First sketch of new Sprinter from Mercedes-Benz

Mercedes-Benz has revealed first details of its next generation Sprinter van, in advance of its market launch in the first half of next year, writes Brian Byrne.

The sketch shows an evolution from the current vehicle which offers a strong design, and one distinctively Mercedes-Benz.

The van will have a wide range of driving assistance systems and connectivity services.

The company says it will also offer a much greater range of variants than the current Sprinter.

The nameplate was first launched in 1995. More than 3.3m units have been delivered since.
