Mercedes-Benz has undertaken a revamp of the Vito van, to reduce emissions and fuel consumption by up to 15 percent while enhancing performance. The fully reconfigured chassis is tailored to the transportation of goods or passengers, according to the model concerned. The new Mercedes Vito has a new "face", combining the current passenger cars from Mercedes-Benz with the robustness of a commercial vehicle.

All engines comply with the Euro 5 emissions standard. Further reductions in fuel consumption and emissions are possible with the BlueEFFICIENCY models. All diesel engines are equipped with an oxidation catalytic converter, a particulate filter and cooled exhaust gas recirculation. The new ECO Gear six-speed manual transmission for all four-cylinder models offers a broad gear ratio spread for optimum performance and enables low fuel consumption and emission levels.
