Sprinter available under Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner brands

Introduced in North America in 2001, the Sprinter has developed a successful following with more than 130,000 vehicles sold in Canada and the U.S. Now Sprinter commercial vehicles will be available in both countries under the Mercedes-Benz and Freightliner brands, and the Dodge Sprinter will be discontinued.

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter also marks the official return of the three-pointed star to the Canadian and U.S. light-duty commercial vehicle market. Delivery of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to dealers and customers began in January 2010. 

The Sprinter in Canada and the U.S. is offered in three vehicle lengths on two wheelbases with three GVWRs (gross vehicle weight rating). With a line-up of cargo vans, passenger vans and chassis cab models, it also offers two roof heights. Powered by an efficient 3.0 V-6 turbo diesel engine, standard equipment includes ADAPTIVE ESP. Taking electronic stability programs to the next level, ADAPTIVE ESP features additional sensors that take into consideration vehicle payload, further reducing the risk of skidding and loss of control.
