ALL-NEW FOR 2024: Mercedes-Benz Introduces the Futuristic eSprinter
In a groundbreaking move, Mercedes-Benz has unveiled the all-new eSprinter for 2024. This innovative electric vehicle combines the iconic Sprinter design with a powerful battery EV drivetrain, propelling the Sprinter name into the future. With its 170-inch wheelbase and an impressive 113 kWh battery, the eSprinter boasts an estimated driving range of around 273 miles on a single charge. And that’s just the beginning.
Mercedes-Benz has plans to release extended-range battery packs in the near future, promising even greater range capabilities. This makes the eSprinter not only ideal for city driving but also perfect for longer delivery runs. Say goodbye to gas and diesel fans, as the eSprinter revolutionizes the delivery driver experience.
One of the most impressive features of the eSprinter is its spacious cargo area, with estimates of up to 488 cubic feet. This, combined with a maximum permissible gross vehicle weight of 9,370 lbs, ensures that delivery drivers will have more than enough space and hauling capacity. Mercedes-Benz Vans has ingeniously designed a modular solution for space management, allowing the eSprinter to accommodate a wide range of cargo, from cardboard boxes to landscaping equipment and everything in between.
The interior of the eSprinter is equipped with a revolutionary modular platform solution, divided into three modules. The front module houses the vehicle’s high-voltage equipment, while the middle module contains the battery pack. Finally, the rear module is home to two electric motors that power the rear-wheel-drive EV powertrain. With a permanent synchronous motor electric drivetrain weighing just 286 lbs, the eSprinter delivers impressive torque figures of up to 295 lb-ft. While it may not match the performance of an F-150 Lightning, it is perfectly suited for the needs of delivery drivers.
In terms of driver aids and comfort, the eSprinter offers a suite of features similar to those found in Mercedes-Benz passenger cars. The full Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) ensures that even the most mundane delivery journeys are comfortable and enjoyable. Additionally, the eSprinter boasts fast charging capabilities, with a ten to 80 percent charge achievable in just 40 minutes. This means less time waiting around and more time on the road.
Starting at an affordable MSRP of $71,886 for the standard power output and $75,316 for a high output motor, the eSprinter presents significant savings on gasoline from day one. With its futuristic design, impressive range, and cost-effective operation, the eSprinter is set to revolutionize the delivery industry. Get ready for the future of electric delivery vehicles with the all-new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter.
