Acbus MB Sprinter – a body conversion on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform: 2.1-litre four-cylinder with 120 kW, gross weight 3,880 kg, length 6,950 mm
Acbus MB Sprinter is built on the chassis of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, the German manufacturer's light van and minibus range, produced at Mercedes-Benz plants across Europe since the 1990s. The Sprinter serves numerous body builders as a base for panel vans, minibuses and special vehicles; the Acbus designation in the type field refers to such a conversion rather than to the chassis maker. At 3,880 kg gross vehicle weight the vehicle sits just above the 3.5-tonne threshold, in class N2.

The register lists a four-cylinder engine of 2,143 cm³ and 120 kW for this model. Kerb weight is 2,875 kg, gross vehicle weight 3,880 kg. The vehicle is 6,950 mm long and 1,980 mm wide.
With 120 kW from a 2.1-litre four-cylinder, this Sprinter is unusually powerful for its weight class, pointing to use with a heavy body, a trailer, or frequent hill and motorway work rather than purely local delivery runs. Because the gross weight exceeds the 3.5-tonne threshold, a category C1 licence is required rather than the plain category B, and the vehicle also falls under the tachograph and driving-time rules that apply above that mark.
For a used example, check for corrosion at the chassis, strut mounts and sliding-door tracks, the condition of the clutch and gearbox, brake system operation, and, depending on the body, the seals of windows and roof on the minibus or van conversion. Drivetrain parts run through the Mercedes-Benz dealer network, body parts through the respective builder.
