In the run-up to its “130 Years of Transportation” anniversary, Mercedes‑Benz Vans is drawing an exciting parallel from the past to the future: with the presentation of the world’s oldest roadworthy delivery van, a Benz combinations delivery vehicle, and a current eSprinter, the inventor of the van looks back on its unique success story that started in 1896. It’s a history full of customer-specific transport solutions. Mercedes‑Benz vans have always been intended as rock-solid dependable business tools. And this will remain the case in future. The company emphasises this with the unveiling of “THE BOuLDER” – an impressive and expressive stone-look sculpture. It offers a first glimpse of how Mercedes‑Benz is reinventing the van once again while retaining its core values – robustness, reliability, versatility and durability. The 650‑centimetre-long, 275‑centimetre-high and 250‑centimetre-wide sculpture combines art and craftsmanship in a fascinating way and offers a preview of the next generation of the Sprinter. Milled from a solid piece of material, the first outlines and design details of the future Sprinter begin to emerge. They give an idea of the upcoming unique exterior design, which is geared towards the diverse needs and requirements of commercial customers. Furthermore, the sculpture conveys an impression of the dimensions of the future Mercedes‑Benz van.
