I mentioned recently that the new Mercedes-Benz ECO-Start system was being fitted to a number of new Sprinter vans supplied to van hire giant Northgate plc.

Mercedes appear to be pushing had to promote this fuel-saving technology and to ensure that everyone gets a chance to try it out have now put into a service a demo fleet of 50 vans. There is at least one ECO-Start Sprinter at every Mercedes-Benz van dealer in the UK – so if you want to give one a try, you shouldn’t have far to travel.

Thanks to TNN for the tip.
