About the Sprinter Cargo Van:
After WWII, both America and European countries increased taxes on imports. It started with America exporting cheap chickens into Europe. Since the nations were recovering from WWII, they put heavy taxes on imported chicken to protect their local farmers. In return, the U.S. also increased taxes on brandy, dextrin, potato starch, and light trucks. As it all happened due to chickens, it was called chicken tax.
The taxes on other imports were reduced over time. But, the tariffs on imported pickup trucks were still at 25% in the 90s. This means any company trying to sell their light truck in the U.S. market would have to charge at least 25% more to make a comparable profit.
To avoid the tax, Mercedes started importing their Sprinter vans in pieces called CKD kits. Mercedes first would manufacture their trucks in Germany. Then they would disassemble each van into a complete knockdown kit. And then import each unit into the U.S.
In the U.S., Mercedes made deals with both Dodge and Freightliner to reassemble and sell their trucks. In return, they get to put their badges and make minor changes. This way, Mercedes managed to avoid the taxes but were able to infiltrate the market.
The first-gen Mercedes Sprinter was launched in 2001 in the USA under the Freightliner badge. It's worth noting that Freightliner is owned by Daimler Trucks North America, part of the global Mercedes empire. At first, U.S.-market Sprinters were sold by Freightliner, while the vans for Canada and Mexico wore Mercedes badges until 2003.
Sprinters are mainly used for commercial use. However, Sprinters have been gaining ground as van conversions and recreational vehicles. Conversions include RVs, limousines, family and luxury vans, office vans, wheelchair accessible vans and golf vans. Sprinter RV conversions can also be called Sprinter campervans. Sprinter conversions have been produced by several RV and coach manufacturers.
