Delivery company DPD has chosen dealer eStar to supply it with 341 Mercedes-Benz eSprinter vans as part of a wider fleet agreement.
The first vehicles will enter service this month, with all vans scheduled to be operational by the end of October, ensuring DPD is fully prepared to meet peak Christmas seasonal demand while maintaining service levels across its nationwide network.
Every van will be supported by Mercedes-Benz ServiceCare Complete, providing repair and maintenance support through the nationwide dealer network to help maximise uptime.
Through Mercedes-Benz connected vehicle technology, the vans can alert the customer and their nominated dealer when attention is needed, helping plan work before a vehicle is forced off the road.
Rob Dawson, Head of LCV, DPD UK said, “We’re delighted to continue working with Mercedes-Benz Vans as a trusted partner.
“As we continue to invest in a more sustainable fleet, having the right partners alongside us is just as important as having the right vehicles.
“The eSprinter gives us the capability we need to support lower-emission deliveries, while Mercedes-Benz Vans’ aftersales expertise and nationwide support network will play an important role in keeping our vehicles on the road and our operation moving.”
Iain Forsyth, Managing Director of Mercedes-Benz Vans UK, said, “In a fast-moving business landscape, it’s becoming increasingly vital for businesses like DPD operating at scale, to need partnerships that ensure vans remain operational to meet customer demands.
“DPD deliver seven days a week, 52 weeks a year so it feels good to have their backs and really deliver for them.”
