Variants - Transportation made-to-measure
Each of our customers has to meet very specific challenges in his day-to-day work. And as these demands are becoming larger by the day, there are numerous Vario panel van variants to meet them.
- 3 wheelbase variants
- Standard and high roof versions with 1785 mm or 1930 mm headroom
- 10.4 m³ to 17.4 m³ cargo volume
- Payload of up to 3.9 t
- Tonnages of 5.99 and 7.49 t with further load capacity increases and reductions
- Option of passenger compartment, providing space for a total of up to 7 people
- Different bulkhead options plus different combinations of rear doors and sliding side doors
- All-wheel-drive version optionally available (3700 and 4250 mm wheelbase)
Functionality
The Vario doesn’t only earn bonus points on account of its size. Its functionality, too, is highly convincing, for instance the possibility to load Euro palettes with a fork-lift
The panel van has been thought out right down to the smallest detail: the sidewalls are virtually vertical and the wheel housings can be optionally flattened out. This guarantees optimum usage of space, either for stacking loads or for individual equipment installation.
And steps at all doors, making loading and unloading easier.
Dynamic Handling
With a fully laden van, the top speed is less important than knowing that the necessary tractive power is there when you need it. Here the different high-torque Vario diesel engines are particularly impressive.
The further developed four-cylinder diesel engines, featuring direct injection, exhaust gas turbocharger and charge air cooling, provide the 813 D and 813 DA (4x4) with 500 Nm of torque to give them lots of pulling power from low revs. The more powerful variant of this engine, with 115 kW (156 hp) and torque of 610 Nm, is designed for the 816 D and 816 DA (4x4) models.
In the top versions 818 D and 818 DA (4x4) the engine generates 130 kW (177 hp) and provides the wheels with 675 Nm thanks to a 6-speed transmissions.
Of course all the engines meet the requirements of the EURO4 standard thanks to the new BlueTec® diesel technology, and are equipped as standard with an NOx sensor for emissions monitoring.
Drive System
No matter what you have to transport – the Vario’s rear-wheel drive delivers the torque of its diesel engine effortlessly to the road.
The Vario permanent all-wheel-drive model variants will get you further especially in the landscape gardening business or on construction sites. A selectable off-road ratio ensures greater tractive power on rough ground, making it ideal for unsurfaced, icy or snow-covered roads. To improve traction, the rear axle differential additionally can be locked. With a drive like this there is little that can hold you up.
Comfort
When designing the interior we concentrated on providing sensible solutions to relieve driver stress and offer passengers a relaxing, comfortable journey.
The well laid-out dashboard with clear, non-reflective instruments, the driver’s seat, adjustable in a number of ways, and an efficient heating and ventilation system relieve stress and help the driver concentrate. Thanks to the large windscreen, visibility is excellent; thanks to power steering as standard, the driver is in full control.
Safety
We have simply never let anything slow us down when it comes to the scope of safety equipment offered.
The Vario features a dual-circuit compressed-air hydraulic brake system with automatic brake adjustment, automatic load-sensitive brake pressure control (ALB) on the rear axle and internally-ventilated disc brakes with ABS anti-lock brake system all-round.
And if the worst should come to the worst, the optional driver’s front airbag in conjunction with belt tensioners will protect you.
BlueTec®
BlueTec® is the forward-looking SCR diesel technology from Mercedes-Benz: a convincing solution, in economic and ecological terms, enabling your Vario to meet the Euro 4 emission standard
The SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) exhaust gas aftertreatment technique is the only technology that permits the necessary reduction in emissions while optimising engine performance and fuel consumption.
The BlueTec® system comprises state-of-the-art engines with enhanced peak pressures to improve combustion and reduce particulates. Other system components are a catalytic converter and an AdBlue tank. The AdBlue additive is simply obtained from a pump at a filling station and carried in a separate tank. A metering unit feeds it into the exhaust gas, whereupon the heat turns it into the ammonia needed for the chemical reduction in the catalytic converter. There the nitrogen oxides are converted by catalytic chemical reaction into ecologically harmless nitrogen and water.
