The tradition of leading innovation in the commercial vehicle segment continues with the 2015 Sprinter Van. The Model Year 2015 version of the award-winning van was built with you in mind, offering more of what you need to help drive your business forward.
Enhanced and refined—inside and out.
From the efficient 2-stage turbo diesel engine and 7-speed 7G-TRONIC transmission to the segment-leading active safety system packages and refined exterior and interior, the 2015 Sprinter will change your perception of what a commercial van can do for you—and how far your business can go.

The 2015 Sprinter lets you choose between two powerful and reliable engine/transmission combinations. The standard powertrain is the impressive OM651 4-cylinder with 7-speed 7G-TRONIC transmission. The OM651 has passed nearly 5 million miles of endurance testing under the harshest operating conditions. The OM642 V6 with 5-speed transmission has already proven itself on the road and will remain available as an option.

OM651 2-Stage Turbo Diesel Engine
Effortlessly combine the benefits of turbocharged power, diesel fuel economy and durability in one compact package. The advanced OM651 2-stage turbo diesel engine is standard on all Sprinter Van models and features:
-161 hp at 3,800 rpm
-265 lb-ft of torque across a broad rpm range
-Two overhead camshafts/4 valves per cylinder
-No turbo lag, due to 2-stage exhaust gas turbocharging system
-Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) system for cleaner emissions
The OM651's 265 lb-ft of torque starts at a low 1,400 rpm, giving you ample pulling power when the light turns green, when merging onto a highway, and especially under a load. A combination of exhaust gas recirculation with two-stage cooling and the SCR technology with AdBlue® injection for the BlueTEC® engines and a particulate filter ensures clean exhaust emissions. The OM651 also delivers up to 18%25 better fuel economy over the superior efficiency of the optional 6-cylinder/5-speed combination.

Can a transmission reduce interior noise? Or lower the total cost of vehicle ownership? The standard 7-speed 7G-TRONIC transmission does all that and more. This technologically advanced transmission is the first of its kind in the segment and has been refined for maximum output and fuel efficiency. Like the outstanding optional 5-speed/6-cylinder combination, the 7G-TRONIC's shift points are perfectly mated to the OM651 diesel engine's power output.
BlueEFFICIENCY
BlueEFFICIENCY is the term that encompasses all the fuel-saving and emission-reducing efforts Mercedes-Benz uses on the vehicle, powertrain and ancillary components. The engineers took that concept to the next level when they reviewed virtually every aspect of the 2015 Sprinter's operation. As a result, BlueEFFICIENCY is further optimized with cutting-edge features.

Big horsepower numbers are certainly impressive. But for a commercial vehicle, it's all about torque. Simply put, horsepower is the speed of an engine, while torque is the measurement of the force an engine creates. Imagine moving a 10-pound weight one foot with the force (torque) of your arm. Horsepower would be how fast you can move it, while torque is how easily you can move it. The more torque you have, the easier it will be to move the weight. It's the same principle when you step on the gas. The more torque that's available, the easier it will be to pull a trailer or get the vehicle up and moving with a full load of cargo on board.
