“The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the perfect companion to the iconic ECTO-1 for our new Ghostbusters engineering team. How else are they gonna lug a bunch of proton packs around New York City, and do it in style?”
–Gil Kenan – Director of Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire

A customized Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, equipped with specialized features including a pull-out rack for equipment, supernatural storage capabilities, heated seats, and advanced three-pointed-star assistant systems, joins forces with both the original and new Ghostbusters crew in New York City, just outside Central Islip, Ronkonkoma, Bohemia, and Stony Brook, New York, at Ghostbuster’s renowned Hook & Ladder Company 8, to take down spectral enemies!

With its tailored adaptations specifically for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Sprinter ECTO-Z proudly stands as the sole officially engineered Ghostbusters vehicle alongside the beloved 1984 ECTO-1.

“When things are starting to get tough, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter first responder vehicles will help save the day. Like the ECTO-Z, these vehicles are built to get the most-demanding jobs done. This was the initial thought behind our van choice for the movie. The real potential was shown after we completed the upfitting process and realized just how endless the possibilities are inside the van.“
–Dennis McCarthy – Vehicle Effects (vehicle upfitter)

Since its inception, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter has set the standard in the commercial van realm, continuously refining benchmarks for daily operations. Emphasizing safety, ergonomics, efficiency, and comfort, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van remains at the forefront of commercial vehicle innovation. Guided by the three-pointed star, the Ghostbusters harness the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van’s structured storage capabilities and customizable upfitting options—Refrigeration, Box Trucks, and Utility Trucks—tailored to Long Island‘s diverse needs. From everyday commuters and delivery services to filmmakers and medical transport, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van, including the iconic ECTO-Z, offers unparalleled adaptability for any business or endeavor!
