Mercedes-Benz has trialled the use of an electric eSprinter van with its Service24h breakdown cover programme.
The two-month pilot saw an eSprinter based at Northside Truck and Van in Bradford used to attend more than 160 roadside callouts on a 24-hour shift rotation.
Mercedes-Benz Vans UK customer services director Simon Neill said: “Growing our electric footprint in our Service24h vehicles is something we’re extremely proud of.
“We know our customers expect the best from the three-pointed star, especially when it comes to aftersales and our extensive assistance programme and our electric vehicles are proven to meet those standards.”
Northside aftersales director Gavin Hewitt said: “Participating in this trial proved everything we know about the eSprinter. Its power and reliability allowed us to continue to meet our targets when it came to roadside assistance and we look forward to adding more to our Service24h fleet in the future.”
