The Mercedes-Benz Vario (model designation W670) was a full-size commercial heavy van manufactured by Mercedes-Benz between 1996 and 2013. ==History== The Vario was launched in 1996 as a facelifted version of the Mercedes-Benz T2.〔(Vario replaces the T2 ) ''Commercial Motor'' 3 October 1996〕〔(Mercedes Vario offers variety ) ''Commercial Motor'' 24 October 1996〕 The bodyshell remained relatively unchanged throughout its 17-year production life. The Vario proved a popular base chassis for minibuses and mini-coaches. When new regulations required disabled access, a model with a wheelchair lift was made available. The Vario was fitted with several types of Mercedes-Benz engines. Pre-2000 vehicles used a 5-cylinder OM602LA (2874 cm3) and 4-cylinder OM904LA (4250 cm3), turbocharged and intercooled diesel engine. From September 2000, Vario 618D/818D models were equipped with a 4.2-liter turbo diesel engine with intercooler and direct injection with an output of 136 or 150 hp and torque of 520 or 580 Nm, respectively. The most powerful was a 177 hp, 675Nm engine. With the introduction of the Euro 4 emission standards, the Vario began to be equipped with OM904LA series BlueTec4 turbocharged and intercooled engine with working volume of 4250 cm3 and a power of 129, 156 or 177 hp.〔(Mercedes-Benz Vario ) Truck Planet〕〔(Mercedes-Benz Vario ) ''Commercial Motor'' 5 January 2006〕 Two types of gearboxes were available, a 5-speed automatic.
