The Mercedes-Benz Vito is a light commercial vehicle manufactured by Mercedes-Benz, and we have been a VanPartner since 2018! The first generation of these commercial vehicles was introduced in 1996. The third generation, the Mercedes-Benz Vito 447, was launched in 2014 and this is also the model that we can outfit with a double cabin.
By equipping the Mercedes-Benz Vito with a double cabin, you create an extra row of seats. This allows you to transport more people, which is useful if you often work with several people on a job or project. Thanks to the double cabin, you can work faster and more efficiently, while also saving on costs. After all, you no longer need to drive multiple company vehicles to a location.
A Mercedes-Benz Vito 447 with a double cabin gives you multiple options. As mentioned, the extra row of seats allows you to travel with more colleagues. This not only means you do not need to deploy an extra van, but you also save on fuel and other costs.
In addition, the Mercedes-Benz Vito 447 with a double cabin makes it perfect for vacations. You will have more than enough space in the back for luggage, while six people can sit in the front. And you don’t have to worry about compromising on safety, as everyone is securely fastened with a three-point seatbelt.
As a vehicle with a commercial license plate, a Mercedes-Benz Vito 447 with a double cab was fiscally attractive for many years, because you could benefit from tax advantages and lower tax premiums. Unfortunately, the commercial license plate scheme for entrepreneurs will be discontinued starting in 2025. From January 1, 2025, entrepreneurs will have to pay the full BPM (tax on passenger cars and motorcycles) upon purchase.
A delivery van or company vehicle like the Mercedes-Benz Vito 447 emits more CO2, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter than a passenger car. This was a reason for the cabinet to abolish the exemption for vehicles with a commercial license plate starting in 2025.
From that year, the BPM will be calculated based on CO2 emissions (just like with passenger cars). It amounts to 66.90 euros per gram of CO2. This quickly amounts to ten to twenty thousand euros in taxes.
If you choose to have your Mercedes-Benz Vito converted by Blix Automotive (directly from the factory), we will naturally ensure that this versatile commercial vehicle complies with all European standards and requirements. What does this mean in practice? For instance, we provide all seats with a three-point seatbelt and headrest. We also ensure that the Vito with double cab meets the requirements set by the RDW for the design of a (modified) delivery van. Want to know more? Read more about our guarantees.
With a Mercedes-Benz Vito with a double cab, you obviously want to hit the road safely, but at the same time, you probably also want everything to look top-notch. Blix pays a lot of attention to the finish and appearance of your converted company car. We ensure there is a clear and solid separation between the cargo space and the passenger area. But we also make sure the upholstery seamlessly matches the existing interior of your Vito.
