Including 113 kWh battery
Mercedes-Benz has presented a completely new electric Sprinter. This is the new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter, complete with a 113 kWh battery pack and a range of up to 400 kilometres.
Large electric commercial vehicles often do not have a large range. The most recent version of the electric Renault Master E-Tech Electric squeezes up to 200 kilometers from its battery pack. Mercedes-Benz has had an electric variant of the Sprinter on its menu for over two years now. The electric eSprinter kicks it up to an electric range of 142 kilometers. Not a huge range for that eSprinter either, but fortunately there is now one that has been thoroughly improved. Meet the renewed Mercedes-Benz eSprinter, which has a WLTP range of up to 400 kilometres.
The new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter therefore does not wring those 400 kilometers from a small battery pack. In fact, the battery in the new eSprinter is truly gigantic. Mercedes-Benz speaks of a net capacity of 113 kWh. Mercedes-Benz is not yet sharing extensive technical specifications. We do know that there will be different variants of the new eSprinter. The eSprinter will be available with 136 hp and 204 hp electric motors that send their forces to the rear axle. In addition to the 113 kWh battery, there will also be versions with 56 kWh and 81 kWh of electric lung capacity. The battery pack is in the bottom to save space. Naturally, the eSprinter will be available in various lengths and probably also heights. Fast charging is possible with a maximum of 115 kW.
The first units of the renewed electric Mercedes-Benz eSprinter will arrive in Europe at the end of this year. These are closed order versions. The chassis-cab variant suitable for a superstructure will follow later, together with versions with smaller battery packs. Inside, the renewed Mercedes-Benz eSprinter benefits from the arrival of the latest MBUX software, among other things. Dutch prices are not yet available.
