Two additional Sprinter minibuses launched

A couple of new variants have joined the Mercedes-Benz minibus range. Named Sprinter Transfer 45 and Sprinter City 45, they’re intended for different purposes.

The Transfer 45 – which measures 7.40 metres (24’ 3”) long and has a gross vehicle weight of 5,500 kg (12,125 lbs) – carries up to 23 passengers.

As it’s aimed at a variety of operators, numerous options are being offered. They include air springs for the rear axle, luggage racks, InterStar Sprinter inter-city seats and TravelStar Sprinter coach seats. Furthermore, the 141 bhp (105 kW / 143 PS) diesel engine can be paired with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed automatic transmission.

By contrast, the City 45 has been designed primarily for scheduled urban services. Therefore, despite being the same length as the Transfer 45, this model is able to accommodate 30 passengers (although some of them will have to stand).

Entry is via a two-piece door with a low step height. Once inside, the central area features four fold-down seats, plus there’s space for a wheelchair. Towards the rear, CityStar Sprinter seats are fitted that are available in bare plastic form or fully upholstered.

Alfa MiTo TwinAir arrives

Image
The Alfa Romeo MiTo supermini is now available with the innovative two-cylinder TwinAir petrol engine. Although its capacity is only 875 cc, a turbocharger and the MultiAir electro-hydraulic valve control system mean it produces a respectable 83 bhp (62 kW / 85 PS) and 145 Nm (103 lb/ft) of torque. Performance might not be scintillating - the 0-62 mph (100 km/h) sprint takes 12.5 seconds and maximum speed is 108 mph (173 km/h) - but the TwinAir’s trump card is efficiency. Carbon dioxide emissions are only 98 g/km, a level that brings numerous benefits for UK drivers including zero road tax, a full discount on the London Congestion Charge and qualification for the lowest company car benefit-in-kind rate. Fuel economy is also decent and, according to the official figures, a TwinAir-powered MiTo will manage 67.3 mpg (4.2 l/100km) on the combined cycle. Impressive maybe, but still some way off the 78.5 mpg (3.6 l/100km) of the existing 1.3 JTDM-2 diesel MiTo. However, any
