VanExperience LIVE ‘bigger and better’ this year

9th June 2014

Mercedes-Benz Vans UK is gearing up for the start of VanExperience LIVE 2014. Now in its 11th year, the invite-only event promises to be bigger than ever before.

Taking place in June for more than 1,800 van operators, the event goes far beyond any test drive, with a unique opportunity to assess how Mercedes-Benz vans perform in all areas, including stability, fuel efficiency and crossing difficult terrain off-road, with real-world driving challenges in a safe and controlled environment.

There are four key demonstrations – wet grip assessment including competitor testing, Adaptive ESP testing using different load configurations, MPG challenges and traction control testing on an off-road course designed to represent real-word conditions, whether it is at a construction site, delivering to rural locations or responding to 999 emergency call-outs across rough terrain.

Almost 200 Mercedes-Benz vehicles will be on display and on test for the duration of the two-week event, in Warwickshire, including a range of bodied vehicles from coaches to construction, taxis to blue light and parcel delivery to lifestyle vehicles.

In addition, there will be a significant focus on Service & Parts, with an Accessories vehicle to highlight the range of personalisation products available, details of Genuine Oil and its benefits, and a Genuine Parts display and ‘price it right’ competition, highlighting the value of using Mercedes-Benz products.

“I am extremely proud of the Van Experience events,” said the MD of Mercedes-Benz Vans Steve Bridge.  “We are the only manufacturer offering this type of in-depth testing of our entire vehicle range and look forward to welcoming more than 1,800 customers to our event.”
