A pilot program uses a special Mercedez-Benz eSprinter electric van as a mobile micro-depot which brings ONOMOTION’s standardized container modules to transfer points on its route, where the container is then off-loaded onto an ONO electric cargo bike which then completes the last-mile deliveries.
The electric van used in the pilot program is based on an eSprinter, but is actually a “technology demonstrator” dubbed the, which is used to test “many innovative concepts for future delivery transport,” some of which may end up in production vehicles.
In addition to the integrated container lifting system, Mercedes-Benz Vans says that the SUSTAINEER, by using a combination of “near-body heating” and zonal air conditioning, requires up to 50% less energy for climate control. The van also incorporates a PM10 filter in the front, which reduces particulate matter from tires, brakes, asphalt, etc., by 55%, which, while it doesn’t further decarbonize deliveries, helps to protect the drivers, who are exposed to these pollutants all day long.
