Devon-based business gives top marks to Sprinter03 February 2014

Road marking and surfacing company Quality Marking Services (QMS) has extended its vehicle fleet with two Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 313 CDIs.

The medium-length, high-roofed vehicles are being used by two-man teams from the Newton Abbot-based business to apply markings in locations such as walkways, supermarket aisles and warehouses.

"The first vehicle we bought was a second-hand Sprinter and we've been running Mercedes-Benz vehicles ever since, as they've always been very reliable and cost-effective to operate," explains Greg Clark, QMS operations director.

"One of the new vans replaced a Sprinter that had been a very good workhorse for seven years."

The new Sprinter offers 7% better fuel efficiency than the outgoing model and includes safety features such as Crosswind Assist, which detects sudden gusts of wind and applies brakes on one side to prevent the vehicle drifting out of its lane.

QMS has now also placed an order for a Mercedes-Benz Vito van, also from dealer City West Commercials, with funding from Mercedes-Benz Financial Services.
