the only music it needs it already has! an engine hard at work

[@RistoEranen]

@petrocelly Just in case you didn't know. MB Sprinter has intelligent ESP system. Whenever you start your delivery round, the vehicle measures the weigh and also if you loaded it evenly. In case of an emergency breaking an/or yielding another vehicle, the esp knows how the stabilize the vehicle. I have tested that many times in safe conditions (closed area).

[@sprinter977]

Nice video ! i think this is a funny job to test a Sprinter for work :-) this video do not need music, i want to hear the symphony of the Sprinter engine :-)

[@frankfitzpatrick5300]

Watch the tires roll over on their sidewalls while turning . Good tire & wheel pkge. & a Hellwig rear sway bar is a MUST on these Sprinter vans. ESPECIALLY if there carrying a load or converted to live in & live with both safely and comfortably on the road .

[@Xantec]

@PIEFISHCAT its a mercedes benz collaboration with Volkswagen (evertthing from the front doors to the back is shared with the VW crafter, only the wings and front pannels are different), in the United States, it is sold as a dodge and as a Freightliner, BUT they're still made in the MB/VW plant in germany.

[@myvan]

Saw that van in the van experience in UK. Without the concrete in the trunk the car would have lot less grip

[@myvan]

Look for "Actros". Like the black-white liner

[@Adrian-Ionut]

@petrocelly when the van is loaded the center of gravity is lower => harder to flip over...well that depends on what it is loaded with

[@trumpet12345]

seatbelts- volvo, look up nils bohlin ABS-French aircraft engineer in 1920's-Gabriel Voisin Airbags- merc works on it in 1967 due to mandates for 1969, designs and patents belong to others as far back as 1952. ESP- known by a several names, was indeed worked on before Merc by BMW. Merc and the engineers and inventors of those safety system did have patents in one form or another. How everyone assumes they don't is baffling.

[@SecularTechnology]

@Kerackles Well for this argument I'll let you have that, but I'd have to see more statistics. But you also have to keep in mind that the Sprinter is 7 to 10 grand more than the Express, or the E-Series.

[@Bounty_Hunter84]

i drive one of these vans and for a big 2 ton van unladen they can really handle well. that takes skill do do whats hes doing.

[@tony12345pl]

DODGE sprinters are awsome

[@myvan]

some music along eith the vidoe whould have been nice

[@SecularTechnology]

@Kerackles The 154 Hp gets 24mpg, so I doubt the 188 Hp would get the same. I can stand up in the Express with an aftermarket roof. (6'3) Sprinter (6'4).

[@elforto53]

in which country the vehicle is manufactured?

[@Bevoin1970]

Im laughing, just read your comment. In real life those cones are replaced by slow cars, old jotters, cyclists and pedestrians... thats normal everyday van driving for a courier, especially one thats running behind schedule... :-) I agree with petrocelly, try doing this with a loaded up van and see what happens...

[@leonardo220390]

yes man.... u r right... if the van is loaded is not the same think...

[@petrocelly]

thats nice when the van is empty, load it with some weight and then see how it flips

[@SecularTechnology]

@Kerackles Dude, lol you screwed up big time. The van you are thinking if is the Ford Transit CONNECT. Europe has there own Transit Thats just as large as the Sprinter. They don't sell it in the US

[@Dizaynspeed]

Lots of bmw funs here

[@Hesam0000]

@Stubba1961 Wrong title. They meant Stability-testing.

[@SecularTechnology]

@Kerackles Really have you tested it?

[@jaffacake1578]

a transit could do that it's not the only van, plus transit are faster

[@jaffacake1578]

@Kerackles wtf are you on about, i don't have a transit, so how could i try it

[@ScottaHemi440]

lol i didn't think the sprinter could run the slalum :p it's so tall it makes me think it'll just tip over.

[@SecularTechnology]

@Kerackles Uhh. Dude. If you live in the U.S. and you're arguing speed for Full-Sized vans you will lose badly. The highest-power engine option is the 3L Diesel Producing 188Hp, and 325 Lb.-Ft. of torque And if you have an older one, it's a lot weaker than that. Chevy Express by comparison with it's standard engine option produces 323hp, and diesel 550 Lb.-Ft of torque. It's no wonder why Sprinter is commonly criticized for it's sluggish highway performance. Though acceleration is okay.

[@BigKarliny]

at 1:00 you can see how tires almost unmounting lol

[@EnjoyFirefighting]

even with the load being in the upper part of the Sprinter it's still not that easy to roll it. Even the Sprinter ambulances, which really are quite heavy in the rear, might just have a tire in the air, but don't flip (well not that easily)

[@caraccidentlawyers4u]

How does this Sprinter Benz compare in safety and handling to other commercial vans in its class?

[@TheLlorensu]

i want to see the truck version...

[@The442nd]

@petrocelly, "ADAPTIVE ESP"

[@trumpet12345]

O, and I forgot DRINK THE BLEEACCCH. It is cleansing.

[@3DPeter]

@petrocelly yeah but american vans do flip already without a load, so what's your point? Anything american on wheels is good in a straight line, but when it comes to corners, it sucks big time.

[@3DPeter]

@Antiinequity your friend should learn to drive, because you have to go real crazy to get an accident in a deliveryvan, especially a mercedes sprinter because they are the best and most safe vans in the world. i own a old 95' 312 and i never had major problems with it, and here in europe there are mercedes vans from 30 years old that still drive like new ones, so that says enough about mercedes.

[@myvan]

Haha...Where is the mercedes Fan community??? :-)

[@geisterbahn1]

@elforto53 Hawaii !

[@Stubba1961]

Its a 5 minute video of a van weaving round some cones!!! If they want safety testing they should run it up and down the M6 on an average day Bored now.

[@Dizaynspeed]

Dude. Mercedes is the inventor of Crumble zone, the inventor of Seat Belts, the inventor of ABS ( Anti-Lock Brakes), the İnventor of Airbags. And so on. The inventor of EPS. Mercedes didnt take any patent of the innovations i mentioned above. Because why Mercedes cares human life. Mercedes says take we will not take patent for our safety innovations because we want everyone to use it. So SHUT UP. BMW did what? they are just using Mercedes innovations.

[@ninjaboypo]

onli 2 good things[the hight and fuel consmption,the rest is garbadge

[@superkarl2008]

@elforto53 China

[@trumpet12345]

Yeah I know such a surprise is generally met with things like denial, rage, etc... might as well get it all out now, I'm your daddy. Correction, I said that to the following members of your family that is applies to: mother, aunt, sister, sister in law, postal carrier, neighbor, wife, garden hose, and bag of golf clubs.

[@Dizaynspeed]

Just watch watch?v=aSuqY8NxOGo&feature=related if you want to see some Mercedes Travego safety innovations. And its full of HUMAN.
