The Automobile And American Life: February 2020
Having only just returned to the market in the last couple years, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter represents a key model in the company鈥檚 line-up, targeting commercial operators looking for luxury and amenity in a tidy van or cab chassis. Checking fuel economy on two occasions, the first number (under steady-state operating conditions with the chassis air conditioner running) came in at 19.8 mpg. 02 plate mercedes sprinter van 311cdi 2197cc has poor starting when hot &very bad starting cold (glow plugs ok) seems like fuel running back fault plenty battery power turns over ok鈥?Try getting into a Mercedes Sprinter with a bad back. The all-new Mercedes Sprinter comes in a range of outputs: 112 bhp, 143 bhp, 163 bhp or the fastest producing 190 bhp. With 1,700 variants available you鈥檒l never be stuck for choice with the Sprinter. Six-footers, you鈥檒l want to sit up front. Simple and sophisticated, the sprinter has a standard spec and long list of extra features you can add if you want the ultimate trim. If you want a Sprinter van but you don鈥檛 want to pay the big upfront cost, then it鈥檚 most affordable when leased.
The interior can be pre-conditioned - either heated or cooled - before the start of a day鈥檚 journeys while the van is still plugged in, thus not impacting upon the available driving range. While most cargo vans have a lot of space, you can only utilize this by organizing available room creatively Partitioning accessories give you more flexibility when setting up your work area. Mercedes has suggested that longer eSprinters could be made available if the market demands them, but given that such electric vans are intended primarily for city use, the more compact the footprint is, the better. The level of customisation is such that you can even request adjustments in the final drive ratio to better suit your typical payloads, destinations and driving style. It is also possible that Ford evaluated Mercedes' offering and decided it was better to go after a slightly different market segment rather than directly competing.
How much will the Mercedes eSprinter cost? This year, in the upcoming weeks, Mercedes-Benz will take the wraps off the facelifted version of the R-Klasse crossover. Using the most commonly used Type-2 connection, an overnight full recharge will take six hours to replenish the reserves of the three-battery pack with its 41.4kWh capacity. Around 80% of the eSprinter鈥檚 battery capacity will be replenished in under an hour, so it could be planned into a route to coincide with the driver鈥檚 lunch stop. For urban driving this means the only time you are likely to have to brake in the conventional sense is when you reach a red light or stop sign as the eSprinter will continue to creep along rather than coming to a complete halt. The Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner Sprinter will be available in Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner commercial van dealerships in the U.S. A ladder rack is one of the simplest and most effective ways to customize the storage space for your work van. Treka Bus is one of the UK's leading manufacturers of wheelchair accessible vehicles. The robust Sprinter Mini Bus features 3 point seatbelts on every seat, front airbags as standard for driver and co-driver and optional window and thorax bags.
Features to enhance the Sprinters superiority can be added: 10鈥?infotainment touchscreen, reversing cameras, an auxiliary heater that warms engine coolant and interior, electric mirrors and lots more. For fleet managers wondering whether electric Sprinters might suit their requirements in combination with diesel ones for longer routes, Mercedes has a variety of apps and online tools to enable them to see how fully electric vans could be integrated into their fleets. Both versions have a cargo volume of 10.5 cubic metres - the same as the diesel equivalents as the batteries are housed under the floor. Those who require the extra range of the four-battery installation should expect the 55.2kWh capacity to take longer to charge - assuming the batteries are flat to begin with, reaching 100% should take approximately eight hours. However, we do know that Mercedes is including the cost of the batteries within the price, with no separate leasing costs.
Social group membership gives us a set of statuses and role tags that allow people to know what to expect from each other--they make us more predictable. Although many passenger vans may offer the same features, we should still anticipate something more when it comes to Mercedes Sprinter. Lift-off the accelerator and the Mercedes brakes at a rate of -1.5m per second, without touching the brake pedal. While the brake recuperation feels progressive, it might not suit all drivers鈥?preferences, so other modes are available by flicking the steering wheel-mounted paddles. Pull the column lever down to select D- - that鈥檚 the eSprinter鈥檚 default mode - for the most efficient driving with maximum brake energy recuperation. Payload-wise, the three-battery version can carry more, with a 1,040kg maximum, versus the four-battery eSprinter鈥檚 900kg limit. Unchanged in the range were the carburetor version and the injection version of the 2.8-liter six-cylinder. Other than the quietness - only disturbed by a high-pitched noise emanating from the electric motor as the speed increases - it feels like a conventional Sprinter diesel with an automatic gearbox.
