Motor Transport Awards 2012

Fleet Van of the Year - Sprinter

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter picked up the award for the Fleet Van of the Year this year.

The Sprinter was praised for ticking so many proverbial boxes for the selection panel, including long service intervals, good fuel economy, strong residual values and offering a wide range of weights and Euro-5 engines. In addition, the large panel van was rewarded for being backed by an excellent dedicated Commercial Vehicle dealer network and unrivalled reliability.

Steve Bridge, Van Sales & Marketing Director at Mercedes-Benz UK, collected the award and said: "This is an outstanding achievement to add to an already long list of award wins for the ever-ready Sprinter. The fact that the final judging for the awards was decided by a panel of readers, who are using these vehicles day-in, day-out, is a testament to the genuine affection there is for this tough workhorse."

The Awards, which introduced the category ten years ago, took place on the 13th June 2012 at the Grosvenor House in London and were judged by readers of Motor Transport.

2013 Motor Transport Awards will be held on the 3rd July 2013.
