Mercedes-Benz Vans presents the van of the future
11 Sep 2016|1,344 views
The all-electric Vision Van combines various innovative solutions for last-mile delivery in urban and suburban environments. It is the first van worldwide to fully digitally connect all people and processes involved, from the distribution centre to the consignee.
Furthermore, it is the first van ever to feature a fully automated cargo space and integrated delivery drones. For example, if a parcel service provider stops his vehicle in a residential area, it will be possible to deliver multiple packages to nearby consignees autonomously by air - even if they are not at home - in addition to manual delivery. This makes the deliverer's job easier, reduces delivery time, and offers end customers new opportunities like same-day delivery at an agreed time.
Mercedes-Benz Vans envisages deployment of the Vision Van boosting efficiency by up to 50 percent on the last mile. The vehicle is equipped with a 75kW electric drive and, depending on the intended application, has a range of 80km to approximately 270km. With the Vision Van, deliveries are emission-free.
"With the Vision Van from Mercedes-Benz Vans we provide an idea of future generations of vans. The intelligent automation technology connects the entire process, from loading and transportation by road through to delivery to the consignee. This makes it easier for the deliverer to do business and rapidly reduces the delivery time for end customers," says Volker Mornhinweg, Head of Mercedes-Benz Vans.
He adds, "Equipped with an electric drive system, the Vision Van not only operates locally emission-free, it also moves almost silently. This means that it can be operated in cities even during times when there are traffic restrictions or for late-night deliveries in residential areas. This gives our customers the possibility of offering new services to their customers."
