Here I present a selection of my photographs of delivery vans which, are nearly all brand-new third-generation Mercedes-Benz Sprinters! It shouldn't be hard to find the odd one (yes, one) out. Most of the major supermarkets and parcel couriers seem to have fallen for the third-generation Sprinters, and as a result, with new commercial vehicles entering service due to the online shopping explosion that has been caused by the pandemic.

| A Sainsbury's delivery van leaves Alan Moss Road and enters a roundabout. |
 |
| A Tesco delivery van on Deane Street, about to turn onto Alan Moss Road. |
 |
| An Amazon Prime electric van on Thorpe Acre Road. Amazon ordered 1,800 of these electric vans; the only way you know they're electric is because they say so! |
 |
| Another Prime van, this time on Ashby Road. |
 |
| Another Tesco van, also on Ashby Road. |
 |
| A Morrisons van on Alan Moss Road. |
 |
| Another Morrisons van, this time on Maxwell Drive. |
 |
| So now you see the the odd one out, a sixth-generation Iveco Daily, an older delivery van type in service with Tesco, behind the Morrisons van on Maxwell Drive. |
 |
| Yet another Tesco van (actually apparently the same one that was photographed at Deane Street) on Thorpe Hill. |
 |
| Another Tesco van on Old Ashby Road. |
 |
| A UPS van on Old Ashby Road, outside the Spar. |
Hopefully you now see what exactly I mean, as these photographs were all taken since September 2020.
