Driving through Omaha Nebraska a year ago saw a Sprinter about 4 years old. Every seam had serious rust, hopefully the new body style is something that approaches the Best or Nothing marketing.
today those poor robots are unemployed in other factories. Mercedes Benz was the only manufacture that was able to sell me a new van. picked up a beautiful 2022 2500 cargo in white and couldnt be more pleased with it! took it home last thursday
Im a Mercedes fan,and this production is brilliant but they certainly need to step up on their paint,pretty much every sprinter you see around here in the UK has some sort of rust problems on the body and wheel arches and when your paying for a premium vehicle thats not good enough imo.
I didn’t see any primer or corrosion prevention before the painting process. That would solve SO many problems for 10 more minutes of work. Please consider this.
Look again; the body shells are bare metal, but in the painting scene the vehicle is now white (primed), and they are then spraying the interior and door shuts black, before the body goes to the robot spraying of the exterior. It's not common to have access to the robot spray areas when giving plant tours or filming, partly because no one is allowed inside a robotic cell whilst the robot is running, but also as some manufacturers consider their paint techniques to be proprietary knowledge which they don't share.
I visited the Charleston plant when it was a brand new plant for Sterling Condors. They were fixing to start sprinter production in half the plant. Condor owners ran it in the ground and broke them so I guess sprinter has the whole beautiful place.
I like this kind of videos. And I thank you for posting this one. Just one tiny remark. When I watch videos about a vehicle assembly, I expect to see the vehicle assembly, not "the people who make Mercedes". You often show the people instead of what they are doing. And with all due respect, that's not what I want to see.
I have the VW, i can honestly say every day or so i see the tell tale signs of rust creeping in, last one for me not worth the money when there are better vans out there now.
A very impressive video and impressive factory, At the end of the day, I see mechanical robots and I see Human robots. I have driven the Sprinter and it's very good. Except for rust / corrosion. These things start to rust out at the first rain and or winter. For that reason alone, I won't purchase one or recommend it!
You didn't watch the first minute? Lots of people with safety glasses as workers in A-Fab (body) need them. Painters obviously wear full face masks, but other than them people in paintshop do not need glasses and neither does virtually anyone in final assembly.
The French vans are all galvanized and it's the running gear that fails, MB have the best drivetrain on the planet but rot quicker than willy wonkers teeth.

não compensa compra um carrão desse a mão de obra de parte de mecânica muito caro fora do normal de muito problema de sensor mas vala apena investir no caminhão porque os preços e quese igual
Truly a rust bucket, nothing but engine and mechanical problems, nothing but sensor problems, would they just not make a good van, cause they can make a good van if they want, money money money.
Well over priced rust buckets. I have never seen a MERCEDES!!!!!!!!!!! SPRINTER VAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Without any form of corrosion. Over priced Rubbish vans. Rust our us should be their Logo.
Aqui no Brasil. O motor é o om651 la. Acho um motor ruim. Fraco para esse carro. Pesado. Deixa a desejar. Lamentável usar esse motor fraco em um veículo pesado. Motor 2.2. turbo problemático.

The best van on earth to drive and reliability let down by piss poor quality control when it comes to corrosion.
Those proud Europeans 🇪🇺. They take pride in their work.

I have a sweet spot for Sprinters: the RUST spot.
specially on the Wheel arch
Watch at least to 11:47 ❤️

I want see sprinter chassis making in factory
😭i love you mercedes

That’s actually with every Transporter in this category
when will they start galvanizing them as a option extra, would it warp the body panels if they did?
Tom I
RustBuckets. I seen it all. no galvanising no rust protection
Hey meeennn! Rust problem is outside not on the inside floor!
JORA MOTORSPORT TEAM I read it's the roof that leaks..into the interior
Where is the rust added?
After seeing this, I now know why the corrosion occurs around the hinges. They really need to fix this, such basic stuff they miss.
Assembly line in Germany. Nobody wears safety glasses! Unimaginable in the US.
You didn't watch the first minute? Lots of people with safety glasses as workers in A-Fab (body) need them. Painters obviously wear full face masks, but other than them people in paintshop do not need glasses and neither does virtually anyone in final assembly.
Yes, but no school shootings in Germany so take your pick as to which country is safer.
after only 3 years of use it corodes
Yes, I wonder where in the process all the rust is added :D In Denmark a Sprinter is a rust bucket after only few years :'D
Agree. Such a shame for Mercedes Benz
It could so easily be avoided by submerging the completed body shell in an anticorrosive liquid prior to painting as is most cars...
The French vans are all galvanized and it's the running gear that fails, MB have the best drivetrain on the planet but rot quicker than willy wonkers teeth.
Turbo Conquering Mega Eagle PSA vans was good with 3.0 4 cylinder diesel Iveco engine...but weak part was PSA gearbox :(
Almanya bu işi iyi biliyor
and what is the corrosion on the wheels rusting after leaving the factory
Espetacular!
please make video toyota vellfire production
Rostet schneller als der gebaut wird.
Is it possible to go on a factory tour?
not at the moment, cause the new model is running
kampfmaulwurf123 thanks, my was just in Monheim am Rhein for work, we're actually looking to get the new model Sprinter passanger van.
¿Por qué algunas versiones traen luces laterales y otras no?

Aqui no Brasil. A manutenção é caríssima.
A Mercedes Benz. Está perdendo mercado.
Sem falar que tem. Os defeitos crônicos.

So.….any rust problems with these???

Look at all those workers. They seems unhappy face all the time.
I fell asleep halfway through. Did they finish making the car?
Indeed very very poor filming, timeline crossing, and very very boring.......also never see the end.......
GTFO!! ☞

Nope, they still have to put wheels/tires on, lol

Rust buckets. Terrible.
Those workers look board and not happy

All of these are rust buckets.

That's because they are...

What BS the MB is up to? Instead of a proper e-coat some minions are doing a Mickey Mouse job. No wonder they rust like crazy!
Ducato is better
