Mercedes-Benz has recently tweaked the Econic, reworking the cab and offering the latest Allison five-speed automatic transmission. A revised grille identifies the new cab, which has a wider
door opening on the passenger side and 9141:41$ new door seals for better weather and sound insulation. Mechanical changes to the chassis include uprating the front axle from 11.5 to 13 tonnes.
The chassis is evadable in 4x2, 6x2, 6x4 and 8x4 versions; at 32 tonnes, the Econic has a 15-tonne payload. The MercedesBenz Euro-4 engine offers either 279hp or 286hp when operating at 26 tonnes.
