Mercedes Sprinter

The Next Generation Commercial Van

Mercedes-Benz has released details for the upcoming Mercedes Sprinter, which is pegged to be the most technologically advanced commercial van ever when it is released in mid-2018.

The 2018 Mercedes Sprinter will feature USB ports, Wi-fi hotspot capabilities, climate control, air conditioning, cruise control, remote control electric side doors, voice recognition and a large full colour display touchscreen in the centre console. These are just a few of the creature-comforts that were unveiled, with the full reveal set to take place in February 2018.

Mercedes has said that they are focussing on built-in communication features which will allow fleet managers to keep track of their vehicles at all times. The Mercedes Sprinter will have satellite navigation and the screen can connect to the Mercedes Pro Connect fleet management system, which will allow for telematics, remote control of load areas and automatic scheduling of their vehicle maintenance. As it is connected to GPS, if a van is stuck in traffic, they will automatically be rerouted to their destination to avoid delays.

Crucially, Mercedes says that this new Mercedes Sprinter technology can be specially tailored to suit each customer’s requirements, from single-vehicle traders to large fleets, meaning that it's sure to cater to a broad range of sector requirements.
