WELCOME TO MERCEDES-BENZ VANS, LLC (MBV) Mercedes-Benz Vans, LLC (“MBV”) is a plant in Ladson, South Carolina that assembles Sprinter vans for the U.S. and Canadian market. The midsize Mercedes-Benz Metris vans are also reassembled at this location.

The definitive source for all the details about your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the factory window sticker, sometimes called the Monroney sticker. You should have received this document when you took delivery of the van from the dealer (it's required by federal law).

Mercedes-Benz Group AG The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a light commercial vehicle (van) built by Mercedes-Benz Group AG of Stuttgart, Germany as a large van, chassis cab, minibus, and pickup truck.

A Sprinter Van is a Class B motorhome that's constructed from a Mercedes-Benz® Sprinter® Van chassis. Unlike our Class C Sprinters, there are no cutouts or added sidewalls during the manufacturing process.

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van comes standard with a 2.1L turbo-diesel 4-cylinder engine, rated at 161 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque.

In the case of the Sprinter, they are actually all produced by Mercedes-Benz. Until recently they all arrived from Germany. They were broken-down into large components and shipped to the US where they were re-assembled (this avoids a very large tax penalty on importing finished trucks/vans into the US).

Sometimes you will hear "T1N", "NCV3", or "VS30" to describe a Sprinter van. The T1N (Transporter 1 Neu) is the first generation van 2002 to 2006 in the US, and only came with a 2.7 liter inline 5 cyl diesel. The NCV3 (New Concept Van 3) is the second generation van, 2007 to 2018, and came mostly with a 3.0 V-6 diesel.

Two Different Models: T1N vs NCV3: Improvements from the T1N to the latter NCV3 include tilt steering, a quieter and smoother ride, and an “updated” look (whatever that means). Despite these improvements however, the NCV3 is heavier, has lower fuel economy, and many dependability issues.

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is considered a dependable workhorse and one of the most popular vans by drivers. The Sprinter van runs on a diesel engine and can run over 300,000 miles. As long as you stay up on regular maintenance, this van will last you for a very long time.

First, if you have kids or want more than two seats in the van, a 170” WB Sprinter is almost always the best van. Next, consider how important a full-length bed is to you. Full-length beds do not fit horizontally in Sprinter vans; they must be oriented front to back.
