At 150,000 km this advantage triples to around 750 to 2250 litres. This fuel saving spells striking financial advantages for high-mileage operators: for an annual mileage of 50,000 km, and depending on the model, the new-generation Sprinter saves between around 250 and 750 litres of fuel per year. The new engines in the OM 651 series will initially be introduced in Sprinter versions registered as trucks. In fact the new engine will tolerate a proportion of ten percent (B10). Once the trailer begins to snake, ESP trailer stabilisation brakes the front wheels and reduces the engine torque. The power of the Sprinter also provides the ideal preconditions for trailer operation. As before, Mercedes-Benz favours a wire-controlled gearshift system with an ergonomic joystick-type shift lever in the dashboard for the Sprinter. The ESP warning lamp in the dashboard informs the driver that intervention is taking place. ESP trailer stabilisation uses the yaw rate sensor of ESP to recognise sinusoidal oscillations around the vertical axis of the vehicle, and initiates counteraction with active braking intervention. The brake light flash rather than merely light up during the critical braking manoeuvre, thereby warning traffic behind in hazardous situations. You’ll find all the leading-edge safety features in the Cabriolet that you would in the sedan, including the Collision Prevention Assist Plus system that can autonomously brake at speeds of up to 65 mph and completely avoid rear-end collisions at up to 25 mph.
The electronic stability control (ESC), improves the safety of a vehicle's stability by detecting and minimizing skids. This function increases safety during emergency braking. So misted-up or frozen exterior mirrors are now a thing of the past - another improvement in safety. Now the mirror is capable of even more: if the customer chooses the option "Heated and electrically adjustable exterior mirror", the wide-angle mirror is now also heated. Mercedes Benz Sprinter of Windsor was established in 1985. It is part of the Rafih Auto Group, a network of car dealerships across Southwestern Ontario and is overseen by Terry Rafih, who has been a leader and innovator in the auto industry since the early 1980’s. The model for Rafih’s business was top quality pricing, repair and customer service. The rear drive axles for the Sprinter have remained generally unchanged, and the final drive ratios are also the same as in the previous models.
They are now integrated into the front bumper in all models - as was already the case for the Sprinter with passenger car registration or xenon headlamps. The Sprinter Mini Bus features the standard 7G-TRONIC 7-speed automatic transmission and is the only minibus in its class to offer the efficiency, smooth running characteristics and ride comfort of a passenger car. Both seating types are available in a wide range of attractive upholstery designs from the Mercedes-Benz Bus and Coach Collection. After a brief drive in the four cylinder version, it feels perfectly capable assuming loads are not too extreme. Other technical highlights include four overhead camshafts driven by a duplex chain and common-rail injection with piezo-electric injectors and eight-hole nozzles. The generally low engine sped level and the numerous technical innovations considerably reduce both exhaust emissions and fuel consumption. Compared to previous transmissions, the most noticeable difference is the slightly lower first gear ratio and the roughly 15 percent higher sixth gear ratio, which is a precondition for keeping the engine speed low even when driving at higher speeds. The new transmission makes for generally much lower engine speeds in the interests of low fuel consumption and great economy. The difference is even greater in the case of the V6 CDI: depending on the configuration, a lower NEDC consumption by up to 1.5 litres per 100 km is achievable.
A 180-degree parking view and trailer zoom can help even more. Even more significantly, the flexibility so important in practical operations has improved greatly. These videos would be more helpful if we knew what tires they are using. More and more van drivers are using their own mobile electronic devices, for example navigation systems or MP3 players. These racks have easy-to-use torsion systems that secure the ladder into place to perfection. People live in some seriously remote locations, and they need to have packages delivered.
