Mercedes Econic 2629 MUT VarioPress- FKF Zrt.

Here's one of the older units FKF Zrt. runs, a Mercedes Econic 2629 paired with an MUT VarioPress. I'm not completely sure on the exact year of this truck, but I believe it is somewhere between 2005-2010. FKF still has a bunch of these in their fleet, so these trucks are fairly common around Budapest. These trucks seem to serve their purpose well, with a decent tipper speed, and continuously cycling packer, making for a fast and efficient truck overall. Additionally, the "ribbed" VarioPress body and the Econic 2629 go incredibly well together, making for a pretty sweet looking truck in my opinion. This video was filmed in a residential neighborhood, so enjoy the mix of 80L, 120L, and 240L wheelies, as well as 110L tubes, which are still very common in this area. A huge thank you goes out to the crew for allowing me to follow along and record for a little. Enjoy!

@@balazspalfi7958 köszi szépen. Emlékszem hogy mondta hogy a fia látta már a videókat és hogy akarta hogy benne legyen egyikbe. Remelem tetszet nektek!

​@@contracostawastecsinálsz majd zöldhulladékos és lomtalanítós videókat is?

[@contracostawaste]

@@user-ll8uc5eo6h a zöld hulladékot nehéz le videózni, mert azok nagyon gyorsan haladnak és nem mindenhol aknák meg. Lomtalanításról szeretnek majd, csak még nem találtam olyan környéket ahol lett volna mikor ott voltam.

[@user-ll8uc5eo6h]

​@@contracostawaste igen lomtalanítást nem könnyű pont kifogni. Nálunk már 6éve házhozmenő van rendszer van, (de én jobb szerettem a régi mindenki kipakol egyszerre félét 😂😂😂) Meg amit még akartam kérdezni, hogy azt tudod, hogy biohulladékot Pesten milyen autókkal viszik? Ugyanezekkel a ,,hagyományos autókkal vagy speciálisan kialakítottal (Kecskeméten külön vásároltak erre a célra egyet)?

[@contracostawaste]

@@user-ll8uc5eo6h A kertes házaktól Pesten MUT PowerPress és Geesinknorna felépítmény-es autók szedik. Az étel maradékos kukákrol ami már néhány helyen található, annyit tudok hogy egy olyan autóval ürítik ki őket ami ki is mossa a kukákat. Szerintem egy RotoPress lehet, de nem vagyok benne biztos mert még nem láttam.

Otto Tubes on the European tippers they were designed for is a neat sight. More than half the route consists of them based off this footage haha. The "lifters" have an impressive efficiency of hooking on the Tubes given their shape. It can be hard to tell the age of foreign trucks from an American perspective but it's obvious this one's got some age and I'm a fan of the retro cab appearance. Great video!

[@contracostawaste]

@@RecologySpencer Thanks! Glad you enjoyed! I’m a pretty big fan of these older econics as well. They serve their purpose super well.

​@@contracostawaste 2010 körüli autók nem?

[@contracostawaste]

@@user-ll8uc5eo6h Ez az autó igen.

Really cool video 👌

[@kriswinger9391]

Looks alot like the large scale plastic Bruder rear-loader toy garbage packer trucks.

[@WMAC_Master]

the econic fits better in europe imo those otto 2's are neat as well

[@contracostawaste]

Thanks. Yeah it’s strange seeing them in the US for sure. They are good trucks though, at least from a driver point of view.
