Freightliner Spinter; Work Vehicle

Freightliner is setting up its new Sprinter Van Dealership Network and has signed up 50 of its current Freightliner outlets to sell these new vans. You may have seen these new shaped work vans, Fed Ex has bought quite a few. Freightliner a DaimlerChrysler company is going after the already intense 450,000-unit a year Full Size Work Van Market. They will be competing with other market share winners like Ford, GM and Dodge their own van network.

They plan on setting up 150-160 dealers by years end and they are already well on their way of reaching and implementing that lofty strategic sales goal. Perhaps you may wish to buy a few as units for your small or medium sized business? The van claims oil changes every 10,000 miles and over 22 mpg with a GVW of over 15,000 lbs. Very impressive economy and excellent cost savings on preventative maintenance costs.

We will see if Freightliner can get itself out of the gutter as they have had layoffs and financial performance issues during the last recession with all the trade in short term leases. There are still some 42,000 used trucks rusting away in hibernation like many of the old airliners lined up in the desert. I talked to a route driver who drives a Freightliner Sprinter and he says; “the gas mileage is cool, awesome.” He also said; “when you get on the pedal it really accelerates good,” which makes him happy when he needs to get over a lane in heavy traffic. He said; “the turning radius needs to be better, but over all it is a great van.” He drove for Fed Ex and said it is stable and no worries about top siding or rolling over like a Ford Explorer, He said it’s payload could be better and he thought it was not as good as the Grumman Vans they drive, but preferred this Sprinter to it due to performance. He said it also had reasonable viability.

If you are looking for a work van, you might wish to really consider the new Freightliner Sprinter with its easy financing terms and excellent performance.
