The Sprinter with BlueEFFICIENCY package

Our goal is to ensure your mobility in as economical and sustainable a manner as possible for the future. We group together under the term BlueEFFICIENCY all those innovations that help make this objective possible: intelligently combined measures aimed at reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions.

The Sprinter with the BlueEFFICIENCY package proves just how well this works. In particular in urban distribution transport, the interaction of the ECO start-stop function a frugal diesel engine and further components ensures an appreciable reduction in fuel consumption and emissions – compared with the CDI diesel engines not equipped with the efficiency package by up to 0.5 l/100 km (OM 651) or 0.3 l/100 km (OM 642).

Legendary low fuel consumption

In its most frugal variant, powered by a 4-cylinder diesel engine, ECO Gear manual transmission, efficiency package and an optional rear-axle ratio of 3.692, the Sprinter with commercial vehicle registration, impresses with a fuel consumption of just 7.0 litres per 100 km (combined). The CO2 emission level is 184 g/km (combined).
