Lightweight Carbon Chassis – Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
The user advantages of lightweight composites:
- > 1.450kg payload
- Interior dimensions of box body (lxwxh): 4.360 x 2.100 x 2.250 mm
- Entry height of box body (unloaded/loaded): 637 / 537 mm
- Fewer vehicles & drivers for the same payload
- Only driving license class B (GVW 3.5t) necessary
- 4-6 % fuel and CO2 reduction per vehicle
- Significantly reduced fleet consumption
- Larger box bodies due to lower chassis
The manufacturer’s advantages of lightweight composites:
- Lower consumption and positive C02 footprint
- Meet WLTP despite larger box bodies – due to low-floor chassis
- Larger wheelbases and box bodies
- Improved safety: 5x higher crash energy absorption than steel
- Release for commercial and leisure applications
- High fatigue strength
