The Dodge Sprinter is made by Mercedes-Benz. The first generation of the North American Sprinter was launched in 2002 and was originally branded as a Freightliner. In 2003, it received Dodge branding, and after that, they were sold concurrently under the Freightliner and Dodge nameplates. However, DaimlerChrysler chose not to badge the Sprinter as a Mercedes. The Dodge Sprinter was sold from 2003 to 2009, and it was identical to the Freightliner Sprinter except for minor styling details and badging.
