Mercedes PRO digital services minibuses.

With tailored telematics packages for maximum efficiency: Mercedes PRO connect in Mercedes-Benz minibuses.

Mercedes-Benz minibuses are more than just buses: they open up the world of digital services. The Sprinter ultimately also defines its vehicle category in the area of digitisation and connectivity.

Mercedes PRO is the brand associated with Mercedes-Benz Vans for all services, solutions and digital services in day-today operations. The subdivision, Mercedes PRO connect forms the digital platform for fleets and optimises communications between operators, vehicles and drivers. Mercedes PRO connect supports small and large fleets with tailored telematics packages. They can be combined in a variety of ways. The basis is the Sprinter’s standard communication module as the interface and online access. The pioneering MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) multimedia system can be added to this as an extraordinary operating convenience for the driver.

“If there is risk of a repair or even a failure, the operator receives actual recommended actions without delay. That means minimum downtimes and maximum availability.”

Mercedes PRO connect gives companies what they want:

nearly every other customer of the new Sprinter uses one or more services. When selecting from the portal, www.mercedes.pro, there is an online help function. A selection of telematics services for minibus operators:

• Optimised support – for the efficient planning of service and maintenance work on time, better deadline and cost transparency as well as reduced downtimes.

• Efficient fleet management – for quick and flexible planning thanks to transparency of vehicle location and status.

• Improved navigation – optimises route planning based on traffic data in real time, up-to-date map data and the option of directly sending a point of interest (POI) to the vehicle as a destination.

• Efficient driving style analysis – uses the driving style monitor to deliver meaningful data about the driving profile in order to optimise fuel consumption and minimise wear and tear.

• Simplified fleet communication – optimises the link between driver and operator, which can send direct messages to the Mercedes PRO app and assign orders.

• Digitised drawings – enables routes driven to be saved for accounting purposes and can replace the handwritten driver’s log.

Mercedes PRO connect is being continually expanded. Mercedes-Benz Van Uptime has recently been added for the “Optimised support” service. Many of the vehicle’s parameters are evaluated here in real time. If there is risk of a repair or even a failure, the operator receives actual recommended actions without delay. That means minimum downtimes and maximum availability. Equally, numerous services from Mercedes PRO connect can now be used via an adapter, even for Sprinters already in the fleet. Companies can use data interfaces to integrate the digital services in existing fleet management systems too. With Sprinter minibuses, companies are always well connected.
