Mercedes Econic Trucks for Sale (65)
You’ll always find plenty of used Econics for sale at Truckpages – both those that can enter the ULEZ and older, non-Euro 6 models suitable for less congested environments. The Econic is famous for being a rubbish truck. That doesn’t mean it’s no good – on the contrary – it just means that it has historically been sold for refuse collection duties. The low entry cab and excellent five star all round vision standard sets it out from most other models of truck (perhaps the Dennis Elite aside). We are seeing increasing numbers of Econics fitted with different bodies – especially scaffold bodies and mixers, as they spend most of their lives inside urban environments where direct vision of pedestrians and cyclists is all important. With the Econic you get the quality build and extensive R&D investment that comes from buying the three pointed star.
There are always plenty of used Econics for sale here at Truckpages – make sure you check that the refuse equipment is designed for the job you have in mind. Available as a 4×2, 6×2 or 8×2 the Econic is available with gross vehicle weights of 18, 26 or 32 tonnes. Revised models were introduced in 2006 for Euro 4/5, 2008 for EEV, 2014 for Euro 6, (see detailed timeline below).

Dedicated Mercedes-Benz Econic Refuse Truck Fleet is Complete
Sussex-based waste management specialist The Recycling Partnership has completed its transformation to an all-Mercedes-Benz Econic fleet of 21 refuse collection vehicles, with the arrival of two new chassis from Dealer SAGA Truck & Van.
