A significant part of the investment by Mercedes-Benz Vans in 2017 will be for the on-going modernisation and expansion of the worldwide production network - especially in view of preparations for the new models. This year the division will invest approximately 260 million euros at the German Sprinter plants in Düsseldorf and Ludwigsfelde alone.

Volker Mornhinweg, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans, "We are positioned better today than ever before. This is due to our outstanding worldwide team as well as a first-class portfolio of vehicles and services. Now is the right time to make investments in our future."
