A recent tweet has reignited talks between Daimler and electric vehicle leader Tesla. Following founder Elon Musk’s recent comments regarding the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van, claiming it to be “a great van,” both parties are looking at releasing an electric version of the vehicle this year.
With talks underway, the move followed feedback from company technicians who utilise Sprinter vans at the business, but bemoaned its unsustainability and need to “burn fuel like crazy.” Through the partnership, Daimler will gain the ability to provide electric Sprinter vans later this year.
