The 2024 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter revolutionizes urban transport
February 22 2023,
To meet the growing needs of businesses that want to operate with minimal resources and do their part for the environment, Mercedes-Benz recently unveiled the new eSprinter - a fully electric variant of its popular cargo van. It combines performance, versatility and reliability in a highly technological package that offers impressive range.
Here, we take a look at the features of this new addition to the Mercedes-Benz van family.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter is powered by a high-performance electric powertrain
The eSprinter is powered by an electric motor that sends power to the rear wheels. It will initially be offered as a 3500 variant with an extended wheelbase (170 inches). Its battery offers an impressive 113 kWh of usable power. The battery is LFP (nickel and cobalt free), a technology known for its durability and responsible use of valuable materials. Properly equipped, the charging system can take the eSprinter's battery from 10% to 80% in 42 minutes at a fast charging station.
The eSprinter can unleash up to 204 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. But what's even more amazing is that drivers will be able to travel up to 304 kilometres (estimated) on a single charge. That's more range than any of its rivals currently offer.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter is a fully connected van
The new eSprinter gets the latest version of the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) system, which is equipped with the latest technologies and applications. Everything is displayed on a 10.25-inch screen.
What is even more interesting with this particular MBUX system is that it contains functions reserved for electric driving, such as a navigation system that can recalculate the vehicle's range according to the proposed route, taking into account the topographical data of the route.
For fleet managers, the eSprinter offers the possibility to program up to 7 distinct driver profiles, with geo-tracking and their individually configurable logbooks.
The system also informs the driver how far the truck can travel before it has return to its starting point, taking into account the distance to be covered, the load and changes in elevation on the route.
The 2024 eSprinter offers plenty of range for businesses that need to travel short and long distances efficiently. The Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 2024 will officially enter the Canadian market in the summer of 2023.
