What Is The L.A. West Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
The L.A. West Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is the flagship of the Carpenter Bus Sales luxury van lineup. Built by L.A. West — a certified Mercedes-Benz Expert Upfitter and division of Forest River Bus & Van — every Sprinter conversion combines more than 30 years of coachbuilding expertise with factory-level integration into the Mercedes-Benz electrical and mechanical platform.
Available in three configurations — Executive Portal Door, Executive Sliding Door, and Executive Paratransit — the Sprinter offers the widest range of luxury floorplans in the L.A. West catalog. From an intimate 6-passenger executive salon to a 19-passenger shuttle with overhead parcel racks, every configuration features automotive-grade materials, individually ducted climate control, and a 7-speaker entertainment system.
Whether you need an upscale livery vehicle, a premium hotel shuttle, or an ADA-accessible executive transport, the L.A. West Mercedes-Benz Sprinter delivers a level of refinement that standard shuttle buses cannot match.
