WEBVTT 00:00:31.746 --> 00:00:33.479 Here we present the Econic Low Entry, 00:00:34.244 --> 00:00:36.564 the low entry vehicle of Mercedes-Benz. 00:00:36.753 --> 00:00:40.124 This precise model uses the natural gas technology 00:00:40.124 --> 00:00:41.699 and that is why we are one this side of the vehicle, 00:00:41.699 --> 00:00:44.133 where you can see the tanks. 00:00:44.782 --> 00:00:47.386 Overall, we have 600 litres standard, 00:00:47.386 --> 00:00:52.288 four tanks on the left side, normally two on the right. 00:00:52.288 --> 00:00:57.391 Due to the special equipment we have additional 100 litres here, so all in all 700 litres. 00:00:57.474 --> 00:00:59.541 The vehicle runs without AdBlue 00:00:59.792 --> 00:01:03.129 so we don't have a SCR filter and also no diesel particulate filter 00:01:03.129 --> 00:01:07.747 and, therefore, a smaller gas box than on the diesel model. 00:01:08.158 --> 00:01:12.624 The vehicle is driven by a 302 PS engine. 00:01:12.624 --> 00:01:15.830 In comparison to the precursor model Euro V, 00:01:15.830 --> 00:01:23.449 we were able to both increase the payload and raise the motor power and revolution speed. 00:01:23.897 --> 00:01:27.344 In general, one produces up to 20 percent less carbon dioxide 00:01:27.344 --> 00:01:31.661 with the gas version of the vehicle than with the diesel model. 00:01:33.921 --> 00:01:39.204 In addition to that, we installed a blind spot camera system on the vehicle. 00:01:39.204 --> 00:01:44.121 We have four cameras and one monitor within the cabin 00:01:44.121 --> 00:01:50.351 that provide an almost 360 degree panorama view. 00:01:51.797 --> 00:01:56.730 In the front, we have a front camera replacing the close-proximity mirror. 00:01:56.770 --> 00:02:00.761 We attached two cameras to the mirror arms 00:02:00.761 --> 00:02:07.116 and one camera to the back of the vehicle. 00:02:07.236 --> 00:02:10.358 With this system that we offer ex factory, 00:02:10.358 --> 00:02:15.445 we improve the very good direct view with an indirect view. 00:02:15.445 --> 00:02:17.757 This means that we make the vehicle safer 00:02:17.757 --> 00:02:20.721 which is, in any case, one of our Mercedes-Benz maxims - 00:02:20.721 --> 00:02:25.788 especially regarding the Econic that is designed for the inner-city traffic. 00:02:36.168 --> 00:02:40.005 This is the overview that the driver sees while standing still. 00:02:40.005 --> 00:02:45.264 The camera pictures that are shown here change depending on the diving situation. 00:02:45.264 --> 00:02:51.957 This means, that if I'm going fast for example to the right, only the right side will be displayed. 00:02:51.957 --> 00:02:58.355 If I'm going backwards, I get the pictures of the side cameras and the back camera. 00:02:58.355 --> 00:03:06.078 So there is an intelligent system that always shows the driver exactly what he needs to see. 00:03:06.082 --> 00:03:13.442 In addition to that, the driver gets to choose every single camera picture individually. 00:03:13.442 --> 00:03:19.007 Therefore there is a pitman arm that the driver can trip. 00:03:19.007 --> 00:03:26.752 Pushing down I see the picture from the back, pulling the pitman arm I see the picture of the front camera, 00:03:26.752 --> 00:03:35.457 pushing down to the left I get the left camera picture and pulling the pitman arm to the rigth I see the right camera picture. 00:03:39.378 --> 00:03:42.884 A further highlight of the Econic that is presented here 00:03:42.884 --> 00:03:45.242 is the new cabin. 00:03:45.242 --> 00:03:47.895 On the one hand, we changed the fitting of the mirrors. 00:03:47.895 --> 00:03:51.074 They are now attached to this area and not to the glass any more. 00:03:51.549 --> 00:03:55.633 This improves the service friendliness. 00:03:55.633 --> 00:03:59.515 Furthermore, we decreased the actuating forces of the door 00:03:59.515 --> 00:04:02.614 so it opens way easier than before. 00:04:03.432 --> 00:04:09.360 And, very important, we now have access angle of about 90 degrees. 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:13.036 So the driver can get into and out of the vehicle in a very comfortable way. 00:04:13.599 --> 00:04:22.629 And there is another improvement regarding the ergonomics for the driver: 00:04:22.629 --> 00:04:26.937 We created a dent in the drive shaft hump 00:04:26.937 --> 00:04:36.941 so that it's easier for the driver to get up and move. 00:04:41.686 --> 00:04:43.034 Isn't that wonderfully quiet? 00:04:43.034 --> 00:04:46.157 That is the future. 00:04:46.157 --> 00:04:50.716 That pleases the residents, but also the operators 00:04:50.716 --> 00:04:56.512 and waste disposal contractors, because they can expand their operating times.
