This Mercedes 2628 is a used garbage truck — also known as a refuse truck — built for the collection and transport of municipal or industrial waste. Mercedes-Benz is a globally recognised German manufacturer with a long-established presence in commercial vehicles, producing trucks and specialist working vehicles that serve a wide range of industries including waste management, construction, and logistics. This example dates from 2002 and is currently located in France.
The vehicle measures 10,200 mm in length, 2,500 mm in width, and 3,400 mm in height, giving a clear picture of its overall footprint and the access requirements for operation and storage. Power comes from a Mercedes six-cylinder OM 906 LA engine, paired with an Allison automatic gearbox — a combination well regarded in heavy-duty refuse applications for its reliability under the repeated stop-start demands of collection routes. Ride quality and load-carrying stability are supported by pneumatic suspension throughout.
A third liftable axle is fitted, allowing the operator to raise it when the vehicle is running unladen, reducing tyre wear and improving fuel efficiency during empty return journeys. The cab accommodates four seated occupants, making it suitable for a driver and a full crew of collection operatives.
