If you’re in the market for a freezer van that’s inexpensive yet durable enough for your business needs, take a look at the 2018 Mercedes Vito. An entry level freezer van, it features the rugged strength of German technology combined with the practicality that makes it suitable for commercial usage.
The Mercedes Vito freezer van has much to offer business owners, irrespective of their cargo or the nature of their business.
Mercedes Vito Freezer Van 2018: Engine
The Mercedes Vito freezer van is the perfect example of German and French technology. Powering the Vito is a 1.6 litre, Euro 5 single turbo diesel engine from French manufacturer, Renault. Like some of its Renault counterparts, Mercedes Vito comes with a six-speed manual gearbox, powering a front wheel drive. The manual gear is very good, with a light clutch and reasonable shift pattern. The modest torque of 84kW means that you can dart hither and thither throughout the city, without fear of burning up fuel.
These ‘under the hood’ features are what make the Mercedes Vito freezer van a great-selling product.
Loading the 2018 Mercedes Vito Freezer Van
This van comes in two variants: the short-wheel base and the long-wheel base. The former has a pretty impressive load area and is 4900m in length, 2240mm wide and just under 2m tall. Inside the load area is 1270mm between the tyre arches and a loading length of nearly 2.6m. Certainly, this is sufficient space for any cargo.
The large sliding doors and tailgate at the back makes loading cargo a lot easier, unlike with other rival brand models. Furthermore, you can also enjoy the option of barn doors that open up to 270 degrees, albeit for a little more expenditure.
