Waste management fleet modernization

Overview

Waste management companies in Australia and Colombia are implementing new vehicle technologies to reduce environmental impact.

In Brisbane, REMONDIS Australia has begun commercial trials of the Mercedes-Benz eEconic 6×2, a battery-electric truck designed for zero exhaust emissions. The vehicle uses lithium-ion batteries and an ‘e-axle’ design to enable near-silent operation and energy recovery braking for urban driving.

In Bogotá, the public cleaning service has integrated 45 new Mercedes-Benz Atego 3133 trucks into its waste collection and transport operations. These vehicles utilize the Euro 6 emission standard to reduce nitrogen oxide and particulate matter emissions in high-density areas.
