Pertama generation (1995-2006; 2013-Present (Sebagai sprinter classic)
Eropa
The first generation Sprinter was launched in Europe in 1995 to replace the famous Mercedes-Benz TN van originating from 1977. It was chosen as the International Van of the Year for 1995.
North America
The first generation (VA Chassis) North American Sprinter was launched in 2001 in the US and was originally branded as Freightliner. Units sold throughout North America were given a badge as Mercedes-Benz until 2003 when they received the Dodge branding. Units in the United States and Canada, but not in Mexico, can be purchased as Dodge or Freightliner from 2003. This product is launched and supported by DaimlerChrysler Vans LLC, a small division based in Huntersville, North Carolina. Key figures from DaimlerChrysler's Commercial Vehicle Division and Freightliner Trucks were selected to spearhead efforts and become the largest part of the division. DaimlerChrysler Vans LLC retained sole responsibility for the Sprinter North American marketplace until its sales, service and parts responsibilities were absorbed by the Chrysler Commercial Vehicle Division in 2004. Almost all of the original staff were retained, although the operating base shifted from North Carolina to Auburn Hills, Michigan. Time DaimlerChrysler Vans LLC remains active in Huntersville as engineering, certification of upfitter and security compliance resources to support Sprinter.
For 2003, DaimlerChrysler introduced the Dodge brand Sprinter version to the North American market. It's identical to the Freightliner Trucks version except for minor style details and badging. Rather than redesigning the old Dodge Ram Van who has been using the same basic body and layout since the 1970s and discontinued in 2003, DaimlerChrysler chose to replace it with Sprinter.
From 2001 to 2006, the Sprinter van cargo version was produced in DÃÆ'¼sseldorf, Germany, partially dismantled and shipped to a facility in Gaffney, South Carolina where they were reassembled. The cargo version, classified as light truck, is subject to 25% chicken tax if imported as a complete unit, which is avoided by demolition and subsequent reassembly. Passenger vans are not subject to the same tax classification and are imported as units assembled through Mercedes-Benz in Jacksonville, Florida.
The cargo version of this model is reassembled in a factory in Ladson, South Carolina that was previously used as an American LaFrance plant. Like its predecessor, the passenger version is imported as a complete unit. The previous reassembly facility in Gaffney, South Carolina continues to be used by Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation.

Generasi Ketiga (2019-Current)
The Third Generation Sprinter will debut on February 6, 2018
Usage
Sprinter is designed primarily for businesses, not private users, although recreational vehicle conversion (RV) is available. In the United States, the first generation Sprinters (2001-2006) offered solely with Mercedes-Benz 2.7 liter straight five-cylinder turbocharged Diesel.
The company replaced the van conversion with wide bus body - Runner with side-facing bench and high right side door - as campus transport. Limited number of "carts" complete (passenger vans) are being produced in Germany and delivered complete to the United States mostly for private van use and church. The Typical Sprinter Wagon accommodates 8 to 10 passengers and has glass in all possible factory positions. Vans sent to the United States in-spec (speculation for sale by dealer/distributor) are mostly shipped in White Arctic colors, but many colors are available. The Dodge dealer network for Sprinters is limited to a certified location (known as a "Business Link" certified dealer, usually only awarded to "Five Star" certified dealers), and the dealer's knowledge is limited in both sales and service. Special orders typically take one to three months for delivery, and may take longer due to assembly and disassembly in Germany, and export parts to South Carolina for reassembling. The exception is the model of a passenger van assembled in Germany and exported as a complete vehicle.
In North America, most Sprinters are sold as cargo vans to expediters in the United States. Such circumvention is similar to truckers, except they take smaller loads and will wait after dismantling until the dispatcher finds another customer nearby to transport the goods. The emergence of the Sprinter van with a cargo space of 13-1/2 feet (4.1 m) has enabled van vans to take three 48 x 48 in (1.22 x 1.22 m) glide or pallet, where previously they were limited to the capacity of two Sprinter palettes capable of carrying about 3000 pounds (1360 kg) of cargo. The vehicle has been adopted by police in Hong Kong and in Poland, as well and as an ambulance by countries in Western Europe, Scandinavia, US, Australia and New Zealand. CDI 515 has become a standard ambulance for use by the National Health Service (NHS) in the UK.
Another market in which Sprinters gained ground is as the conversion of vans and recreational vehicles. Conversions include RV, limo, family and luxury van, office van, wheelchair accessible van, and golf cart. Convert Sprinter RV can also be called campervans Sprinter. The Sprinter conversion has been produced by several RV manufacturers and coaches. Sprinter's current split version represents the majority of the supermarket home delivery fleets across the UK, but the demand for these vans is beginning to decline. ASDA recently announced that its new fleet will be a special IVECO vehicle, following in the footsteps of Tesco. Mercedes is currently working with Waitrose Home Delivery, which currently uses cold LWB HR Sprinters, on a new generation home delivery prototype prototype, currently used in selected stores, aimed at cutting emissions, costs, and increasing time efficiency.
Sprinters have been used globally as television production vehicles, most commonly as ENG (Electronic News Gathering) and SNG (Satellite News Gathering) vehicles. This is a popular choice for local affiliates for their maneuverability in metropolitan areas and lack of DOT regulations (in versions below 10,000 lbs).
Although not marketed as a family vehicle, the Dodge Sprinter branded a special modification used by ten members of the Gosselin family, the subject of the reality series of TLC Jon & amp; Kate Plus 8 .
