Mercedes-Benz Vans enjoys immediate recognition and strong loyalty from its customers across the region. Some of its greatest achievements have been the success story of the V-Class and the Mercedes-Benz Vans positive reception within the ambulance sector. It has also enjoyed success with the Vito Tourer in the limousine service segment. Mercedes-Benz Vans customers can be assured of quality, reliability, efficiency and uncompromising safety. Safety has always been a central key element to the brand Mercedes-Benz. Since 2017, it has been an official partner of RoadSafetyUAE and actively supports the mission of reducing the number of road traffic fatalities, road traffic injuries and road traffic accidents in the UAE. On a global level, it has increased the safety of its vans even further with the establishment of an in-house accident research team to analyse accident data, and provide input in the ongoing development of its many active and passive safety systems.

Globally, business models have been changing and the rise of smaller businesses and e-commerce has led to an increase in demand for small and medium sized delivery, for last mile delivery. This presents a great opportunity for our new Sprinter as it offers customers in a diverse range of industries more specific applications than ever before.

As its presence in the region is growing diligently, Mercedes-Benz Vans MENA is expanding its customer base by providing more enriched product options, primarily in the pure panel van and people mover segments.

Overall, it intends to enhance its product portfolios, especially its downstream services, by introducing new products such as enhanced warranty concepts for certain markets and attractive service contract solutions.

Sprinter in the lead

In 1995, Mercedes-Benz presented a newly developed van that quickly advanced to become the reference model for an entire vehicle category. From the start of the Sprinter’s development, it was clear that both active and passive safety would be central components of its concept. Since then the Sprinter has maintained its pioneering role in this discipline without interruption. This starts with its handling, which is similar to that of a passenger car, through to its ‘hard’ technology such as ABS and airbags as well as the latest generation of driving assistance systems. Now in its third generation, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter continues to consistently raise the bar for all other vans.

“The Sprinter has enjoyed huge success in the MENA region since its introduction, proving popular for a wide number of applications such as ambulances, school buses and passenger transport,” says Serkan Sarikaya, head of sales, Mercedes-Benz Vans Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

The new edition of the global bestseller sets new benchmarks for large vans. Offering a new, diverse range of product features – like the

broad scope of equipment enabling economical entry-level vehicles as well as panel vans and platform vehicles tailored precisely to the given operational requirements or Tourers with exclusively appointed passenger compartments – that serves specific market segments even more effectively than before. It manages the leap from a commercial vehicle with pure utility value to an impressive business card for commercial fleets and businesses.

It is one of the most flexible vans available, with options and applications that extend from people movers in in terms of school buses and of its diesel engines, while the cockpit has also been redesigned for exceptional functionality, with an intelligent, modular stowage compartment and KEYLESS START. On the panel van version, you can precisely customise the cargo space to suit your requirements with practical options such as the interior roof rack, a weightoptimised plastic floor covering and the loadable wheel arches.

Other benefits include a wide range of drive system variants: depending on the operational profile and desired handling characteristics, you can order your Sprinter with rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. Gearshifting is either manual via a 6-speed manual transmission or automatic via the 7G-TRONIC PLUS transmission.

Connectivity and diversity are the focus of the third, and current, generation of Sprinters. However, regarding the safety features, Mercedes-Benz Vans also raised the vehicle to a new level. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, for example, relieves the driver by automatically maintaining sufficient distance to the vehicle ahead from a speed of 20 km/h. A radar sensor in the front bumper determines the data required for this. The system detects lane changes or braking

Other driver assistance systems introduced to the new Sprinter include a reversing camera with an image in the inside rear-view mirror and a modern parking package with 360-degree camera, providing all-around visibility. A rain sensor and wipers with integrated Wet Wiper System provide for optimum visibility even when the windscreen is being cleaned.

The latest V-Class experience

In 2019, the Mercedes-Benz V-Class facelift was introduced to the region with a new front design, new colours and upholstery choices, as well as an extended range of safety and assistance systems. Mercedes-Benz has further enhanced the model with the integration of the intuitive and self-learning MBUX (MercedesBenz User Experience) multimedia system in the V-Class, available now in showrooms in the region.

The central element of the MBUX multimedia system is its intuitive operating concept. The voice control system can recognise almost any sentence, activated using a button on the steering wheel or by saying “Hey Mercedes”. In addition to this, the voice control system is also capable of learning. There are two baseline MBUX systems to choose from. MBUX Entry is equipped with a 7-inch display and touchpad and MBUX Mid adds the navigation system. Customers can specify individually desired functions to enhance the MBUX multimedia system, such as a larger 10.25-inch display, smartphone integration package and Burmester surround sound system.
