The new-generation Sprinter is a true transformation artist and allows a huge variety of options. New features such as the front-wheel drive and digital networking vastly simplify work for courier fleets. For example, the fleet manager and drivers can exchange messages sent directly to the vehicle via smartphone app. The analysis options offered by the new Sprinter also optimise courier services – this enables, for example, the digital logs of different drivers to be compared.
