“We used the Sprinter 311 CDI with automatic transmission as the basis for the new vehicle,” explains Karl-Heinz Keller of the Competence Center for Zero Emission Commercial Vehicles in Mannheim, Germany. “The Hybrid Sprinter’s electric motor, which is integrated into the powertrain between the transmission and the clutch, obtains its energy from a drive battery located underneath the vehicle floor.” This sophisticated setup for the additional drive unit means that the innovative van’s entire cargo area can be utilized without restrictions, which was a key factor in ensuring that the vehicle would be accepted by shipping companies.
