About the Mercedes-Benz eSprinter

The eSprinter is the fully electric version of the Sprinter, targeting urban delivery fleets. It was produced from 2019 to present, and you’ll find it as a Electric Cargo Van, Passenger Van. Assembly happened at: Düsseldorf (Germany) and Charleston (USA, from 2024).

Since the eSprinter is a battery-electric commercial vehicle, its VIN encodes battery configuration and the electric-drivetrain variant on top of the usual chassis information.

A few things worth knowing about the eSprinter

The eSprinter was introduced in 2019 as Mercedes-Benz's first all-electric commercial van. The third-generation eSprinter (2024) uses an entirely new modular electric platform (VAN.EA derivative) and was the first eSprinter sold in North America, manufactured in Charleston, South Carolina.

How to decode a Mercedes-Benz eSprinter VIN

Every Mercedes-Benz VIN built since 1981 follows the ISO 3779 standard. That gives you 17 alphanumeric characters split into three blocks: the World Manufacturer Identifier (positions 1 to 3), the Vehicle Descriptor Section (positions 4 to 9) and the Vehicle Identifier Section (positions 10 to 17). Here’s what each chunk tells you about your eSprinter.

Positions 1 to 3: World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI)

WDB and WD3 are common; new WMI codes appear for 2024+ third-generation eSprinter.

Positions 4 to 8: Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS)

VS30E chassis code is encoded in VDS positions 4 to 8 (denotes electric variant).

Position 9: Check Digit

The check digit comes from a weighted sum of the other 16 characters. Think of it as a self-validating control. If you mistype any single character on your eSprinter VIN, the check digit won’t match and the VIN is flagged as invalid.

Position 10: Model Year

Position 10 tells you the model year using a rolling alphanumeric scheme. A quick Mercedes-Benz cheat sheet: S = 1995, Y = 2000, 5 = 2005, A = 2010, F = 2015, L = 2020, P = 2023, R = 2024, S = 2025, T = 2026.

Position 11: Assembly Plant

Position 11 typically 'F' (Düsseldorf, Germany) or 'P' (Charleston, USA for 2024+ models).

Positions 12 to 17: Production Sequence Number

The final six digits are the unique serial number stamped on your specific eSprinter as it rolled off the assembly line.

Mercedes-Benz eSprinter engine codes

Over the years the eSprinter has been offered with the following engine families: Electric drivetrain, 100 kW / 116 hp (early), 150 kW / 201 hp (2024+), 81 to 113 kWh battery options. Mercedes-Benz engine codes follow a tight naming convention. The letter ‘M‘ denotes a petrol/gasoline engine (think M256, M177, M139), while ‘OM‘ (Oel-Motor) flags a diesel (OM651, OM654, OM656 and so on). Want to know exactly which engine sits under your eSprinter? Decode the VIN above. VDS positions 4 to 8 will give you the exact engine variant.
