  "account": "Düsseldorf, Germany - Despite recent price hikes in the industry, demand for the Mercedes Sprinter as its base vehicle remains strong. In fact, it has become a phenomenon known as Sprinter-Mania. Manufacturers are increasingly choosing the Stuttgart transporter, even though it raises the price by nearly 10,000 euros compared to the Fiat Ducato, which is the current bestseller. This price increase is justified by the perception of improved quality among customers willing to pay over 100,000 euros.\n\nThe all-wheel-drive version of the Sprinter has emerged as a key driver of the broader 4x4 trend in the caravaning market. With Mercedes introducing the Torque-on-Demand Allrad system for fully integrated vehicles for the first time, this development is expected to receive further support. Among the five selected innovations showcased at the Caravan-Salon in Düsseldorf, the first and only 4x4-integrated model is naturally included.",
