Thus, it is no surprise that it is the first to offer electric-powered vans. Read this Mercedes-Benz of Plano blog post to see if the eSprinter van lineup can cover your cargo van needs. 

To most Americans, the name Mercedes-Benz invokes images of remarkably well-engineered luxury sedans, SUVs, and sports cars. But for tradespeople or those with small businesses that involve local transport, the brand means remarkably well-engineered cargo vans. This is because the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has been providing small businesses and tradespeople with high-quality transport for 30 years. Mercedes-Benz of Plano gives you this quick history.

There was plenty to choose from this year, with a new Toyota Tacoma and new Ram 1500, and this was the first year that the Cybertruck and Rivian trucks were in the mix. But among all those open beds stood two anomalies: the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter 2500…

The COVID-19 pandemic may have been a challenging time for us, but it spawned some popular ideas for many who wanted to do something different than stay in place.
