Mercedes-Benz Canada announced today that the Sprinter commercial vehicle brand will join the Mercedes-Benz group in Canada as of January 1, 2010. Well-known and respected as a benchmark in the light-duty commercial vehicle segment, the Sprinter vans offer customers the best overall value and lead the industry in the areas of safety, fuel efficiency and innovation.


Sprinter vans will be available in Canada with a 3.0 litre 6-cylinder diesel engine that offers best in class fuel efficiency while still meeting the latest strict emission regulations, including the particularly stringent EPA 10 guidelines. A myriad of options are available to allow customers the opportunity to build a vehicle that properly suits their business, transportation or recreational needs.
