The Mercedes-Benz VanPartner Accreditation is an internationally recognised mark of quality and craftsmanship. By joining the programme, you become part of a network of highly skilled Partners who are dedicated to creating the best outcomes for our shared customers.

Being an accredited commercial van conversion Partner has a range of benefits for your business.

Bodybuilders are awarded an accreditation when they meet the criteria for one of the tiers. All Partner levels represent a commitment to quality and craftsmanship, developing over time into a strong partnership with Mercedes-Benz.

This is an independent and impartial accreditation delivered by our industry partner, Logistics UK, who provides support and evaluates the applicant’s capabilities on our behalf.

1. Associate VanPartner
Logistics UK will guide you through the completion of a questionnaire which will test your knowledge of Mercedes-Benz Body and Equipment Mounting Directives as well as questions about other industry specific points, regulatory requirements and best practice. The cost of this evaluation is £495.

2. VanPartner
Building on the foundation of the Desktop Evaluation, the Logistics UK team will help set you up on the Bodybuilder Portal. They will then carry out a full one-day evaluation of your operation, covering quality, sales and service topics. Demonstrations of engineering and regulatory requirements in real world conditions will also be required. Following this, the team will monitor one of your van conversions from concept to dispatch. The cost of this evaluation is £1,555.

3. Strategic Partner
Through working with us as a valued VanPartner, you may be selected to become a Strategic Partner and work with us on core product solutions – contributing to a portfolio that can be supplied directly to the customer.
