Help Your Business Excel With the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
When business owners and managers are looking for a rugged, durable cargo van, they may not think of Mercedes-Benz. However, since 1995, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has been a vehicle that businesses in Lancaster rely on. Mercedes-Benz of Lancaster has a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 for sale that can help you start a new business or expand an existing venture through the simple power of reliable transportation.
From landscapers to moving companies to cleaners, these vans offer the capabilities you need with a more upscale touch that reflects well on a company. Are you searching for a new business cargo van? We have everything you need to know about the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and the ways it works hard for any organization.
The Capacity for All Your Cargo
You have a lot going on, and you can't afford to spend several trips getting tools, equipment, and other items to your work site. Whether you're running a Lancaster County delivery service, an HVAC company, or a plumbing business, there is a Sprinter 2500 that has the space and strength you need.
The cargo van is available in four body and wheelbase configurations, along with a choice between rear-wheel drive (RWD) and all-wheel drive (AWD). Let's review the capacity, payload, and standing height of each setup to see how they help your organization:
144-inch Wheelbase with Standard Roof Height- Cargo Volume: 319 cu.ft.
- Payload: 4,211 lbs RWD, 3,858 lbs AWD
- Standing Height: 68 inches
- Cargo Volume: 374 cu.ft.
- Payload: 4,134 lbs RWD, 3,781 lbs AWD
- Standing Height: 79 inches
- Cargo Volume: 488 cu.ft.
- Payload: 3,814 lbs RWD, 3,450 pounds AWD
- Standing Height: 79 inches
- Cargo Volume: 533 cu.ft.
- Payload: 3,704 lbs RWD, 3,351 lbs AWD
- Standing Height: 79 inches
From heavy equipment to furniture, you can rely on the Sprinter 2500. Each Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs, letting you haul a trailer full of machinery and everything in the van. Many operators set up shelving and other organization systems-you can even get upfitting packages directly from Mercedes-Benz. If your primary cargo is people, the Sprinter 2500 can be configured with up to 15 seats for shuttling folks to and from Lancaster Airport, the Amtrak station, or any other location.
The Power and Performance to Get You There
Having good cargo space and payload is certainly important, but it won't matter if your van is straining to get over hills or feels like it's on ice in every corner. The design of the Sprinter 2500 provides a dose of the luxury driving experience Mercedes-Benz is known for while adapting it to the large size and heavy loads that you'll be toting from Main Street to PA-741.
Beginning with the 2024 model year, Mercedes-Benz no longer offers a gasoline-powered engine on the Sprinter 2500. Instead, business owners have a pair of high-torque diesel options. The Standard Output 2.0L I-4 turbodiesel has 170 hp and 295 lb-ft of torque, while the High Output version produces 211 hp and 332 lb-ft of torque, getting you rolling even when you have a full load. If you opt for a used Sprinter 2500 cargo van, you can still get the classic turbocharged four-cylinder gas engine with 188 hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.
Each engine is mated to a nine-speed automatic transmission that grabs the right gear for any situation. Standard RWD gives you a higher payload capacity, while optional electronic AWD increases traction for sharp city corners, slick conditions, and backroads.
Technology and Safety Features
If someone is learning about your business for the first time, you don't want it to be because you (or your driver) accidentally cut someone off in Main Street traffic or backed into another vehicle in a parking lot. How you drive is the first impression many people get, and you need to make it a good one. That's why Mercedes-Benz can equip the Sprinter 2500 with the latest technology for safe, smart driving.
Every Sprinter 2500 cargo work van comes standard with Active Brake Assist-which includes Automatic Front Emergency Braking-plus cruise control, emergency calling, and rain-sensing windshield wipers. Many other safety features can be added, including:
- A Radar-Powered Blind Spot Assist Mirror to alert you of unseen vehicles and objects, including rear cross-traffic alerts when they're directly behind the van.
- A 360-degree camera to help you park and find your way around tight spaces.
- Active Distance Assistance to make sure you are a safe distance behind or in front of other vehicles.
- Attention Assist, which monitors driving patterns and issues a warning if these patterns indicate you're tired.
- Traffic Sign Assist to alert you of speed limit changes and other signage.
- Active Lane-Keeping Assist to keep you from drifting into another lane.
- A Digital Rearview Mirror so you can see even when the cargo area is full.
- LED Performance Headlights for a clearer view at night and on cloudy days.
Drivers will have all the information they need when buyers opt for the 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen that includes a built-in navigation system. You can reconfigure the gauge display as needed, and with the Mercedes me connect App, fleet managers can monitor the van's status from their smartphones. Other standard and available features include a wireless charging pad, 4G WiFi hotspot capability, internet radio, automatic roadside assistance, remote locking and unlocking, and reminders when you're due for maintenance.
The eSprinter: An Electric Way to Work
Are you looking to project an eco-conscious image for customers and clients? Mercedes-Benz debuted the eSprinter 2500 in 2024, giving Lancaster business owners an all-electric cargo van option. Currently available in the 170-inch wheelbase and high roof design, it looks just like the diesel-powered version from the outside. You get the same standard features and available upfitting accessories, too.
Inside is an electric motor that lets your Lancaster business go green. Choose between a standard 100 kW or a high-output 150 kW motor that gives you a top speed of 75 mph, letting you comfortably drive on highways and interstates. With a max range of 273 miles using the 113 kWh battery, you can drive all around Lancaster, East Petersburg, and beyond for a day's work. Charging the battery from 10 to 80% takes only 42 minutes on a 115 kW level 3 DC charger.
It should be noted that the max payload drops to 2,624 pounds and the towing capacity to 4,100 pounds on the eSprinter 2500, and AWD currently isn't an option. Still, if those numbers are sufficient, the eSprinter is a great choice for businesses that want to be environmentally friendly.
