SINCE 1995,
the Sprinter has been defining the largest van segment in the most diverse of fields in more than 130 countries. Sales to date in excess of 3.3 million units, the Sprinter is among the top-selling commercial vehicles and is the best-selling vehicle of Mercedes-Benz Vans. Although heavily focused on commercial customers, many #vanlife couples and single travelers that have embraced the ‘van-life' style have also embraced the Mercedes Sprinter. Not only do they last forever, the investment pays for itself, and the luxury that comes with it allows for a trusted vehicle that won't give you mechanic problems.
The adVANce future initiative that was introduced in 2016 plays a huge role in the new Sprinter 2018.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The adVANce future initiative will be making its debut in the new 2018s.
- Internet connection: the Mercedes PRO connect services, the new Sprinter becomes part of the Internet of Things. This will help to simplify fleet control and optimize communication between fleet manager and drivers.
- New 2018 Sprinter made for every use: Body variants, wheelbases, load height, stowage concepts, interior customization and infotainment systems are all adaptable to the specific area of use.
- Electrification of commercial fleets: The eVito, which became available for ordering some days ago, will kick off the process next year, followed by the eSprinter in 2019.
THE NEW SPRINTER, 2018
The third generation of the Sprinter, which will be released in February 2018, serves as an innovation flagship for an entire Sprinter vehicle class.
The internet connection hardware is deeply integrated as an integral part of the vehicle's infrastructure for the first time, and this seems to stand true for many if not all new release 2018 Mercedes-Benz models.
