What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Remondis Australia began trialing the Mercedes-Benz eEconic 6x2 truck model in Brisbane during August 2026 for commercial waste collection trials. The eEconic technology uses lithium-ion batteries and features an e-axle design that eliminates the need for a traditional driveshaft, resulting in zero exhaust emissions and near-silent operation. The truck also incorporates energy recovery braking to increase efficiency.
