Mercedes-Benz Vans UK celebrates once again, with a double honours at the 2016 VansA2Z Awards for Minibus of the Year and 4x4 Panel Van of the Year.

This marks the fifth consecutive year that Sprinter has been awarded the 4x4 Panel Van title, and the third consecutive for Minibus of the Year, highlighting the versatility of this iconic van.

Neil McIntee, Editor of VansA2Z, said of the Minibus title win: “Mercedes has covered just about every base when it comes to occupant safety in the superb Sprinter Traveliner minibus range.”

And commenting on the 4x4 Panel Van honour, Neil added: “Sprinter 4x4 is the ideal solution for transporting up to six people, tools and equipment to isolated locations in complete safety.”

Steve Bridge, Managing Director, Mercedes-Benz Vans UK, commented: “We are once again delighted to be honoured at the VansA2Z Awards with two titles which sum up the versatility of the Sprinter – whether it is moving goods or people, over motorways or over muddy fields, the Sprinter is the van up to the task.

“Our customers also tell us that our nationwide Dealer Network offering out-of-hours servicing, coupled with our free MobiloVan roadside assistance, provides them with the comfort and security of knowing they will have the maximum amount of uptime, keeping them and their business moving, so to receive this praise both from customers and the industry, confirms that the Sprinter is the right van for the job.”

Last year team Mud Life were invited to the Mercedes-Benz’s VanExperience Live that was held Millbrook Testing Facility near Milton Keynes. We had a ball and learnt first hand how good the Sprinter is, on and off-road.  To read our report, click here.
