The new 2015 Mercedes-Benz Vito<\/p><\/div>\n

The Mercedes-Benz Vito has picked up its first UK trade award before it’s even been seen on UK roads.<\/p>\n

The new Vito, which was launched on 14 April at the CV Show in Birmingham, has been awarded the Trade Van Driver\u00a0<\/em>magazine\u00a0Best Newcomer\u00a0award.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the award, the magazine’s editor, Matthew Eisenegger, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch is the might of its bigger brother the Sprinter, the Vito has always been rather overlooked in the medium van sector. However, a new model launched this year sees the Vito take the limelight with fresh looks and a host of improved features.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Unsurprisingly, the Sprinter picked up\u00a0Trade Van Driver<\/em>‘s Best Large Van award again, making it the fourth consecutive year that the large German van has been selected as a winner\u00a0by the judging panel.<\/p>\n

Matthew Eisenegger, Editor, Trade Van Driver<\/em> Magazine, commented: \u201cThe legendary build quality and class-leading safety systems offered by the three-pointed star have led to a string of awards for the Sprinter over the years. And the applause goes on \u2013 for the fourth year running the Sprinter takes the prize in this hotly-contested sector.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’ve often<\/a> commented<\/a> on operators’ slavish loyalty<\/a> to the might Sprinter: clearly\u00a0this driver-focused magazine gets the same feedback!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
