refuse collection operations (VECTO Municipal Cycle up to 100 km) or in mixed refuse collection operations (combined from VECTO Municipal Cycle, VECTO Regional Delivery and VECTO Urban Delivery Cycle up to 150 km) at 20 °C outside temperature, and may deviate from the values determined in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2017/2400. Among other things, the actual range depends heavily on the handling, usage profile and type of body.
** Nominal capacity of a new battery, based on internally defined framework conditions. This may vary depending on the application and ambient conditions.
*** The eEconic can be charged with up to 160 kW: Based on internally determined empirical values, the three battery packs require just over one hour to be charged from 20 to 80 % under optimal conditions, including an ambient temperature of 20 °C at a standard DC fast charging pole with 400 A charging current.

**** The vehicle height depends on the tyres.

Equipment

Electric engine.

The locally emission-free drive enables free travel in all low-emission zones – and so quietly that the eEconic is allowed to operate at night in many cases.

Series.

  • Engine power (max. / cont.) of 400/330 kW
  • Range up to 100 / 150 km*

 

* The specified range is provisional and was determined on the basis of an internal simulation tool assuming optimum conditions, including with 3 new battery packs after preconditioning in a partially loaded state in inner-city refuse collection operations (VECTO Municipal Cycle up to 100 km) or in mixed refuse collection operations (combined from VECTO Municipal Cycle, VECTO Regional Delivery and VECTO Urban Delivery Cycle up to 150 km) at 20 °C outside temperature. The range is strongly dependent on driving behavior, the application profile and the type of body, among other factors.

 

Charging instead of refueling.

The standardized charging system makes the charging process of the eEconic as simple as possible: Apply the parking brake, connect the CCS Combo 2 plug to the vehicle's charging socket and the charging process can begin. The plug locks automatically.

 

Guaranteed good.

eEconic customers can rely on their vehicle – thanks to a warranty for the e-drive up to 250,000 km mileage or up to the 1,200 charging cycle.

 

Equipment

Brakes.

The eEconic focuses on high road safety and short braking distances by transmitting very high braking torques to the brake discs, which can withstand high thermal loads. Compared with conventional drum brakes, the Special Truck with its self-adjusting, internally ventilated floating caliper disc brakes also achieves a payload gain through lower weight.

Series.

  • Internally ventilated floating caliper disc brakes on all axles, air dryer.
  • Electronic braking system with ABS and ASR
  • Electronic parking brake with hold function

Recovery thanks to recuperation.

The kinetic energy released during braking is converted into electrical energy by electromagnetic induction and fed into the battery.

  • Power steering
  • Height and tilt adjustable multifunction steering wheel
  • Multifunction lever with 3 driving programs
  • Cruise control
  • Central locking system
