30 Years and 5 Million Units: Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Celebrates Global Milestone
Mercedes-Benz Vans is marking a historic achievement in the automotive world with the production of its five-millionth Sprinter, a feat that highlights three decades of innovation, reliability, and unmatched versatility. The milestone vehicle – an all-electric eSprinter – was assembled at the brand’s U.S. facility in Charleston, South Carolina, and officially delivered to global logistics giant FedEx. This handover not only represents the Sprinter’s impact on global logistics and transportation but also signals the next chapter in the brand’s push toward sustainable mobility.
FedEx and the eSprinter: Driving Toward a Greener Future
FedEx, a long-time Mercedes-Benz Vans partner, has been an instrumental figure in the Sprinter’s journey across the U.S. and global markets. Now, as the courier company adopts the eSprinter in four U.S. states, it continues to support environmentally conscious transportation. The all-electric van joins FedEx’s growing fleet of sustainable vehicles, reinforcing the Sprinter’s pivotal role in modern commercial logistics.
The Charleston plant, Mercedes-Benz’s only van production site in North America, has grown significantly to meet this rising demand. Since its opening in 2006, and through a major expansion in 2018, the facility has embraced advanced manufacturing technologies including driverless transport and AI-assisted training tools—cementing its place in the brand’s global production network.
A Legacy of Excellence: From the T1 to the Modern Sprinter
Launched in 1995, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter was introduced as the successor to the TN (T1) series, reshaping the commercial van segment with its aerodynamic design, superior performance, and pioneering safety features like ABS and ESP. With every generation, Mercedes-Benz has elevated the Sprinter’s reputation. The second generation (2006) expanded its utility with more body configurations, while the third generation (2018) introduced cutting-edge telematics, the MBUX infotainment system, and a suite of digital tools to turn the Sprinter into a fully connected mobile workspace.
Today, the Sprinter offers more than 1,000 configurations, covering everything from long-haul transport to passenger shuttles and luxury camper vans. Customers benefit from options like front-wheel drive, nine-speed automatic transmission, and now, fully electric powertrains. These advancements make the Sprinter not just a van—but a mobile solution for any professional or recreational need.
