Sprinter presented as 4.6-tonner and as electric vehicle

At the first "Mondial du Transport Routier" commercial vehicle show in Paris, Mercedes-Benz presents the Sprinter, introduced in early 1995, in a 4.6-tonne version and as an electrically powered vehicle with the model designation 308 E. Serving as energy accumulator for the 33 kW three-phase asynchronous motor in the Sprinter 308 E is a lead-gel battery designed for 600 charging cycles. Alternatively, the Sprinter 308 E also is available with a more powerful high-energy battery from AEG.
