Iain Forsyth, Director of Product Management and Marketing at Mercedes-Benz Vans USA, emphasized the vehicle’s adaptability, stating, “Daily delivery vehicles generally follow a fixed predictable route that is usually under 150 miles – making the eSprinter the perfect solution for last-mile-deliveries.“

For commercial users, partnerships with ChargePoint and other telematics solutions offer tailored fleet management capabilities, furthering the practicality of the eSprinter for enterprise applications.
With this latest rollout, the new eSprinter not only promises to enhance Mercedes-Benz’s footprint in the electric mobility space but also provides commercial users with a highly adaptable, safe, and technologically advanced vehicle option that aligns with modern transport and environmental demands.
