Mercedes-Benz Metris MasterSolutions Toolbox Van
Toolbox on wheels
Mercedes unveiled a concept version of the Metris called the MasterSolutions Toolbox. It was built to highlight Mercedes’ MasterSolutions program, which allows customers to order “upfit” equipment from third-party companies. True to its name, this kitted-out van is a toolbox on wheels.
All it takes is one look to realize that. The Metris MasterSolutions Toolbox actually sports a giant handle and latches, just like a giant toolbox. On the inside, it features an array of shelves, racks, and removable cases from some of the companies Mercedes works with in its MasterSolutions program, including Ranger Design and Knapheide. The cargo area is separated from the driver by a plastic partition, and has a tile floor designed to be both grippy and easy to clean.
