Mercedes-Benz 319 - Der legendäre Mercedes-Transporter 1956-1967

The L 319 was the first Mercedes van of the post-war period and formed the basis for the company's minibuses. The robust construction with leaf-sprung rigid axles was not for gourmets, but was perfectly suited to the tough demands of use in trade and industry.

In 1963, the company renamed its trucks and vans. Afterwards the models made an international career: first built in Sindelfingen and later in Düsseldorf. Parts kits also traveled for assembly to the Spanish plant in Vitoria and to Argentina.

Mercedes-Benz Transporter - Von Bremern, Düsseldorfern, Sprintern & Co.

In 1896, Carl Benz invented the "delivery van", the forerunner of the van vehicle category. 2021 marked the 125th anniversary of this. In between, the exciting history of a renowned premium brand with ups and downs unfolds.
In the meantime, the then Daimler-Benz AG saw itself as a pure car and truck manufacturer, today Daimler is a full-range supplier with an extensive van range.

In this volume, Randolf Unruh describes the history of the Mercedes vans from their beginnings at Benz and Daimler through the first joint models from 1926, the new start after the war and the development thereafter (including cooperation with VW and Renault) up to the present day.
