• A new on-line grocery supplier has placed a multi-million-pound order with Mercedes-Benz for a fleet of Sprinter chassis-cabs equipped with refrigeration pods for home-delivery operations.
Ocado, launched in partnership with Waitrose, has placed a large initial order for Sprinter 311CDI vans with more to follow next month, building up to "a substantial fleet of vehicles'' within three years.
The vehicles have a 109hp common-rail direct injection engine and the Sprintshift transmission—a sixspeed manual system with automatic clutch. The 3.5m-wheelbase van features a reefer module designed for home deliveries of frozen, chilled and ambient food.
The fleet of Sprinters is being supplied through a five-year contract hire deal with Mercedes-Benz Charterway.
