Whether camping on a large or small scale, whether drive train traditionalist or visionary, whether technology fan or design connoisseur, whether in favour of ownership or of the sharing principle – #mercedesbenzvans has something suitable for every #van lifer, or for anyone thinking of becoming one, at this year's #caravansalon in Düsseldorf. From 27 August to 4 September, visitors to the trade fair find a variety of new products and services on the Mercedes booth in hall 16. These include one of the first eCamper conversions based on the Mercedes EQV, implemented by Sortimo Walter Rüegg AG, the first motorhome conversions based on the new Sprinter 4x4 from Frankia-GP GmbH (for the first time with the #mercedesbenz Navigation for trailers and oversized vehicles on board, which is now available on request), the #mercedesbenzmarcopolo with a new, fresh colour scheme for the interior and – as a special highlight – the new #mercedesbenztclass with a camping module ex factory that can be installed and removed flexibly. The brand with the three-pointed star is thus exhibiting its entire portfolio, from large and midsize to small vans, at the world's largest trade fair for motorhomes and caravans. Also on sight: #mercedesbenz #automotive #mobility GmbH with its motorhome rental service, which is being further expanded for the coming camping season.

Klaus Rehkugler, Head of Sales and Marketing Mercedes-Benz Vans: "We are delighted to be exhibiting at the #caravansalon Düsseldorf again this year, and to bringing the world of Mercedes-Benz Vans closer to all #van lifers. I am particularly looking forward to the response to the camping module for our new T-Class, which we will be offering ex factory and with which we are expanding our range of products around the Marco Polo family. With it, we are once again signalling the strategic relevance that the motorhome market has for #mercedesbenz."

The new #mercedesbenztclass – between everyday vehicle and micro-camper ex factory

The new T-Class was presented in April of this year. It expands the portfolio for the private customer market with an attractive entry-level model into the Mercedes world and, as a premium small #van, is particularly aimed at active leisure enthusiasts and families. The new T-Class combines a sporty, emotive design with the Mercedes-typical demand for value, comfort and connectivity, among others. These qualities, together with its compact exterior dimensions and well thought-out interior space, also open up a wide range of possibilities for the newcomer in the increasingly popular segment of micro-camper conversions – as Mercedes-Benz Vans is demonstrating at the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf with a camping solution that will be available ex factory in the future.

Further information on the appearance of the new T-Class in Düsseldorf will be available from the start of the trade fair on the Mercedes me media online platform at media.mercedes-benz.com and on the #mercedesbenz Group Media Site at group-media.mercedes-benz.com.

New colour concept for the #mercedesbenz Marco Polo #camper van

The 'in-house' Marco Polo models based on the V-Class and Vito midsize vans are also part of #mercedesbenz Vans' trade fair presentation. Both the Marco Polo HORIZON recreational vehicle is on display again, as is the Marco Polo #camper #van, which, in addition to a standard sleeping bench/berth and pop-up roof, offers such features as a fully-fledged kitchenette, a wardrobe and drawer modules, and is a real smart home on wheels thanks to the innovative #mercedesbenz Advanced Control (MBAC) #camper operating unit.

The Marco Polo displayed in Düsseldorf features a new colour variant for the interior, which style lovers will be able to order on request from the end of the year. As the name suggests, the new option Interior design anthracite/blue plays with the colours anthracite and blue in the rear – for example on the vehicle pillars and side walls as well as on the camping furniture. This turns the living area into a real eye-catcher. The floor of the Marco Polo also has a new stone floor look instead of the familiar yacht floor look.

With the EQV to locally emission-free #van life pleasure

Mercedes-Benz Vans has firmly anchored its claim to leadership in electric #mobility in its strategy, and is consistently electrifying all its model series. The portfolio already available in the market also includes the EQV – the battery-electric counterpart of the V-Class midsize #van. The EQV is available with two different battery variants: as EQV 300 with a 90 kWh battery and a WLTP range[1],[2] of up to 326-363 kilometres (WLTP: Combined power consumption: 30.3–27.6 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km)[3] as well as EQV 250 with a 60 kWh battery and a WLTP range1,2 of 213-236 kilometres (WLTP: Combined power consumption: 30.6–27.4 kWh/100 km; CO2 emissions combined: 0 g/km)3. Both models are available in two lengths (5,140 cm or 5,370 cm). At the fast charging station, the EQV charges from ten to 80 percent in up to 40 minutes[4]. In addition, the EQV is integrated into an electromobile ecosystem of intelligent navigation with active range management and cloud-based services and apps. The MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system serves as the central control unit. With these qualities, it offers a wide range of applications for a wide variety of customer needs and does so locally emission-free – including for #van lifers, as the company Sortimo Walter Rüegg AG shows together with Mercedes-Benz Vans in the Rhine metropolis.

Sortimo's conversion concept is modular[5]. Full-range options will include a pop-up roof with roof bed as well as a multifunctional box with a sleeping and kitchen unit for the rear area. Their special characteristic is their lightweight construction, because every kilo saved means more range. Solar panels on the roof also supply the camping battery with electricity and give additional self-sufficiency. Other optional features are darkened rear windows and interior lighting for the rear, including integrated USB sockets.
