The '''Mercedes-Benz Sprinter''' is a [[light commercial vehicle]] ([[van]]) built by [[Mercedes-Benz Group]] AG of [[Stuttgart]], Germany as a large [[van]], [[chassis cab]], [[minibus]], and [[pickup truck]]. In the past, the Sprinter had been sold under the [[Mercedes-Benz]], [[Dodge]], and [[Freightliner Trucks|Freightliner]] nameplates. In the U.S., it was built from [[complete knock down]] (CKD) kits by Freightliner. Re-badged and re-engined Sprinters were also sold by [[Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles]] as the [[Volkswagen LT]] and the [[Volkswagen Crafter]]. They are now primarily marketed by Mercedes-Benz.

In the Mercedes-Benz van lineup, the Sprinter is the largest model offered, followed by the mid-size [[Mercedes-Benz Vito|Vito]] (aka Viano, V-Class, and EQV) and small [[Mercedes-Benz Citan|Citan]].

===Europe===
The first generation Sprinter was launched in Europe in 1995 to replace the famous but outdated [[Mercedes-Benz TN|T1 Transporter]] van dating from 1977. Compared to the T1, the Sprinter had reduced the aerodynamic drag and moved the engine {{cvt|290|mm}} further forward to increase cabin space.<ref name=CM-1995>{{cite news |url=https://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/2nd-february-1995/20/ni-b-sprinter-has-a-tough-act-to-follow |title=M-B Sprinter has a tough act to follow |author1=Kendall, John |author2=Clark, Toby |date=2 February 1995 |work=Commercial Motor |access-date=5 December 2022}}</ref> It was the first Mercedes-Benz product to carry a name rather than an alphanumeric designation.<ref name=20yr-PR>{{cite press release |url=https://group-media.mercedes-benz.com/marsMediaSite/en/instance/ko/20-years-of-Mercedes-Benz-Sprinter-The-pioneer-for-a-vehicle-class.xhtml?oid=9361320 |title=20 years of Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: The pioneer for a vehicle class |date=10 September 2015 |publisher=Mercedes-Benz Group Media |access-date=5 December 2022}}</ref> It was released with four-wheel [[disc brake]]s equipped with an [[antilock braking system]] and was driven by the most powerful diesel engine in its class, with a power output of {{cvt|90|kW}}.<ref name=20yr-PR/> The Sprinter was voted [[International Van of the Year]] for 1995.

The styling was updated in 2000 and 2002, accompanied by technical changes that included standard [[electronic stability control]] (2002).<ref name=20yr-PR/>

===North America===
{{more citations needed section|date=August 2018}}
{{multiple image |align=left |direction=vertical |title=North American Sprinters
 |image1=Dodge-Sprinter.jpg |caption1=Dodge
 |image2=Freightliner Sprinter 2500 SHC.jpg |caption2=Freightliner}}
The first generation (VA chassis) North American Sprinter was launched for the 2002 model year in the U.S. and was originally branded as a [[Freightliner Trucks|Freightliner]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://archive.commercialmotor.com/article/29th-june-2000/13/-the-sprinter-is-finally-breaking-into-the-north-a |title=Sprinter hits US |date=29 June 2000 |work=Commercial Motor |access-date=5 December 2022}}</ref> In 2003, it received Dodge branding, as DaimlerChrysler chose to replace the aging [[Dodge Ram van]] with the Sprinter rather than redesign it. After 2003, they were sold concurrently under the Freightliner and Dodge nameplates, and were identical except for minor styling details and badging. DaimlerChrysler chose not to badge the Sprinter as a Mercedes-Benz, because it felt the utilitarian Sprinter would interfere with the luxury image that the Mercedes-Benz brand had in North America, and instead used the Freightliner and Dodge nameplates, as both of those brands had more experience selling trucks and commercial vehicles.

Cargo versions of the Sprinter were manufactured in Düsseldorf, Germany, partially disassembled, and then shipped to a Freightliner factory in [[Gaffney, South Carolina]], where they were reassembled. The cargo versions, classified as [[light truck]]s, are subject to the 25% [[chicken tax]] if imported as a complete unit, which is avoided by the disassembly and importation as a semi knock-down kit, with subsequent reassembly in the U.S. Passenger vans were not subject to the same tax classifications and were imported as an assembled unit through Mercedes-Benz in Jacksonville, Florida.

2002–2003 Sprinters sold in North America were only available with the 2.7L [[Mercedes-Benz OM612 engine|OM612]] inline-5 diesel engine, and were only available in 49 states as it was not compliant with [[CARB]] emissions standards; 2004–2006 models used the [[Mercedes-Benz OM647 engine|OM647]] engine, which replaced the OM612's air-cooled EGR valve with a water-cooled unit, among other changes, which made the 2004–2006 Sprinters CARB-compliant. The only transmission offered in North America was the 5-speed [[Mercedes-Benz 5G-Tronic transmission|5G-Tronic]] transmission.

The product was launched and supported by DaimlerChrysler Vans LLC, a small division based in [[Huntersville, North Carolina]]. Key individuals from DaimlerChrysler Commercial Vehicle Division and [[Freightliner Trucks]] were selected to spearhead the effort and made up the bulk of the division. DaimlerChrysler Vans LLC retained sole responsibility for the North American Sprinter market until the sales, service and parts support responsibilities were absorbed by Chrysler Commercial Vehicle Division in 2004. Nearly all of the original staff were retained, though the base of operations shifted from North Carolina to Auburn Hills, Michigan.

===Japan===
The Sprinter van was sold as the '''Mercedes-Benz Transporter T1N''' due to [[Toyota]] using the name [[Toyota Sprinter]], a version of the Corolla.

===Iran===
The model ''314'' of the first generation is still assembled by [[Iran Khodro Diesel]].<ref name="ikd-co.com"/> It is used as an ambulance.

===Vietnam===
The first generation Sprinter was assembled by Mercedes Benz Vietnam in [[Ho Chi Minh City]] from CKD kits to avoid high local import duties.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dw.com/en/vietnam-goes-mercedes-benz/a-5214167|title = Vietnam Goes Mercedes Benz &#124; 06.01.2009|publisher = [[Deutsche Welle]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.mercedes-benz.com.vn/en/passengercars/the-brand/Mercedes-BenzVietnam/vision.module.html |title=Vision |access-date=27 August 2019 |archive-date=27 August 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190827105842/https://www.mercedes-benz.com.vn/en/passengercars/the-brand/Mercedes-BenzVietnam/vision.module.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Sprinter Classic===
Since 2013, the 2000–2006 Sprinter model has been revived in Russian markets only as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Classic. The Phase II 2002–2006 grille was chosen for use on the Sprinter Classic and the 2000–2006 dashboard design. The Sprinter Classic used the steering wheel from the 2006–2014 Sprinter models. The Sprinter Classic is built by the Gorky Automobile Plant at Nizhny Novgorod for service in Russian/Eastern European markets only.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://wroom.ru/en/cars/mercedesbenz/sprinterclassic |title=Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Classic |website=Wroom.ru |access-date=5 December 2016 |archive-date=24 June 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180624035943/https://wroom.ru/en/cars/mercedesbenz/sprinterclassic |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===Diesel Hybrid Concepts===
In 2004, A [[Plug-in hybrid]] prototype version and a non-plug-in hybrid prototype version of the van were made, The plug-in van had an electric motor with an output of {{convert|70|kW|hp|abbr=on}} and an NiMH battery with a capacity of 14kWh. Which supported an all-electric operating range of up to {{convert|30|km|mi|abbr=off|sp=us}}. The battery recharged from the plug-in to the main power supply in approximately 6 hours. the non-plug-in van had a smaller electric motor with an output of {{convert|30|kW|hp|abbr=on}} and smaller batteries with a capacity of only 3 kWh.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://newatlas.com/mercedes-benz-sprinter-now-also-with-diesel-electric-hybrid-drive/3906/|title=Mercedes-Benz Sprinter now also with diesel-electric hybrid drive|date=4 April 2005|website=New Atlas}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://jalopnik.com/electric-vanliness-sprinter-to-be-daimlerchryslers-fir-247681|title=Electric Vanliness: Sprinter to Be DaimlerChrysler's First Plug-in Hybrid|date=28 March 2007|website=Jalopnik}}</ref> These allowed purely electric operation with a range of {{convert|3|to|4|km|mi|abbr=on}}.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.greencarcongress.com/2004/09/diesel_hybrid_s.html|title=Diesel Hybrid Sprinter Vans|website=Green Car Congress}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.epri.com/research/products/1010559|title=EPRI Home|website=www.epri.com}}</ref>

The second-generation Sprinter was introduced in Europe in 2006. It was voted Van of the Year for 2007 and again in 2008 by Professional Van and Light Truck Magazine.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.vantrader.org/Pages/MercedesSprinterModels.aspx |title=Mercedes Sprinter Models |access-date=22 October 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121227184434/http://www.vantrader.org/Pages/MercedesSprinterModels.aspx |archive-date=27 December 2012}}</ref>

Also known as the NCV3<ref>{{cite web |url=http://cheaprvlivingblog.com/2013/05/is-a-sprinter-the-right-van-for-you/ |title=Is a Sprinter the Right Van for You |publisher=Cheap RV Living Blog |date=1 April 2013 |access-date=4 November 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131020103650/http://cheaprvlivingblog.com/2013/05/is-a-sprinter-the-right-van-for-you/ |archive-date=20 October 2013 |url-status=usurped }}</ref> or New Concept Van 3, the second generation Sprinter appeared in Europe and in other countries as the 2006 model year. North America received its own NCV3 for the 2007 model year.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sprinter-source.com/wiki/index.php/Sprinter#NCV3_Sprinter_2nd_Generation_.282006_.E2.80.93_present.29 |title=Sprinter – Sprinter-Wiki |publisher=Sprinter-Source.com |date=11 April 2013 |access-date=14 November 2013 |archive-date=27 July 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160727065654/http://sprinter-source.com/wiki/index.php/Sprinter#NCV3_Sprinter_2nd_Generation_.282006_.E2.80.93_present.29 |url-status=dead }}</ref>

By 2010 a BlueTEC version of the NCV3 Sprinter with the OM642 was released. The BlueTEC systems allowed the elimination of much of the [[Exhaust gas recirculation|EGR]] in that vehicle's engine, which as a result gave {{convert|188|HP|kW|abbr=off}} compared to the non-BlueTec engine's {{convert|154|hp|kW|abbr=off}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=Mercedes to bring Bluetec diesel to European-market Sprinters by 2012, but we get it first!|date=Apr 20, 2010|url=http://green.autoblog.com/2010/04/20/mercedes-to-bring-bluetec-diesel-to-european-market-sprinters-by}}</ref>

The U.S. cargo version of the 906 NCV3 came in two wheelbase options (144", 170"), two roof heights (standard 60.6", high 72.4"), three lengths (Short 233.3", Standard 274.2, Extended 289.8"), and two weight classes (2500, 3500).<ref>{{cite web|title=Sprinter Cargo Van Specifications|url=http://www.mbsprinterusa.com/sprinter/cargo-van/specifications/|publisher=Sprinter USA|access-date=8 November 2013}}</ref> 3500 models had the option of dual rear wheels or extra-wide "super single" wheels in some, but not all, markets. Neither the 128" wheelbase nor the rear super single tires were available in the U.S. market. The U.S. cargo version was reassembled from kits in an assembly plant located in [[Ladson, South Carolina]], while the passenger models were imported directly from Germany.

The second-generation 906 was produced in Argentina only for export markets—except Mercosur markets (Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay)—from 2007 until 2010, but in 2011, announced new production of the second generation in the Centro Industrial J. Manuel Fangio, in Buenos Aires<ref>{{cite web|url=http://autoblog.com.ar/2011/09/mercedes-benz-argentina-festejo-sus-60-anos-con-el-anuncio-de-la-nueva-sprinter/ |title=Mercedes-Benz Argentina festejó sus 60 años con el anuncio de la nueva Sprinter |publisher=Autoblog.com.ar |access-date=26 February 2012}}</ref> with the brand-new OM 651 engine (also locally made) and exported to the rest of South America (including Mercosur markets). Since 2012, it has been manufactured for the Mercosur and 40 other countries. 70% of its production is exported.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.lanacion.com.ar/autos/el-mapa-exportador-de-autos-todos-los-modelos-que-vende-la-argentina-a-la-region-nid05102022/|title=El mapa exportador de autos: todos los modelos que vende la Argentina a la región|date=5 October 2022|website=LA NACION}}</ref>

===Production===
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter was built in Daimler's Mercedes-Benz Düsseldorf and Ludwigsfelde production plants.

For the second-generation Sprinter marketed in the United States, to avoid "chicken tax" import duties, the cargo version was disassembled partially, shipped to the United States, and reassembled at a plant in Ladson, South Carolina (near [[North Charleston, South Carolina|North Charleston]]), in a process known as [[Knock-down kit|semi knock-down]] assembly (SKD), starting in June 2006; the passenger version continued to be imported as a complete unit.<ref name=JA-202108/><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.crda.org/news/local_news/sprinter-van-plant-adds-shuttle-line-to-operations-in-ladson/ |title=Sprinter van plant adds shuttle line to operations in Ladson |author=Brock, Daniel |date=8 April 2010 |work=Charleston Regional Business Journal |access-date=5 December 2022}}</ref> The Ladson factory previously was used as an [[American LaFrance]] factory for firefighting trucks.<ref name=JA-202108>{{cite news |url=https://www.just-auto.com/news/us-mercedes-plant-marks-15-years-of-chicken-tax-dodging/ |title=US Mercedes van plant marks 15 years of chicken tax-dodging |author=Roberts, Graeme |date=5 August 2021 |work=Just Auto |access-date=5 December 2022}}</ref> The previous SKD reassembly facility in Gaffney resumed operations under Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation.

A class action lawsuit was filed in California state court against Mercedes-Benz alleging the defendant had sold Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 and 3500 models with water that leaked from the roof air conditioning unit into the passenger area. The leaking air conditioning unit was also discovered on Dodge Sprinters made by Mercedes-Benz from 2003 through 2009. The lawsuit affected California residents with the rooftop AC units and Sprinters equipped with the rear AC.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nbcmiami.com/news/local/Mercedes-Hit-by-Lawsuit-Over-Sprinter-Model-255426041.html|title=Mercedes Hit by Lawsuit Over Sprinter Model|work=NBC 6 South Florida|date=16 April 2014 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.autoblog.com/2014/04/21/mercedes-sprinter-leaky-ac-units-class-action-suit-video/|title=Mercedes Sprinter vans with leaky A/C units prompt class-action suit [w/video]|first =Chris | last = Bruce|date=21 April 2014|work=Autoblog}}</ref>

The third-generation Sprinter debuted on 6 February 2018, at the Mercedes-Benz logistics center in [[Duisburg]] and was available to purchase from June 2018. It is the first generation to include a front-wheel-drive van in the line-up. A new range of standard and optional technology and comfort features were made available.<ref>{{cite web |title=Mercedes-Benz presents the third generation of the Sprinter |url=https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/vehicles/transporter/mercedes-benz-presents-the-third-generation-of-the-sprinter/ |website=Mercedes-Benz |access-date=28 September 2019 |archive-date=28 September 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190928211028/https://www.mercedes-benz.com/en/vehicles/transporter/mercedes-benz-presents-the-third-generation-of-the-sprinter/ |url-status=dead }}</ref>

To prepare for the third-generation van, in 2015, Mercedes-Benz Vans decided to switch North American Sprinter production to complete knock-down kit (CKD) assembly,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://columbiabusinessreport.com/news/construction/50597/ |title=Mercedes-Benz to invest $500M in new van plant |date=6 March 2015 |work=Columbia Regional Business Report |access-date=5 December 2022}}</ref> kicking off an expansion of the Ladson factory in 2016,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/jaclyntrop/2016/07/27/mercedes-breaks-ground-on-its-500-million-sprinter-van-plant-in-south-carolina/ |title=Mercedes Breaks Ground On Its $500 Million Sprinter Van Plant In South Carolina |author=Trop, Jaclyn |date=27 July 2016 |work=Forbes |access-date=5 December 2022}}</ref> and the first Ladson-built Sprinter rolled off the assembly line in September 2018.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://charlestonbusiness.com/news/automotive/75131/ |title=Mercedes-Benz Vans now building Sprinters start to finish in the Lowcountry |date=5 September 2018 |work=Charleston Regional Business Journal |access-date=5 December 2022}}</ref> The Freightliner version was discontinued after the 2021 model year as part of the Daimler Truck divestment in the Freightliner brand in October 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.motor1.com/news/440367/mercedes-freightliner-sprinter-dead-us/|title = Mercedes-Benz is Ending Production of the Freightliner Sprinter van}}</ref>

The third generation Sprinter was updated for the 2023 model year in the U.S., offering a new, all-time all-wheel-drive option with retirement of the selectable "4×4" option; additionally, a 2.0L 4-cylinder OM654 engine replaced the previous diesel engines with standard and high-output tunings offered. Power steering was updated to electromechanical from hydraulic.

In Spring 2024 the European market front wheel drive variant (designation 910) that had been available from the third generation launch was discontinued. Front wheel drive Sprinters can be visually distinguished by their unique wheelbase which is different to all others (see how the rear wheels are pushed closer to the rear bumper).

==Uses==
[[File:Mercedes-Benz Sprinter FedEx 2.jpg|thumb|Sprinter used as a [[FedEx Express]] delivery vehicle]]
The Sprinter is designed primarily for business, not private users, although [[recreational vehicle]] (RV) conversions are available. In the United States, the first generation Sprinters (2001–2006) were offered solely with the Mercedes-Benz 2.7&nbsp;litre [[straight-five engine|straight 5 cylinder]] [[Turbo-diesel|turbocharged Diesel]].

Companies are replacing van conversions with wide bus bodies—Sprinters with side-facing benches and tall right-side doors—as campus shuttles. Limited numbers of complete "[[station wagons|wagons]]" (passenger vans) are being produced in Germany and shipped complete to the United States mostly for personal and church [[van]] uses. Typical Sprinter wagons accommodate 8 to 10 passengers and have glass in all possible factory positions. Vans shipped to the United States on-spec (speculation to sell by dealer/distributor) are mostly sent in Arctic White color, but many colors are available. The Dodge dealer network for Sprinters is limited to certified locations (known as "Business Link" certified dealers, usually only awarded to "Five Star" certified dealers), and dealer knowledge is still limited in both sales and service. Special orders typically take one to three months for delivery, and may take even longer due to the assembly and disassembly in Germany, and exporting parts to South Carolina for re-assembly. The exception is passenger van models which are assembled in Germany and exported as complete vehicles. This is because of the United States [[Chicken Tax]]. As an [[unintended consequence]], several importers of light trucks have circumvented the tariff via [[loopholes]], known as [[tariff engineering]]. [[Ford Motor Company|Ford]] (ostensibly a company that the tax was designed to protect), imported its first-generation [[Transit Connect]] light trucks as "passenger vehicles" to the U.S. from Turkey, and immediately stripped and shredded portions of their interiors (e.g., installed rear seats, seatbelts) in a warehouse outside Baltimore.<ref name="wsjtransit">{{cite news|title = To Outfox the Chicken Tax, Ford Strips Its Own Vans| work=The Wall Street Journal |first=Matthew |last=Dolan| url = https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB125357990638429655|date=23 September 2009}}</ref> To import vans built in Germany, Mercedes-Benz "disassembled them and shipped the pieces to South Carolina, where American workers put them back together in a small kit assembly building."<ref name="mercedes">{{cite news| title = M-B finds a better way around the 'chicken tax' M-B Vans picks a more normal production setup|work= Automotive News|author= Jim Henry|date=3 December 2016| url = http://www.autonews.com/article/20161203/OEM/312059954/m-b-finds-a-better-way-around-the-chicken-tax}}</ref> The resulting vehicles emerge as locally manufactured, free from the tariff.

In North America, most Sprinters are sold as cargo vans to expediters in the United States. Such expediters are similar to truck drivers, except they take smaller loads and will wait after unloading until dispatchers find another customer nearby to transport goods. The advent of the Sprinter van with its cargo space of {{convert|13.5|feet|m|abbr=on}} has allowed van expediters to take three {{convert|48|x|48|in|m|abbr=on}} skids or pallets, where previously they were limited to a capacity of two pallets. A Sprinter is capable of hauling approximately {{convert|3000|lb|kg|abbr=on}} of cargo. The vehicle has been adopted by the [[Hong Kong Police Force|police in Hong Kong]], United Kingdom and in [[Policja|Poland]], and also as an [[ambulance]] by countries in Western Europe, Scandinavia, the U.S., Australia, New Zealand and Singapore.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Evolution of SCDF's Ambulances |url=https://www.scdf.gov.sg/rescue995/archive/technologies/the-evolution-of-scdf-s-ambulances |access-date=2024-06-06 |website=SCDF |language=en}}</ref> The 515 CDI has become the standard ambulance for use by the [[National Health Service (England)|National Health Service]] (NHS) in the United Kingdom, and the [[Health Service Executive]] (HSE) & Dublin Fire Brigade Ambulance Service in the Republic of Ireland.{{Citation needed|reason=Many ambulance services use Fiat, Citroën, Peugeot, Vauxhall and Renault base vehicles.|date=October 2019}}

Another market in which Sprinters are gaining ground is as [[Conversion van#Conversion types|van conversions]] and [[recreational vehicle]]s. Conversions include RVs, limousines, family and luxury vans, office vans, [[wheelchair accessible van]]s and golf vans. Sprinter RV conversions can also be called Sprinter [[campervan]]s. Sprinter conversions have been produced by several RV and coach manufacturers. Chilled box versions of the Sprinter currently make up the majority of the supermarket Home Delivery fleet across the UK, but demand for these vans has begun to decline. ASDA recently announced that its new fleet would be primarily custom IVECO vans, following in the footsteps of Tesco. [[Ocado]] & retail partner [[Morrisons]] are primarily taking delivery of [[Ford Transit]]s for their newer fleet. Mercedes are currently working with Waitrose Home Delivery, who currently use chilled LWB HR Sprinters, on a prototype of a new generation home-delivery van, which is currently being used in select stores, aiming to cut emissions, costs and increase time efficiency.

Sprinters have been used globally as television production vehicles, most commonly as ENG (Electronic News Gathering) and SNG (Satellite News Gathering) vehicles. These are a popular choice for local affiliates for their maneuverability in metropolitan areas and the lack of DOT regulations (in the under 10,000&nbsp;lbs versions).

Despite not being marketed as a family vehicle, a custom-modified Dodge-branded Sprinter was used by the ten-member Gosselin family, the subjects of the [[TLC (TV channel)|TLC]] reality series ''[[Kate Plus 8|Jon & Kate Plus 8]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.motherproof.com/advice-safety/story/really-big-vans-for-really-big-families/|title=Really Big Vans for Really Big Families|publisher=MotherProof.com|access-date=26 September 2009}}</ref>

In Colombia, the Sprinter is the most popular van for intercity transport. The purchase of a luxuriously appointed Sprinter by the son of former President Julio Cesar Turbay, Julio Cesar Turbay Jr. prompted a scandal.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://elespectador.com/noticias/judicial/articulo-247222-costosa-camioneta-del-contralor|title=La costosa camioneta del Contralor|date=26 January 2011|publisher=El Espectador|language=es|access-date=27 November 2012}}</ref>

A Mercedes Sprinter was the vehicle used by Mike and Frank on the [[History (U.S. TV channel)|History Channel]] reality series ''[[American Pickers]]'' until Season 6, when it was replaced by a [[Ford Transit]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.history.com/shows/american-pickers/videos/the-van#the-van/|title=The American Pickers Van|publisher=History.com|access-date=29 March 2010}}</ref>

The van is also used as a mobile command center by the [[Garda Síochána]] which is the national police force of the [[Republic of Ireland]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2018}}

A chassis of the Sprinter is also expected to be used for the upcoming [[Astronaut transfer van|Astrovan II]] which will be made by [[Airstream]] to transport Boeing [[Commercial Crew Development|commercial crew]] astronauts to [[Cape Canaveral Space Launch Complex 41]] where they would board the [[Boeing CST-100 Starliner|CST-100 Starliner]] on their way to the [[International Space Station]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://arstechnica.com/cars/2019/10/airstream-builds-astrovan-ii-for-boeing-cst-100-astronaut-transport/ |title=Airstream builds Astrovan II for Boeing CST-100 astronaut transport |work=[[Ars Technica]]|first=Jonathan|last=Gitlin|date=21 October 2019 |access-date=25 May 2020}}</ref>

==Passenger minibuses==
Although primarily marketed as a goods [[van]], the Sprinter has 5 variants designed to carry [[passengers]]. These are made by removing parts of the walls and replacing them with glass [[window]] panels.

===Sprinter Mobility===
[[File:Mercedes Benz Sprinter 415 CDi 2012 (8760788911).jpg|thumb|Sprinter Mobility]]
This is the smallest of the Sprinter minibuses. There are 4 sub-variants: the 23, 33, 35, and 45. It has 8-18 seats and is 6.9-7.4 metres long. It has 4 doors: 1 on either side of the driver and front passenger seats (which, like in a van, are segregated from the main passenger compartment), a sliding door in the middle, which goes into the rear passenger seating area, and a set of double doors at the back going into the disabled area with an [[elevator]] that can be extended out of the doors when they are open.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.mercedes-benz.co.uk/content/unitedkingdom/mpc/mpc_unitedkingdom_website/en/home_mpc/bus/home/new_buses/models/minibuses/Sprinter_Mobility_e6_/fascination/gallery.flash.html|title=Images|website=mercedes-benz.co.uk|access-date=20 March 2018}}</ref>

It is designed for [[paratransit]].

===Sprinter Transfer===
[[File:BNSC 44901 R2.jpg|thumb|[[Stagecoach Manchester]] [[Bee Network]]-branded [[Mellor Strata]] bodied Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Transfer at [[Manchester Piccadilly|Piccadilly Station]] in 2024]]
This minibus is a longer variant of the Sprinter Mobility where the front passenger seat has been removed and the front passenger seat door now acts as the door for all passengers. In addition, the back wall has seats along it, but can be opened as a door and the seats removed to make modifications to the interior of the vehicle. It comes in 5 sub-variants: 23, 34, 35, 45, and 55. It has 13-22 seats and is 5.9-7.7 metres long.

It is designed for bus services to [[hamlet (place)|hamlets]].

===Sprinter Travel===
This bus has a high-floor, and in addition to the driver's door, has just 1 automatic passenger door with steps. It is 7.4-7.7 metres long and has 17-19 seats.

It is marketed as a mini-[[coach (bus)|coach]].

===Sprinter Inkanyezi===
The Sprinter Inkanyezi is marketed in [[South Africa]] from 2020s onward as [[Share taxi|minibus taxi]] fleet in the country. The car is powered by a 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine and can carry 23 passengers.<ref>{{cite news |last=Ruthun |first=Pritesh |date=11 November 2021 |title=Why Merc's Sprinter 'Inkanyezi' could be great for transport businesses looking to bounce back |url=https://www.news24.com/wheels/news/why-mercs-sprinter-inkanyezi-could-be-great-for-transport-businesses-looking-to-bounce-back-20211111 |work=News24 |access-date=}}</ref>
