Choose the Daily if...
The Daily's GVW range stretches to 7 tonnes, well beyond most van-class rivals, which makes it a common choice where a job needs more payload than a 3.5t van but a full truck licence is impractical for the driver.
Payload and volume figures vary by wheelbase (3.0-4.1m) and roof height (H1/H2/H3); derivatives above 3,500 kg GVW require a category C1 (or C, for the heaviest) driving licence.
Full specifications →Choose the eSprinter if...
The eSprinter trades payload for range and battery size, so fleets running it for last-mile and urban delivery routes typically spec the heavier 4.15-4.25t GVW derivatives to recover payload lost to the battery pack.
Payload varies sharply by battery size (81kWh vs 113kWh) and plated GVW (3.5t vs 4.15-4.25t); figures shown cover L2 and L3 panel van body lengths only.
