Why Choose a Cargo Van for Your Business

For many businesses, the fleet of vehicles is the workhorse - carrying tools, equipment, and workers to job sites - to ensure the job gets done and customers are satisfied. Purchasing a work vehicle defines the work you do, the customers you serve, and the employees you hire. When it comes time to purchase a new vehicle for your fleet, consider the size, versatility, and capabilities of a Sprinter Cargo Van. 

 

Benefits of a Cargo Van

A cargo van offers many benefits for your business, including:

  • Dependability: Cargo vans are known industry-wide for their reliability and safety features.

  • Cargo: Designed with storage in mind, cargo vans offer 100 to 500 cubic feet of space.

  • Climate Control: If you are a florist or caterer, a cargo van can be customized and upfitted to preserve your products.

  • Maneuverability: Cargo vans are easier to move through city streets than heavy-duty trucks and are often more comfortable.

  • Branding: Cargo vans can be custom-branded to promote your business while traveling between job sites.

  • Tax Benefits: With the Section 179 tax deduction rule, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows businesses to deduct up to 100% of vehicle payments during the first year.
