Mercedes-Benz Sprinter: emission-free and almost silent in urban use - a major step towards the drive system of the future. There are a number of different paths which lead to emission-free and almost silent drive systems, but their common goal is clearly defined: tomorrow´s short-haul road vehicles will be electrically powered. This is of particular relevance to vans, as many are used on a daily basis by courier and delivery services as well as tradespeople in environmentally sensitive areas. The bridging technology to the all-electric vehicle is the hybrid drive: vans with a hybrid drive use a combustion engine in combination with an electric motor. They are paving the way for the drive system of the future.
