Designwerk Low Cab
508 kWh and 200 km at a consumption of 209 kWh per 100 km — the Low Cab is a refuse chassis and its numbers must be read that way.

Buying decision
The EvCompass verdict
The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.
A consumption of 209 kWh per 100 km looks dramatic next to a long-haul tractor, but it describes work where the vehicle stops every few dozen metres and powers a body — here the measure is not kilometres but the number of collection points served. The low entry is a crew-safety requirement, not styling. Built on the Mercedes Econic platform.
Strengths
- A 432 kWh usable battery and 350 kW DC charging give the Low Cab a concrete heavy-body profile.
Weaknesses
- A 200 km range at 209 kWh/100 km shows that this configuration pays for heavy work in energy use.

Research notes
The sources and research notes behind the figures, claims and editorial assessment.
Low-entry municipal/refuse chassis on the Mercedes Econic platform - the current production successor to the Futuricum Collect 26E. Only two battery sets are offered: 381 kWh installed / 324 usable, and 508 / 432 (85 % release rate). GVW up to 28 t, base 6x2R. Designwerk's overview page still shows the Low Cab front render as a placeholder file ('Low-Cab-Front-1136x1136px-platzhalter.jpg'), which I have deliberately not listed as a reference image.
