Econic’s low cab enables a very low delivery height from catering vehicle to plane, which means that all the more widespread types of aircraft, from the Boeing 737 to the Airbus A380, can be served. This is because a part of the vehicle superstructure is located above the cab, so that the cab’s height is decisive when it comes to delivering to smaller aircraft.

The CO₂ emissions of the gas-fueled engine are around 20 percent lower than those of a diesel engine. When powered by biogas the Econic is CO₂ neutral.

The Mercedes-Benz Econic is equipped with an Allison automatic transmission as standard.
