Mercedes-Benz MB100
The Mercedes-Benz MB100 was a van made by Mercedes-Benz Espana SA from 1981 to 1995 at their Vitoria factory in northern Spain. It was offered as a cargo van, a passenger van, and a pickup truck.[1]
Mercedes-Benz España SA had obtained the Vitoria factory from Industrias del Motor S.A. (IMOSA), which had been making their F1000L van there. The F1000L was a development of the DKW Schnellaster, but with a Mercedes-Benz diesel engine instead of the original DKW 2-stroke petrol engine. The MB100 was a further development of IMOSA's F1000L van.[citation needed]
The MB100 was powered by a 2.4 litre diesel making about 55 kW (73 hp), an engine also used in the Mercedes Benz 207D.[citation needed]
The MB100 was offered in Germany from 1987 to 1995 as an extension of Daimler-Benz's commercial motor vehicle range.[1] In 1992 the MB100 was given a slanted radiator and an extended front end, intended among other things to enhance safety in a collision.
The MB100 was replaced by the Mercedes-Benz Vito in 1996.[2]

In 1999, DaimlerChrysler Australia/Pacific introduced the MB100 and the MB140, a larger derivative of the MB100, to the Australian and Pacific markets.[4] These vans were manufactured under licence by the SsangYong Motor Company, which also made a rebadged version called the SsangYong Istana.[citation needed]
