Mercedes charged into the light commercial vehicle sector with a vengeance when it launched the Sprinter in 1995. Introduced to a fanfare of approval, it has quickly risen to be numbertwo in the market behind Transit. Initial body platform was shared with Volkswagen (see LT below), though most recent updates have been carried out independently. The two companies have signed deals for joint production of a replacement model, senor launch 2006.
Sprinter received a makeover in 2003 with new common-rail engines, auto transmission option. improvements to the cabin area as well as a number of traction and stability upgrades. All combine to makethe Sprinter a formidable force in this area. particularly in the longer distance fleet sector, where the Sprinter, like the Transit and the Daily, benefits from an extension into the 3.5-tonne-plus sector. Definitely one for the fleet shortlist.
