Euro Commercials, the authorised Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle dealer for South Wales and the South West, has delivered a new Mercedes-Benz Econic to Bridgend County Borough Council, supplied by Municipal Sales Consultant, Max Bemrose.
The Council selected the Mercedes-Benz Econic for its exceptional urban visibility, low-entry design, operational efficiency, and market-leading safety technology — a major priority for municipal and waste management fleets.
Equipped with the latest Mercedes-Benz safety systems, the Econic supplied includes:
These systems work together to deliver outstanding levels of driver awareness and vulnerable road user protection, supporting the Council’s commitment to safer operations across the region.
To maximise operational durability, the Econic chassis has been paired with a robust and proven municipal body from Whale Tankers, creating a highly capable solution for waste, recycling, and environmental services.
Max Bemrose, Municipal Sales Consultant at Euro Commercials, commented:
“Bridgend County Borough Council continue to prioritise fleet safety and efficiency. The Mercedes-Benz Econic, combined with Whale’s dependable bodywork, offers a reliable and future-ready solution for their operations. We’re proud to support their ongoing fleet development.”
Euro Commercials extends thanks to Bridgend County Borough Council, Denzil Calford MILT, and Whale Tankers for their continued partnership.

The Mercedes-Benz Econic was built specifically for busy towns and cities, with its DirectVision low-entry cab giving drivers outstanding visibility — significantly reducing blind spots compared with conventional trucks.
Systems such as ABA6, SideGuard Assist 2, and Front Guard Assist make the Econic one of the safest municipal trucks on the road, designed to protect both drivers and vulnerable road users.
The Mercedes-Benz eEconic offers fully electric municipal operation, designed to meet low-emission zones and sustainability targets while delivering the same ergonomic and operational benefits as the diesel Econic.

The eEconic dramatically reduces noise pollution — ideal for early-morning collection routes in residential areas — while providing smooth, responsive driving.
The Econic’s low cab height reduces the strain on crews getting in and out throughout the day and creates a more comfortable and safe working environment.
Fleet managers across South Wales and the South West are experiencing the benefits of the Econic/eEconic first-hand.
