    The injection pumps on the new Daimler-Benz van engines have automatic altitude adjustment. As the altitude increases, this system reduces the injection quantity at full throttle in accordance with the lower air density. This prevents the smoking of the exhaust which is familiar to those who drive in mountainous areas.

    In the new Mercedes-Benz T1 vans, the interior of the cab has been kept in pleasant shades of grey. The oddments tray is now fitted with a lockable lid. The logical design of the instrument panel has been retained. In combination with other features, the new centre console layer reduces the noise level inside the cab by up to 5 dB (A) compared to the predecessor models.

    The Mercedes-Benz T1 vans can be ready-fitted at the Düsseldorf factory with an electric step for the passenger or cargo space. When the sliding side door is opened, the step automatically extends, disappearing back under the floor when the door is closed again.

    Mercedes-Benz vans are designed for heavy trailer loads. The T1 series (gross vehicle weight rating 2.5 tonnes to 4.6 tonnes) can tow up to 2 tonnes (see picture) using a standard trailer coupling. With a special bracket-reinforced trailer coupling, braked trailers with a gross weight of up to 2.8 tonnes can be towed.

    Daimler-Benz provides a tailor-made van range with three model series. The crewbuses, for instance, offer a wide range of application possibilities, and they even include a bus version as well as motor caravan bodies and equipment. The variety is even greater for the box-body vans and pick-ups. The more precisely a vehicle is geared to its principal sphere of use, the more cost-efficient it will be. There are over 250 standard versions of the Düsseldorf vans in the T1 and TZ series, ranging up to the Mercedes-Benz O 600 club bus.

    On the basis of the DIESEL '89 car diesel programme, Daimler-Benz has developed new, more environmentally acceptable van engines with larger swept volumes. The four-cylinder OM 601 pre-chamber diesel power plant pictured here delivers 58 kW (79 hp) and provides its maximum torque of 157 Nm in the engine speed range of 2000/min to 2800/min.

    In combination with the improved aerodynamics, the new drive train in the T1 vans permits fuel savings of up to one-fifth to be made. One major element in the new drive train is the OM 602 five-cylinder, pre-chamber diesel engine. This 2.9-litre unit develops 70 kW (95 hp) and maintains its maximum torque of 192 Nm from 2400/min to 2600/min.

    The aerodynamics of the Mercedes-Benz vans has been the object of comprehensive studies and tests in the wind tunnel and decisive improve­ments have been achieved. The new vehicles are fitted with wind-deflec­tive panels at the A-pillars and above the front windscreen. This measure prevents the formation of vortexes and makes for a smooth air flow along the surfaces of the vehicle. The result is a reduction of the drag coefficient (cd) by approximately 17 percent.

    With its T1 van series, Daimler-Benz AG's Düsseldorf plant is offering a range of vehicles with engines that set new standards due to their particularly low particulate emissions. In combina­tion with improved aerodynamics, the new drive train permits fuel savings of up to one-fifth to be made. The interior has also been given new fittings and trim, with an improved instrument panel.

    "Alsace Vehicules Industriels" has become the first Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle dealership in the EEC to adopt the new corporate identity appearance which is to become standard throughout Europe. The company's success is due not least to its excellent service section. The workshop, which is also open on Saturdays, has 11 pits of up to 18 m long, each with its own lift. As well as painting, bodywork repairs can also be carried out on commercial vehicles. More than 6,500 parts are kept in the spare parts store.
