Why? Because with just one day gone from the new year their employees managed to sell 1300 Sprinter vans.

As you’d expect, this sort of order doesn’t come from a single person, but a fleet operating company. The contract Mercedes landed came from Germany’s Deutsche Post DHL service.

According to the press release, DHL chose the Mercedes Sprinter because of its great coverage of a wide array of crucial areas. The 2011 Mercedes Sprinter achieves class leading durability, fuel economy and emission strictness.

The roof has been heightened so that standing up and going in the back is easier. There is a low loading access door and plenty of extra comfort and ergonomics options for the interior.

The actual sale took place at one of the Mercedes-Benz dealerships for Cologne and Leverkusen in Frechen.
