EconicSD
A PURPOSE-BUILT GARBAGE TRUCK
Leveraging Daimler’s global engineering prowess and generations of hands-on experience, the Freightliner EconicSD™ delivers an accessible, low-entry, safe
and adaptive cabover-engine, or COE, vehicle to the North American market. Combining versatility, ergonomics and convenience, this garbage truck provides
an innovative solution for the North American waste collection industry, packed with practical features to help you get the job done, day in and day out.
TURNS ON A DIME
Getting in and out of tight spots in urban and residential areas is essential for waste collection vehicles. This garbage truck makes navigating through
urban areas safer and less stressful. A short wheelbase means superior maneuverability. A low cab design provides a low frame height and center of gravity for enhanced stability.
SAFETY
DESIGNED FOR NEXT-LEVEL SAFETY
From the inside out, this vehicle was designed to bring innovative safety to waste collection.
Detroit Assurance suite of safety systems comes standard on this truck, making the EconicSD the only COE refuse truck in North America that features a
collision mitigation system. The panoramic visibility, low step-in height and ergonomic interior add even more safety features to help make waste collection routes safer.
DETROIT ASSURANCE
With its standard Detroit Assurance suite of systems, panoramic visibility, low step-in height and ergonomic interior, waste collection routes just got safer.
INNOVATIVE LOW-ENTRY CONCEPT
Getting in and out of the cab is much easier, with one step to get in and one more to reach the driver platform. Step-in height is about 19 inches, half the height of
most conventional and COE refuse trucks. A kneeling feature further reduces step-in height of this Freightliner cabover, and a lifting feature improves obstacle clearance.
PANORAMIC VISIBILITY
From the outset of design and engineering phases, enhancing visibility for drivers was prioritized. A panoramic windshield, coupled with a lower seat orientation, maximizes
field of vision for work areas and potential blind spots. The mirror system provides superior visibility for operators.
UPTIME
DESIGNED FOR WASTE COLLECTION
If a truck isn't working, it's not making you money. That's why uptime has always been a priority for Freightliner. From design and engineering to quality control and assembly, the
durability of this cabover truck will keep you running strong.
POWERFUL DETROIT DD8 ENGINE
This cabover waste collection truck features a 350 HP DD8™ engine with 1050 lb-ft of torque, variable cam phasing technology for efficient aftertreatment performance and the
longest maintenance intervals in its class. It also features a high-performance engine brake and Detroit Connect Virtual Technician remote diagnostics.
VIRTUAL TECHICIAN
The EconicSD comes standard with Detroit Connect Virtual Technician, a remote diagnostic service that empowers fleets to make fast, informed service decisions by
transmitting data to the experts at the Detroit Customer Support Center. Within minutes, fleet managers know the severity of an issue and the best way to solve it.
