What is it?

Since its introduction, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Panel Van has been hailed as a class leading forward-looking, efficient and reliable mobility solution. The Sprinter is offered in three vehicle lengths, two roof heights and an impressive load compartment volume of up to 15.5 m3. The Sprinter has been designed to attend to your business needs.

Clever packaging

When it comes to practicality, the new Sprinter offers choice. Customers can customise the cargo space to suit their requirements with practical options such as the interior roof rack, a durable plastic floor covering and the loadable wheel arches. The optional pallet support in the step of the sliding door stabilises the load.

Comfort for those long trips

The cockpit features a class leading 360 degree view which makes the driver's everyday life as pleasant as possible. There are also five different driver's seats options available which  allow for various comfort requirements to be met.

Other niceties include innovative telematics which ensure that smartphones can be integrated easily or that the optional multimedia systems can be operated via a touchscreen or even via the multi-functional steering wheel. The cabin also benefits from easy-to-reach stowage areas and a clever multifunction box which provides the ideal workstation.

 

It’s even more fuel efficient

Whilst fuel efficiency has always been a key consideration when purchasing a commercial vehicle. That said, with the current cost of fuel reaching sky-high levels it has become vital for  having a vehicle with fuel-efficiency technologies at the core of its design to keep your business running.

The latest diesel engine Sprinter model achieves low fuel consumption thanks to its demand-based fuel pump control. Other efficiency features include reduced internal friction, optimised pistons and improved belt drive. Another fuel-saving attribute is the gear spread, which has been specially adapted for Mercedes-Benz Sprinters and allows the engine speed to be kept as low as possible in every driving situation.

What’s on offer?

The vehicle is available with an automatic transmission drivetrain, with fully integrated electro-hydraulic gearbox control. This allows for lower fuel consumption, reduced emissions and shifting ease, which helps to lower the engine rpm and increase mileage. The Sprinter Panel Van also offers a choice of diesel engines with three output levels, which combine power and economic efficiency in an exemplary manner.

After-sales benefits

The reliability of the Sprinter speaks for itself and the vehicle’s optional service contract and pricing of parts contribute to a stress-free maintenance experience. Finally, the 2-year unlimited mileage warranty ensures peace of mind, irrespective of how hard the vehicle works.
