Which van was recently voted “Van of the Year 2013” in Russia?
According to the sales data I had read and recently posted on, Ford is the big player in America as far as commercial van sales go, but does that ring true for other markets around the world?
I just stumbled upon a post on Daimler’s global media website that gives us a better insight on which van sells best in Russia. Can you guess which one it is based on these clues: This full-size van model made its debut in 1995, there are manufacturing plants in Düsseldorf and Ludwigsfelde, Germany, Charleston, South Carolina, González Catan, Argentina, and Fuzhou, China, it can be seen as a background vehicle in the Disney-Pixar movie Cars 2, and available body styles include: Panel Van, Traveliner, Chassis Cab and Dropside. Oh and its slogan is "Every inch the consummate professional".
Wow, you guys are good. Yes, it is indeed the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Having been voted “Van of the Year 2013” in Russia, the Sprinter van has won the country’s largest nationwide automotive competition for the third time in a row. Commenting on the success and complimenting the Sprinters world wide appeal, Volker Mornhinweg, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans said, "Due to the vehicle’s wide range of variants and areas of application, customers all over the world can adapt the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter to their specific needs. In a sense, you could say that the Sprinter also ‘speaks Russian.” He added, “The title ‘Van of the Year’ gives us another boost in Europe’s fastest-growing van market, where we are currently preparing local production of the Sprinter Classic with our partner GAZ”.
The competition was held by Russia’s leading automotive publications with over 1.3 million people taking part in the Russia-wide survey.
