This 2023 Mercedes garbage truck — also commonly referred to as a refuse collection vehicle — is a rear-loading municipal waste compactor built to collect and compact household and commercial waste for transfer to disposal or recycling facilities. Mercedes is a globally recognised manufacturer supplying commercial vehicles across a wide range of industries, including waste management, construction, and logistics.
The bodywork is a Terberg RosRoca Olympus 21W unit offering a 21 m³ compaction body capacity. It is compatible with multiple bin-lifting standards, including DIN, Kam, Geesink, and ETB, making it suitable for a wide variety of container types and local authority configurations. A Welvaarts weighing system is integrated, allowing on-board recording of collection weights directly during the round — a feature increasingly required for route efficiency and billing purposes.
The chassis runs on three axles. The front axle carries a maximum axle load of 8,000 kg and is a steered axle. The first rear axle is fitted with a differential lock, hub reduction, and carries a maximum axle load of 11,500 kg. The second rear axle also steers and has a maximum axle load of 7,500 kg. The rear suspension is air suspension, contributing to ride quality and load stability. Tyres are sized 315/80 22.5 and fitted in twin configuration on the rear. Drive is to two wheels. The transmission is an Allison automatic, well regarded in municipal and refuse applications for its smooth power delivery in stop-start conditions.
The cab is a day cab seating three occupants, with two doors. It is equipped with a central armrest, roof hatch, sun visor, electric windows, cruise control, and a camera with monitor to support reversing and operational safety. Warning lights are fitted as standard for road safety during collections. The vehicle is compliant with Euro 6 emissions standards.
