30 Years of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Since Its 1995 Debut

The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a large van introduced in 1995 as the successor to the Mercedes-Benz T1/TN. The first vehicle left the Düsseldorf plant in Germany on January 23, 1995, and was named International Van of the Year in the same year.

The Sprinter was the first Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle to adopt a distinctive model name rather than a numerical or alphanumeric designation. From its launch, it was designed to offer a range of configurations according to body length, wheelbase, cargo requirements, and passenger capacity. This versatility has enabled its use across a wide range of applications, including freight transport, passenger transport, ambulances, police vehicles, camper vans, and business vehicles.

In 2025, the Sprinter marked its 30th anniversary. Mercedes-Benz announced that cumulative production had surpassed five million units, with the five-millionth vehicle being an all-electric eSprinter produced at the company’s Charleston plant in South Carolina, United States.

The Sprinter is currently sold in more than 130 markets. Its high roof, long wheelbase, and purpose-specific configurations are key features that contribute to the van’s versatility.

Airport Transfers After a Long-Haul Flight

After disembarking, international visitors proceed through airport procedures, collect their luggage, and travel to their next destination. For itineraries that involve an approximately one-hour journey from Incheon International Airport to EHL BIO, having time and space to rest or prepare for a meeting can be valuable.

EHL 1 Prestige is designed to support this part of the journey. Rather than arranging separate transportation or navigating unfamiliar routes, clients can travel directly to their designated destination upon arrival at the airport. The van’s spacious interior is also well suited to clients traveling with substantial luggage or accompanying guests.

Inside the vehicle, passengers may take a moment to rest, review messages, or review their schedule. It can also provide a space to coordinate the next steps of the visit with accompanying guests.

VIP Airport Transfer Service with EHL 1 Prestige

A VIP transport vehicle connects the airport with the client’s destination, while also serving as one of the first points of contact for international clients beginning their visit to EHL BIO. It is used to welcome clients at the airport, transport them to their destination, and transport them onward to their next destination after their appointment.

EHL BIO has incorporated the Sprinter’s spacious interior and versatility into its VIP transportation service for international clients. EHL 1 Prestige supports airport pickup and transportation to the client’s scheduled destination.

EHL BIO describes EHL 1 Prestige as a “private lounge in motion.” The concept reflects the vehicle’s role as a quiet space where passengers can rest or prepare for their next appointment while traveling. It is also well suited to international visit itineraries that involve longer journeys and substantial luggage.

A Vehicle Supporting Each Visit from Arrival to Departure

EHL BIO is a biotechnology company researching regenerative medicine and biotechnology, with a focus on stem cells and immune cells. For international clients, the visit experience begins upon arrival at the airport, and EHL 1 Prestige supports transportation throughout the arrival and departure process.

The transportation service is separate from EHL BIO’s research and medical services. Rather, it helps clients rest and prepare for their scheduled visit while traveling from Incheon International Airport to EHL BIO destinations.
