Mercedes-Benz Trucks

 

Mercedes-Benz Trucks is trusted by municipalities everywhere to get the job done. From waste collection to heavy-duty tasks, our lineup - featuring the Econic, Arocs, and Unimog - combines smart innovation with rock-solid reliability.

Safety comes first with the Econic and eEconic, both exceeding GSR2 regulations and equipped as standard with Active Brake Assist 6, Sideguard Assist 2, and Front Guard Assist to protect drivers and vulnerable road users. With a choice of conventional or fully electric drivetrains, they deliver smooth, controlled performance in busy urban environments. Recognised for its innovation in safety and sustainability, the eEconic was named ‘Innovator of the Year’ at the prestigious Fleet Vision International Awards in 2025, reinforcing Mercedes-Benz’s leadership in waste management solutions.

For demanding municipal tasks, the Arocs is built to tackle the toughest jobs with ease. From construction to winter maintenance, its high-torque engines, reinforced chassis, and intelligent drivetrain technology ensure durability and efficiency in every operation. Advanced safety systems provide additional peace of mind, making the Arocs a dependable choice for challenging environments.

And then there’s the Unimog UGE - a true multi-tasker built for year-round versatility. Whether clearing snow or mowing grass, it adapts effortlessly thanks to the new UNI-TOUCH® operating system, which puts intuitive touchscreen and joystick controls at operators’ fingertips. This smart interface makes switching attachments seamless, boosting efficiency across a wide range of municipal applications.

Plus, with our nationwide Dealer network, municipalities benefit from Mercedes-Benz genuine parts and authorised maintenance and repair services, ensuring their vehicles stay in peak condition for every job.
