SULEV Emissions
Details & Technology
According to the CARB emission legislation, the Sprinter is categorized as a Medium Duty
Vehicle (MDV). The future CARB LEVIII SULEV emission standards of MDVs are to be phased-
in from 2018 to 2022. From 2023 onwards the SULEV limits will be mandatory for all newly
introduced MDV vehicles.
With this code, the Sprinter is programmed with an improved combustion, emission and OBD
calibration to meet the higher requirements of LEVIII SULEV. All while maintaining the same
fuel economy customers expect from the regular Sprinter with the 4CE 4-cylinder BlueTEC
engine (LEVIII ULEV version).
Benefits & Arguments
With the 4CE 4-cylinder OM651 and the optional emissions MH8 the message to customers
can benefit from a compound effect of less fuel consumption (4CE engine) + less emissions
(MH8) .
Although customers might not save actual money by lowering their emissions to the 2023
standard, customers are minimizing the ecological foot print by:
a.) Burning as little as possible fossil fuels
b.) Having as little as possible tailpipe emissions that already fulfill CARB 2023
standards.
This may result in other tangible value to any given customer that gets carries over to the
bottom line. (E.g. tax credits, public perception, green image etc.)
