An Innovative Way To Use A Sprinter Van: Mobile Bank

Mercedes-Benz paired up with a Frankfurt-based company to create the exclusive mobile bank body. Stuttgart/Göppingen is the first mobile bank branch by Göppingen Savings Bank. The mobile bank brings local banking directly to customers, even in remote locations. The distinctive bright red vehicle has been driving around the area of Göppingen since last November and has everything on board that people need for their everyday banking.

“We’ve never once regretted choosing a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and our employees who drive it are very satisfied. It’s almost a shame that we only ever drive short distances. I have to admit that the way the vehicle handles has really surprised me. Despite the extra weight it needs to carry, the engine packs a real punch, even in the lower rev range,” says Ingo Putschkat, deputy head of the building and fleet management department at Göppingen Savings Bank.

The employees who drive the Mercedes-Benz feel well protected due to the bullet-proof glass using a push-button-operated swiveling door and the same kind of retractable access steps that are used in buses. Also, there is an intercom system installed along with a steel drawer for passing items back and forth. The Mercedes-Benz lithium-ion batteries that charge overnight power all the office and communications technology as well as the lighting and air conditioning, all day long and without the need for an additional generator.
