Full-Size Cargo Van, 3/4 Ton
2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Cargo 2500 Std Roof SWB 144 WB
|
The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 stared down the cargo van competition and emerged victorious, earning top honours in the Vincentric Best Fleet Value in Canada awards for 2012 by claiming the lowest lifecycle costs in 19 of 24 scenarios measured. The Sprinter’s diesel technology provided strong fuel economy, and with low maintenance and repair costs created a combination that couldn’t be beat. Although the Nissan 2500 Cargo Van showed some strength in five long-term lifecycle periods, it wasn’t enough to overcome Mercedes-Benz’s grip on this important fleet industry segment.
