Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans Serve A New Purpose

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van has taken on an important role. The Dutch police signed a framework agreement last year for 300 new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Vans. Before signing the framework agreement for the 300 vans, the authority put the Sprinter through thorough testing. It demonstrated its high overall quality and outstanding driving dynamics thanks to the 7G-TRONIC seven-speed transmission with torque converter. This automatic unit provides for smooth power transmission accompanied by reduced fuel consumption. In addition, the Sprinter’s small turning circle enables maximum flexibility and simple handling; even when little space is available for maneuvering. The Sprinter can also accommodate eight police officers! The Dutch police’s Sprinter are fitted out with state-of-the-art technical equipment, such as the National Operational Network System, which enables live images to be received from a police helicopter. The Position Monitoring System is employed for communications with the command center. The Sound Commander enables the police officers to put out announcements to crowds up to 500 meters away from the vehicle. The scope of equipment also includes white blinder lamps on the roof. The conversion measures have been carried out among others together with the Dutch VanPartner by Mercedes-Benz VDL Bus Venlo bv. Not only did Mercedes-Benz Vans create the ability to do the above, they also created 300 Sprinter Vans to feature white paintwork to ensure that they are immediately recognizable as police vehicles; equipped with red and blue stripes as well as sirens.

We are thrilled to see Mercedes-Benz working with the community!
