freightliner sprinter van history 1995

  • 1995 The first-generation
    Sprinter Van launches in Europe.

  • 2001 The Sprinter Cargo Van and Sprinter
    Passenger Van models officially launch in
    the United States under the Freightliner
    brand.

Freightliner was founded in 1930 with one mission: help workers get the job done. Pretty simple. Since then, we’ve become North America’s leading medium and heavy-duty commercial vehicle manufacturer. Today, Freightliner continues to lead the way with the introduction of the 4x4 Freightliner Sprinter — once again helping you get an edge on the competition.

2 No system, regardless of how advanced, can overcome the laws of physics or correct careless driving. Please always wear your seat belt. Performance is limited by available traction, which snow, ice, and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Best performance in snow is obtained with winter tires.
3 Crosswind Assist can engage automatically when sensing dangerous wind gusts at highway speeds exceeding 50 mph. Performance is limited by wind severity and available traction, which snow, ice, and other conditions can affect. Always drive carefully, consistent with conditions. Feature not available on 3500 and 3500XD models.
6 Requires the use of ultra-low-sulfur diesel fuel. Freightliner Sprinters are approved to use B5 biodiesel (approved diesel fuel with a maximum 5% biodiesel content) in all engines. The only approved biodiesel content is one that both meets ASTM D6751 specifications and has the oxidation stability necessary to prevent deposit–/ corrosion-related damages to the system (min. 6h, proven by EN14112 method). Please see your service station for further information. If the B5 biodiesel blend does not clearly indicate that it meets the above standards, please do not use it. The Freightliner Vans New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover damage caused by fuel standards not approved by Freightliner Vans.
