Tailor-made transport: an idea with staying powerTake the advantages of a van, combine them with the strengths of a light-duty truckand apply a modular principle. The result is a recipe for success – a recipe to whichthe Vario owes its exceptional positioning within the van segment. To ensure that itmaintains that position, we have built in a little future-proofing – with modifiedengines and transmissions, a new interior and above all with BlueTec ® – SCR dieseltechnology from Mercedes-Benz, which enables your Vario to comply with the EURO 4emissions standard.The Vario is available in over 60 ex -factory variants, models ranging fromthe more conventional panel van tochassis versions for specific body solutions.This immensely broad, application-orientedrange and the wide varietyof individualisation and custom-bodyoptions ensure that there is a Vario forvirtually every commercial need. Orin other words, the Vario that doesn’texist has yet to be invented.▸▸▸▸▸▸▸▸▸Over 60 variants ex factory andaround 500 items of special equipmentA variety of bodies such as panel van,pickup or tipperStandard cab or crewcab2 different roof heightsComfortable workplace, easy handlingand tremendous ease of loading4 wheelbases from 3150 mmto 4800 mm2 weight variants: 5.99 t and 7.49 twith further uprated and downratedvariantsLoad capacity of 10.4 m³ to 17.4 m³Strong, robust, ladder-type framemore familiar on a truck, combinedwith typical van qualities such aslow frame height and, as an option,through-access from the cab to theload area▸▸▸▸▸Vario chassis as ideal foundation forcustom-bodied solutions3 modified four-cylinder dieselengines with high maximum torqueand up to 130 kW (177 hp)Cost-effective compliance with EURO 4emissions standard, thanks topioneering BlueTec ® SCR diesel technology6-speed manual transmission forall models, 5-speed automatic transmissionas an option (not for tipperor all-wheel drive)Vario 813 DA, 816 DA and 818 DAavailable with permanent all-wheeldrive4Concept and variants

Presenting the ideal business modelBased on an adaptable range of combinations and custom-body options, the Variomodel series offers tailor-made yet cost-effective vans for your transportation needs.Ideal, whether you’re transporting packaged or bulk goods, urgent deliveries orsensitive items, tools or a whole team of workers. Whichever variant you decide on,there are certain core qualities that all of our Vario models share – the legendaryquality, reliability and longevity that characterise a Mercedes-Benz van.

The pickup. A reliable partnerWith its proven record as a hard worker, the Vario pickup offers maximum payloadlimits which make it perfect for heavy loads – ideal, for example, in the constructionindustry, in the building materials trade, in the haulage sector or when transportingpackaged goods. It is available with a standard cab or a crewcab. The crewcab comfortablyseats up to 7 – and still leaves plenty of room for cargo in the pickup body.Choosing a Vario pickup means refusingto compromise – both in terms of suitabilityfor everyday use and in terms oflongevity. The various sizes of aluminiumplatforms feature solid fixtures anda robust design – everything is whereit should be, and there is an unmistakablelogic behind every design decision.You can tell straight away that this isa van that is based on practical expertiseand designed for practical use.▸▸▸▸▸▸Four wheelbase variantsLoad area of 6.92 m² to 14.79 m²Payload of approx. 2.5 t to around4.2 t, depending on model and weightcategoryCrewcab with space for up to 7 peopleAluminium platform with non-slipplywood floor with textured surfaceAll three sides of the aluminium platformcan be dropped down completelyfor easy loading and unloading▸▸▸▸▸▸Non-slip, folding step as standardSecuring rings as easy and safemeans of restraining loadExtra-wide pickup body with aluminiumsides as an optionTarpaulin hoops available as an optionPre-installation for loading tailgate asan optionAll-wheel-drive version also available(3700-mm wheelbase)10The Vario pickup

The tipper. A versatile all-rounderWhen the load is heavy and the roads are narrow, the Vario tipper comes into its own.With power steering and a turning circle approaching that of a car, it is as impressiveon cramped building sites as it is in the horticulture and landscaping sectors. Theextremely practical combination of high payload and easy handling is also availablewith a crewcab as an option.True to their origins, all Vario tippersare extremely versatile. Configured as athree-way tipper ex factory, they can beloaded with up to around 3.8 tonnes andunloaded from the right, left or rear.And if you have to deal with more thanyour fair share of rough terrain, youwill appreciate the versions with permanentall-wheel drive and standard-fittedinter-axle and rear differential locks.▸▸▸▸Two wheelbase variantsPayload of up to around 3.8 t thanksto reinforced tipper body and reinforcedframeAvailable with optional crewcab,which seats up to 7, instead ofstandard cabVario 813 DA/816 DA /818 DA allwheel-drivetippers designed for useon rough terrain (3700-mm wheelbase)12The Vario tipper

The ideal workplaceThe timeless design is continued inside the Vario. You’ll be impressed by the clearlayout and functionality of the cab and the robustness of the materials used. There isspace in abundance on board – and ample comfort for up to 7 people. Comfort isa key factor here. After all, the job itself is stressful enough.

GlossaryAdBlueFuel tankSCR cat.BlueTec ® SCR diesel technologyBlueTec ® is the pioneering SCR dieseltechnology from Mercedes-Benz:a cost-effective and ecological solutionwhich helps your Vario to comply withthe EURO 4 emissions standard. TheSCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction)exhaust gas treatment process is theonly technology capable of ensuringthe necessary reduction in exhaustgas emissions while optimising engineoutput and fuel consumption at thesame time. The BlueTec ® system includesmodified engines with a higher peakpressure, which improves combustion andreduces the number of particulates.Further components of the system includea catalytic converter and an AdBluetank. AdBlue additive is simply filled upfrom a pump and carried in this separatetank on board. From here it is fedvia a metering unit into the exhaust gasfrom the engine and is converted by theheat into ammonia, which is requiredfor the chemical reaction in the catalyticconverter. The catalytic reaction hereconverts the nitrogen oxides into ecologicallyharmless substances – nitrogenand water.Anti-lock braking system (ABS)ABS prevents the wheels from lockingduring braking. Speed sensors contin -u ously monitor the speed of each wheel.If ABS detects that a wheel is at risk oflocking up, the brake pressure isreduced. When the danger of lockinghas been averted, the pressure isincreased again. ABS helps the driverto maintain steering control of thevan, even during emergency braking.All-wheel driveThe permanent all-wheel-drive variantsof the Vario deliver enhanced pullingpower and traction on difficult terrain.A selectable off-road ratio ensures greatertractive power on rough ground. Tofurther improve traction, both the differentialin the transfer case and the rearaxle differential can be locked.Differential lockThe differential lock ensures that thewheels of a driven axle turn at the samespeed. This prevents individual wheelsfrom spinning, which improves tractionand enhances safety, particularly onuneven or slippery surfaces, when pullingaway on a gradient or on roughterrain.Driver’s front airbagTo round off the safety equipment, afront airbag is available for the Vario’sdriver’s seat. It enhances driver safety,acting in partnership with the seat beltas an additional retention system.Note: Airbags in no way diminish theneed for occupants to fasten their seatbelts correctly at all times.44 Glossary

Load restraintDue to the dynamic forces which occurwhen transporting goods, an unsecuredload can start moving uncontrollablydue to slipping, tilting or rolling, thusincreasing the risk of accident andinjury.With their load-restraint systems andwide range of special equipment,Mercedes-Benz vans provide professionalload-securing solutions. The Varioincludes a range of different bulkheadvariants and optional load-securingrings.(Above left and centre)Load restraint is primarily achieved by placingloads against the front or rear bulkheads and thesides of the vehicles, and then filling any gaps.It is also possible to use aids such as braces, barsor partition nets or cargo barriers (direct loadrestraint).(Above right)Loads can be tied down to the floor using lashings.This increases friction between load and floor, preventingslippage (indirect load restraint)Safety steering columnThe safety steering column, installedin the Vario in conjunction with thedriver’s front airbag, helps to reducemovement of the steering column inthe event of a frontal collision. The aimis to minimise the risk of injury forthe Vario driver in a frontal collision.The various joints and telescopicsections allow the safety steering columnto yield in a frontal collision.In this way the movement of the steeringwheel is largely decoupled fromthe deformation of the front-end structureof the vehicle.Three-point seat belts with belttensionersCorrectly worn three-point seat beltsrestrain vehicle occupants in their seatsin the event of a frontal collision. Thesystem can be extended with a pyrotechnicbelt tensioner, which is availablein conjunction with the driver’s frontairbag. If the belt tensioner is activatedvia the airbag control unit, it tautens theseat belt in fractions of a second. Thismeans that the occupant takes part in thecollision-induced vehicle decelerationin longitudinal direction at an early stageand as a result is subjected to a lowerdynamic load. It can also reduce forwarddisplacement of the occupant, so thedanger of the head and body contactingthe steering wheel and/or interiorcomponents is reduced. If the driver’sfront airbag (special equipment) isselected, the driver’s seat is fitted withthe belt tensioner as standard.Note: Never drive without wearingyour seat belt!45
