John Kendall, Van Fleet World Editor and one of the judges for the Great British Fleet Awards, said: “The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter remains a firm favourite with fleet buyers thanks to its available combination of three roof heights and four lengths as well as conversions, chassis cab and crew cab options. It was the UK’s best-selling large van in 2020 and it’s easy to see why. Front or rear wheel drive as well as automatic transmission options, a range of driver assistance, safety and connectivity features provide customers with a wide range of choices. Add in the availability of an electric model in the past year and the Sprinter really offers something for all fleets. Sprinter has long been a favourite with drivers too, thanks to its ride comfort and smooth engines.”
Andy Lawson, Sales Director, Mercedes-Benz Vans UK, commented: “The Sprinter has particularly proven its worth during this past year, supporting the van community in keeping the country moving during a time of crisis, so to once again receive the Large Van of the Year at the Great British Fleet Awards reflect is a huge honour, and one which we’re delighted to accept. We’re hugely thankful that our customers continue to put their investment and trust into the Sprinter to ensure that their business continues to run smoothly, especially at times like these.”
