Daimler Commercial Vehicles MENA FZE (DCV MENA) announces the unveiling as well as the availability of Mercedes-Benz Econic trucks across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) territory.
The Mercedes Benz Econic Trucks were initially unveiled in 1998, and the firm claims that the Econic truck fleet has enjoyed significant success in multiple European markets for over two decades due to its safety, efficiency, ergonomics, and reduced impact on the environment.
The firm also added that the Econic is a great choice for airport ground services, municipality, and waste management applications.
DCV MENA adds further that Econic is a versatile low-entry truck designed in response to growing urban areas and the increased demands placed on mobility, logistics, the environment, and quality of life.
DCV MENA claimed that the trucks are efficient, powerful, and reliable, and offer maximum safety for those in the surrounding environment, as well as optimum working conditions for the driver and/or crew. With a choice of engine outputs and transmissions to suit a variety of applications, Econic is an efficient and responsible response to the challenge of increasing global emissions levels.
Olaf Petersen, the General Manager at Daimler Commercial Vehicles MENA stated: “After the success of the Mercedes-Benz Econic worldwide, we are excited to bring it to the region. Since its launch in 1989, it has proven itself as a reliable truck across numerous industries and markets due to its versatility, safety and efficiency. With the MENA launch of the proven Econic, DCV MENA is inviting interested parties to reach out for a demonstration of the vehicle and is pleased to note that production slots are immediately available, thus allowing for short delivery timelines of only a few months.”
DCV MENA further claimed that the Econic commercial trucks have proven themselves time and again to a variety of customers across markets and in different use cases, thanks to the broad versatility of the platform.
Available in 2-axle (4×2 traction) and 3-axle configurations (6×2/4 or 6×4 traction), with wheelbases ranging from 3450mm to 5700mm and permissible gross weights of 18- to 26-tonnes, the Econic can suit a wide range of applications. In a variety of international markets, the Econic is already successfully addressing customer requirements from airports to the public services sector (municipality and waste management). The trucks can also be seen frequently tackling short-radius distribution jobs, construction site transport, and even fire & rescue.
