These are just some of the key factors that contribute to the Sprinter being the most dominant player in the large van segment.” Despite the engines on offer in South Africa adhering to Euro 5 emissions standards – owing to the unavailability of appropriate fuel – the Sprinter still boasts operating the cleanest engine in the large van segment. “But it is not just thanks to its frugal fuel consumption that our Sprinter van is top of the class in the large vans segment.
