  • Brabus Business Lounge Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

    Brabus has unveiled their latest project based on the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with long wheelbase and high roof. The huge VAN has received an attractive exterior upgrade as well as an exclusive multimedia equipment

    The exterior boasts a new front bumper with integrated LED DRLs and a set of 8.0J x 18” Monoblock wheels fitted with high-performance Continental tires of size 255/55 R18. Other highlights include two Brabus exhaust pipes with hallmark design for sportier appearance.

    The interior is simply fantastic – fine leather passenger compartment with four business seats in a face-to-face arrangement and an additional third row of seats. The innovative communications concept of the vehicle integrates the passengers’ notebook or tablet computers into the media center of the vehicle independent of the technical platform.

    In addition, all four seats offer welcome amenities such as lumbar support, massage function, heating, ventilation, and are power-adjustable with three-position memory function.

    The third row of seats faces forward and consists of two individual seats with folding backrest. For times when more space for luggage or other items is needed, the seats can be removed.

    The genuine-wood floor is designed as a veneer without tongue and groove. There is also a new air conditioning system designed by German OEM Eberspächer. It has a heating output of 10 kW and a cooling output of 13 kW.

    There are 5” displays fitted at each seat in the cabin, eliminating the need for conventional switches in the passenger compartment. There is also an enormous 42” Full HD LCD screen integrated into the bulkhead behind the driver’s cab. For passengers seated in the two rear-facing seats there is a 10” display integrated into the center console between these two seats.

    The sound is reproduced with superb brilliance by a Dolby surround sound system with an output of 1,200 watts and loudspeakers tailored specifically to the van’s interior.

  • 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

    The new 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is ready to hit the market. The vehicle is put on tough, practical testing, which focuses on the key customer requirements of safety, economy and comfort.

    Some of the innovations include a 7-speed torque-converter automatic transmission. So, the new Sprinter is the first van in the world to be available with it. The fuel consumption is reduced even further by the BlueEFFICIENCY package and a higher axle ratio. Other very important technology is the standard fitted ESP – stability control program.

    Like all new components of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, these new features have to demonstrate their ability to withstand extreme testing in unforgiving conditions near the Arctic Circle.
    The testing program includes starting and running at minus 30 degrees Celsius and even lower. Everything is tested, from the cold-start of the engine equipped with the BlueEFFICIENCY package through the new 7-speed automatic gearbox and other control systems. Their sensors have to be tuned with absolute precision to ensure that the systems are always ready to intervene with corrective measures – regardless of how hostile the operating conditions may be.

    The fuel consumption is one of the most important features for the working vehicles. So the new Sprinter can be equipped with BlueEFFICIENCY package, which cuts it with 0.5 liters per 100 km. It comprises of the ECO start/stop function, tyres with reduced rolling resistance, the ECO power steering pump, alternator management and an electrically controlled fuel pump. The result is excellent – 7.4 liters per 100 km.

    Stay tuned for full specs and prices.
