* Sweden - Rubbish Disposal Powers Mercedes Econic Rubbish Collection

Stockholm,Sweden -Tachoblog -26 Nov 2009: -- The Mercedes-Benz Econic NGT is an environmentally friendly vehicle designed specifically for municipal operations, rubbish collection, and short-range distribution. Thanks to its low-emission drive system it helps to keep inner cities clean and quiet... Operation with biogas is particularly environmentally friendly, because it is CO2-neutral... The biogas used is obtained primarily from sewage sludge disposal systems, although garbage disposal facilities also now serve as a source. The Econic thus costs nearly nothing to drive. In any case, it is completely independent from petroleum, and thus free of the associated emissions and costs. The biogas used is collected in large containers that are then hooked up to gas pumps at filling stations... The Mercedes-Benz Econic’s natural gas drive makes the vehicle’s emissions lower than those allowed by the EEV standard, currently the most stringent in the world. Its engine produces neither CO2 nor particulates and is also extremely quiet. The M 906 LAG natural gas engine generates 205 kW (279 hp) from a displacement of 6.88 liters. Power is transferred by a six-speed automatic transmission... EEV stands for ‘Enhanced Environmentally friendly Vehicle’. (Photo: Mercedes Econic NGT 1)
