Designing an all-electric van is something that Mercedes has been looking at. Recently, the brand announced plans to release an Urban eTruck – perfect for making deliveries in cities with it’s 124-mile range. The design of the future Sprinter could differ.

When could the all-electric Sprinter van be released?

Mercedes-Benz already has the all-new Sprinter van in the works, which means the all-electric powertrain would simply be an option in the model’s lineup.

As we stated earlier, this is not a guaranteed option – just one that could be appealing to businesses that wrack up a lot of mileage on deliveries.
