2013 Van Fleet World Honours in UK
Sprinter named Best Large Van
Mercedes-Benz Vans win Safety Award
Mercedes-Benz walk away with their heads held high from the 2013 Van Fleet World Honours winning overall Safety Award and Best Large Van with the Sprinter.
John Kendall, Van Fleet World Editor, said: "Mercedes-Benz was the first van manufacturer to offer Electronic Stability Program on the Sprinter 11 years ago and is the only van manufacturer to fit the safety system as standard to all its vans - Citan, Vito and Sprinter. Later this year, the new Sprinter will be the first to be fitted with Crosswind Assist as standard, to maintain stability in a strong crosswind. Collision Avoidance and Blindspot Assistance will also be available on the new model. Few rivals come close."
"As the winner of our Best Large Van award, the Sprinter offers one of the most comprehensive ranges available for a large van, including Traveliner passenger models and the chassis cab and dropside ranges. A wide choice of engines means its fleet appeal extends from rental companies to the emergency services. A new model is due in the autumn and it says a lot for the current design that Mercedes-Benz will not be changing the basic structure."
