Mercedes-Benz vans have dominated the Trade Van Driver Awards 2016 in the UK.
Announced at the Commercial Vehicle (CV) show, Mercedes-Benz went home with three awards – Best Large Van for Sprinter, Best Midsize Combi Van for the Vito crew van, and Best Lifestyle/Business Van for the new Vito Sport.
Matthew Eisenegger, Editor of Trade Van Driver, said the Mercedes-Benz product is hard to beat.
“Yet again the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the judges’ choice, both on build quality and the exceptional warranty, which make it a firm favourite.
“For the professional trades, the Vito really does bring together a functional commercial vehicle with a well-thought-out people carrier, offering a robust and practical solution to the safe movement of people, goods and equipment.
“For companies that really want the benefits of a hard-working top-class van and a luxury car, the Vito Sport offers the ideal solution.”
Steve Bridge, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Vans UK, welcomed the accolades.
“This is the fifth year in a row that Sprinter has collected the award for Best Large Van – it has held this title for every year that the Trade Van Driver Awards has been in existence, which is a fantastic achievement.
“The three awards we have won really highlight the versatility of our range of vehicles, proving that whatever the requirements, we have the right vehicle for the job.”
