Here’s how it can transform your mornings.

Check your van’s status at a glance

Before hitting the road, a quick check-in with Remote Vehicle Status ensures your van is good to go. Need to confirm fuel or charge levels? Checking tyre pressure? It’s all available in the Mercedes-Benz app, giving you peace of mind before you even step outside.

Lock, unlock, and secure your van from almost anywhere

Ever rushed out the door and wondered if you locked your van? With Remote Vehicle Access, there’s no need to double back. Lock and unlock your van with your phone or even allow a colleague or family member to access it when needed. For business owners, this feature ensures your vehicles are secure and ready for the day's operations.

Start your day with the perfect temperature

For electric van drivers, Pre-Entry Climate Control allows you to set the perfect temperature before you even leave the house. A few taps on your smartphone, and your van is ready to go, no waiting, no discomfort.

Navigate smarter with electric intelligence 

For those driving an electric van, planning a seamless route is easier than ever with Navigation with Electric Intelligence. The system optimises your journey and factors in charging stops, ensuring you reach your destination without worry. Live traffic updates also help you avoid delays, making your commute more efficient.

Stay on top of maintenance

Nobody wants unexpected breakdowns, especially when the day is packed with deliveries, meetings, or travel plans. Telediagnostics and Maintenance Management notifies you when parts need attention or when a service is due, helping you keep your van in top condition. Business owners can manage fleet maintenance efficiently, while private owners enjoy the confidence of a well-maintained van.

Track your van’s location anytime

Whether you’re running a business or simply want added security, the Vehicle Tracker feature allows you to monitor your van’s location in real time. This can mean better logistics and oversight, as well as added peace of mind, especially when parking in unfamiliar areas.

Emergency and breakdown assistance when you need it

Unexpected situations can arise, but with Mercedes-Benz Emergency Call System and Breakdown Management, help is always within reach. In the event of an accident, the system can automatically notify emergency services. And if you ever need roadside assistance, a simple press of a button connects you to the support team.
