Wide variety of models: up to 16 natural-gas variants of the Mercedes
Sprinter, for example, are available from the Mercedes-Benz
Production Competence Centre for Natural Gas Drive in Mannheim. Offering three wheelbases, four lengths, three roof heights and
permissible gross vehicle weight between 3.0 and 5.0 tonnes, the
Sprinter caters for all the requirements in its class.
Mercedes-Benz has gone for a bivalent drive on the Sprinter NGT. The
basic engine, a four-cylinder unit with a displacement of 1.8 litres,
will also run on petrol, extending the range up to 1200 kilometres.
The natural gas-powered Sprinter is fitted with
a six-speed manual transmission as standard, and comes with the option
of a driver-friendly torque converter.
The gas tanks are installed beneath the floor to
save space and avoid restricting the cargo load at all. The 3.5-tonne
Sprinter can accommodate up to six tanks that hold a maximum of 46 kg
or a volume of 294 litres. The model with a gross vehicle weight of 5.0
tonnes uses three tanks that hold 39 kg or 246 litres.
The Sprinter NGT was introduced to Australia early 2010.
