Stuttgart. #van life is booming. Over the past years, Mercedes‑Benz Vans has successfully established itself in all motorhome categories with its base vehicles, and with the new #citan, which has been available to order since mid-September, the brand with the three-pointed star has laid the foundation for further growth. The new #citan allows Mercedes‑Benz Vans to make the most of the versatile possibilities in the increasingly popular micro-camper conversions sector. This will be demonstrated shortly by SORTIMO Switzerland at the Suisse Caravan Salon in Bern, starting on 28 October. SORTIMO Switzerland will be presenting the new #citan with a roof tent and a multifunction box equipped with a kitchen and bed unit at the Mercedes‑Benz exhibition stand. And there are further conversion solutions based on the new Citan on the market, for instance from VanEssa mobilcamping. The increase in popularity of micro-campers has a number of reasons: they are comparatively cheaper in terms of acquisition costs; their often modular conversion concept enables flexible installation and removal; thanks to their compact exterior dimensions they are easy to operate; and their weight of under 3.5 tonnes means they can be driven on a regular category B driving licence. With qualities like these, micro-campers have an increasing fan base, especially among young #van lifers.
"The motorhome market is essential for Mercedes‑Benz Vans. We expand our presence continuously and work closely with various motorhome manufacturers around the world. The brand new generation of the #citan is another milestone here. We are very pleased that our costumers can already select between various mirco-camper conversion soultions just a few weeks after the new #citan was released for sale," says Klaus Rehkugler, Head of Sales and Marketing Mercedes‑Benz Vans.
About the new #MercedesBenz Citan

With regard to its design, connectivity, driving characteristics and safety, the vehicle bears the typical DNA of the brand with the three-pointed star; and unites it with compact exterior dimensions and a cleverly designed interior space concept.

With SORTIMO and VanEssa mobilcamping, create a #citan micro-camper in no time at all
Turn your daily driver into a micro-camper and back again in a few easy steps – that's the overriding principle in the #van life scene when it comes to small vans. It works on the basis of so-called furniture modules which can be flexibly installed and removed. This concept is used for the new Citan among others by VanEssa mobilcamping from Upper Bavaria and Swiss vehicle conversion specialist SORTIMO from Bern.
