[[New Mombasa Waste Management]] owned these vehicles, operated by the city's [[Superintendent]]. During the [[Covenant]] [[Battle of Mombasa|invasion]] of New Mombasa, [[Vergil]] used one to save [[Sadie Endesha]] from the corrupt [[Kinsler|Commissioner Kinsler]] by slamming it into his [[D77C-NMPD Pelican|Pelican]], then proceeding to dump its cargo of garbage upon him. The Olifant was then used by Sadie and [[Mike Branley]] to move through Covenant-occupied [[New Mombasa]], in an attempt to rescue [[Daniel Endesha|Sadie's father]]. It was later destroyed by a [[Type-26 Wraith|Wraith]] after [[Tom Uberti|a salesman]], who was also hiding in the Olifant, opened the top hatch and attempted to surrender.{{Ref/Reuse|sadie}}

It received heavy damage while escaping along the [[New Mombasa Waterfront Highway]] after being hit by [[Type-47B Scarab|Scarab]]'s [[focus cannon]]. It had the ability to extend [[energy shielding|shields]] while Vergil was inside the Olifant. Due to the damage it received from the Scarab, the vehicle was abandoned outside the [[Uplift Nature Reserve]].<ref name="coastal">''Halo 3: ODST'', campaign level [[Coastal Highway]]</ref>
