[Asia Economy Reporter Ki-min Lee] Daimler Truck Korea's Mercedes-Benz Van Division announced on the 5th that it will supply the base vehicle of the Mercedes-Benz New Sprinter 519 CDI Extra Long model to the bus sales company Ja-il Automobile Sales.

Ja-il Automobile Sales will convert the base vehicle of the New Sprinter 519 CDI Extra Long model into a premium minibus and begin selling it to end consumers starting this month.

The newly introduced Ja-il Sprinter minibus comes in three types: 15-seat, 17-seat, and 20-seat, and features advanced safety technologies unique to the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter that cannot be experienced in minibuses of the same class.

The vehicle price varies depending on the end consumer's needs and optional features, starting from 89.4 million KRW including VAT (based on the 15-seat model). Ja-il Automobile Sales plans to additionally launch the 20-seat Ja-il Sprinter minibus converted for use as a children's transport vehicle and village bus.

Ja-il Automobile Sales is a corporation spun off from the former Daewoo Motors' automobile sales division and sells medium and large buses produced by Ja-il Daewoo Commercial Vehicles, including the small bus Resta. In addition, it operates automobile maintenance and parts sales, as well as a rental car business.

The Ja-il Sprinter showrooms are located in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, and two locations in Busan Metropolitan City. The Ja-il Sprinter will be sold in connection with 17 Ja-il Automobile Sales directly operated stores and dealerships nationwide.

Warranty and repairs for the newly introduced Ja-il Sprinter minibus will be provided at 18 Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle official service centers nationwide (including van service centers) for the Sprinter base vehicle, while special conversion specifications will be serviced at Ja-il Automobile Sales' Cheonan maintenance facility. In the future, conversion repairs will also be carried out at 11 directly operated maintenance centers of Ja-il Automobile Sales nationwide.

Daimler Truck Korea's Mercedes-Benz Van Division is focusing on developing new van bodybuilders with solid fundamentals and technical capabilities to prepare for the gradually expanding domestic van market and to offer consumers more choices.
