From the original diesel workhorse to today’s electric eSprinter with up to 271 miles range, the Sprinter has evolved alongside your business needs.

Celebrating 30 Years of the Mercedes‑Benz Sprinter at Rossetts!

30 Years of the Sprinter: A Milestone in Movement

In 1995, Mercedes-Benz launched a van that would redefine commercial transport. The Sprinter brought advanced aerodynamics, generous cargo space, and a powerful diesel engine that made it a standout from day one. It was the first van from Mercedes-Benz to carry a real name and quickly became the standard by which others were judged.

Three decades later, the Sprinter remains a leader in its class. From diesel to electric, from long-haul logistics to local service vehicles, the Sprinter has evolved with the times while keeping the same commitment to quality, innovation, and reliability.



Built to Evolve

First Generation (1995)

The Sprinter was introduced with a focus on efficiency and practicality. It featured enhanced cabin space, improved aerodynamics, and was the first van in its class to include disc brakes on all wheels and ABS as standard.

Second Generation (2006)

This version introduced a wide variety of configurations with multiple wheelbases, roof heights, and weight classes. Stability systems like ESP and optional air suspension improved safety and comfort. Efficiency-focused updates included stop-start systems and six-speed gearboxes.

Third Generation (2018)

The third Sprinter introduced front-wheel drive to the range, increasing payload options and reducing entry height. It also debuted the MBUX multimedia system, turning the van into a connected workspace. Driver assistance features like DISTRONIC cruise control brought car-level comfort to commercial transport.


The eSprinter: Fully Electric, Fully Functional

The latest eSprinter is more than just electric. It offers multiple battery options, extended range, and fast charging times, all built on a new modular platform. This new design allows bodybuilders and converters to customise the van to their industry’s exact needs - from parcel delivery to temperature-controlled logistics.

The eSprinter maintains the same high level of comfort, load volume, and connectivity that the diesel version is known for. With its quiet ride, zero tailpipe emissions, and advanced navigation features, it's the ideal solution for fleets and businesses looking to future-proof their operations.

Flashback: A Future-Proof Choice in 2021

Back in 2021, at the early stage of the electric van revolution, Rossetts helped a forward-thinking couple take delivery of one of the first eSprinter models in the UK.

Their fast-growing catering business needed a van that would meet increasing demand while reducing their environmental footprint. The solution? A zero-emission eSprinter with a 55 kWh battery and custom refrigerated fit-out, perfectly suited to deliver fresh produce without compromise.
