Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles from Daimler AG have once again made it to the top in five out of ten categories in the ETM publishing house’s readers’ poll to find “The best commercial vehicles of 2009″. This year was the 13th time the vote has been held. Nearly 9,000 expert participants in the survey of readers cast their votes in this year’s poll in which there were 167 candidates representing brands from a total of ten different countries.

I am very proud that our Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicles have done so well in the ETM readers’ poll. We at Daimler are very happy that the well-informed reading public has voted for commercial vehicles bearing the Mercedes star,” said Andreas Renschler, Member of the Daimler AG Board of Management with responsibility for Daimler Trucks and Daimler Buses at the ETM readers’ poll awards ceremony.

This is now the thirteenth consecutive time that serial winner the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has achieved victory in the segment “Vans up to 3.5 t”, so it has won every single readers’ poll that has been organised by the Stuttgart-based publisher of professional journals.
