Start-Stop to be standard on Sprinter vans

Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

From next month (June), Start-Stop technology is to be added as a standard fitment on all Mercedes-Benz Sprinters sold in Ireland, writes Trish Whelan.

With the addition of this new feature as standard, the new Sprinter (already WLTP compliant) is to the forefront in matters relating to fuel savings and emissions reduction.

SIMI warns that the Motor Industry and the motorist are facing the greatest change in taxation since 2009 which undermined both new and used car sales by being too ambitious and seeking to implement change too quickly.
