“The global production of five million Sprinter vans and the celebration of the model’s 30th anniversary is a testament to its enduring success. This milestone reflects the dedication of our teams, the trust of our customers, and the continuous evolution of a vehicle that has defined the large van segment for three decades. We are proud of this legacy and excited for the future as we continue to drive progress in the van industry,” said Thomas Klein, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans.

FedEx is one of the largest global customers of Mercedes-Benz Vans, using the Sprinter and eSprinter models primarily for interurban and last-mile delivery services in North America, Europa, Asia-Pacific and South America.

The five-millionth Sprinter joins the FedEx U.S. fleet, deploying the eSprinter in four states.

“As our network has evolved and grown over the years, vans from Mercedes-Benz, including the Sprinter and, now the eSprinter, have been there to meet our needs and help us deliver the reliable and superior service that our customers expect,” said Pat Donlon, Vice President, Global Vehicles, FedEx.
