It was also the most successful year of all time for the Sprinter: in the year of its 20th anniversary, sales rose to a record-breaking 194 200 units. The Sprinter now operates in more than 130 countries. But we are not going to stop there: the Vito is also developing into a true “world van”. It is now available in over 65 markets, most recently in Latin America and the USA too. The V-Class has also been extremely well received by the market: around 30 700 units were sold worldwide in 2015, an increase of 20 per cent over the previous year. All activities fit in with our “Mercedes-Benz Vans goes global” strategy. This year we are beginning with the construction of our new Sprinter plant in the US city of Charleston. Investment volume: half a billion US dollars. We are also eagerly awaiting the launch of our mid-size vans in China. This move means that we will be producing our vans globally in this segment in Spain, Argentina, the USA and China. The Citan also contributed to our success last year. Our urban delivery van has undergone a number of new developments – buzzphrase: Euro 6 introduction. We will inform you about the further developments regarding the Citan and its “big brothers” Vito and Sprinter on the occasion of the upcoming IAA Commercial Vehicles. You can look forward to a whole host of innovations! Yours, Volker Mornhinweg Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans 6 Daimler at a Glance Daimler AG is one of the world’s most successful automotive companies.
