Daimler Commercial Vehicles MENA (DCV MENA) has delivered the first Mercedes-Benz eEconic collection truck to BEEAH Group, a leading entity in sustainability and waste management in the Middle East.
This landmark event follows the recent Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed at the BEEAH Headquarters in Sharjah.
The eEconic, a zero-emission vehicle tailored for urban waste management, was officially handed over by Emirates Motor Company Commercial Vehicles (EMC CV), DCV MENA’s authorised General Distributor in Abu Dhabi. This addition to BEEAH’s extensive fleet of over 2,000 waste collection vehicles showcases a leap in efficiency, safety, and environmental performance.
BEEAH has previously committed to being oneof the first companies anywhere in the world to purchasing the Tesla Semi in 2018. With that truck still awaiting its formal debut in the market, the acquisition of the eEconic aligns with BEEAHs on-going commitment to decarbonising its fleet operations in the UAE, Egypt, and KSA.
It also reflects the organisation’s goal to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040 across its operations.
The delivery signifies a broader collaboration between DCV MENA and BEEAH, aiming to combine their strengths and expertise in developing innovative, society and environment-friendly solutions.
“We are excited to announce our partnership with BEEAH,” expressed Kay-Wolf Ahlden, President & CEO, DCV MENA FZE. “This MoU reflects our dedication to innovation, environmental responsibility, and shaping the future of mobility. By merging our commercial vehicle expertise with BEEAH’s sustainable waste management solutions, we anticipate creating a more efficient, greener, and smarter future.”
Bilal Al Ribi, General Manager of EMC CV, commented, “Handing over the region’s first Mercedes-Benz eEconic to BEEAH marks a pivotal moment in our partnership. We are grateful for BEEAH’s trust and look forward to furthering our collaborative efforts in developing customer and environmentally friendly innovations.”
The eEconic features advanced technology like the DirectVision cab with panoramic glazing and safety assistance systems, prioritizing driver and community safety. This aligns with BEEAH’s vision to enhance its services as it expands operations.
Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of BEEAH, stated, “Receiving the first Mercedes-Benz eEconic in the MENA region marks a proud moment for us. It perfectly fits our goal of creating zero-waste societies with a digitally enabled fleet. The eEconic’s zero-emission drive and safety features will boost our sustainable waste management services. We are eager to continue our collaboration with Daimler Commercial Vehicles MENA and Emirates Motor Company to further reduce transport-related emissions and support the UAE’s sustainability goals.”
