The electric, fully automatic step from the TCE series for the Mercedes Sprinter is designed for professional continuous use – wherever safe access is crucial and frequency of use is high. With a load capacity of 400 kg, a large tread surface, and integrated safety features, it is a robust access solution for taxis, shuttles, and mobility vehicles.
Side, fully automatic step – TCE series for Mercedes Sprinter
The TCE heavy-duty telescopic side step combines high load capacity with fully automatic operation. It is suitable for:
-
Mercedes Sprinter from 2006 onwards (type 906)
-
Mercedes Sprinter from model year 2018 (type 907)
Important requirements:
Only suitable for rear-wheel drive vehicles.
Please note: The step is not suitable for short wheelbases.
The generous step surface of 1200 × 300 mm allows several people to get in or out safely at the same time. This is particularly advantageous for frequent stops, tight schedules, and changing user groups.
Areas of application on the Mercedes Sprinter
In the Sprinter environment, the TCE step is particularly frequently used where vehicles have to cope with many entries and exits in daily operation and where entry for passengers must remain reliable and comfortable.
-
Shuttle and hotel transfers (high frequency, changing passengers)
-
Passenger transport and special vehicles (e.g., conversions)
-
Disabled and mobility transport (safe, stable entry)
-
Taxi and rental car operations (robust heavy-duty solution)
Technical data and basic equipment
The TCE series is designed for intensive use under a wide range of conditions. The robust construction, protected drive, and standard safety features ensure reliable operation in everyday use.

Delimitation: When is the TCE the right choice for the Sprinter?
The TCE is particularly useful when a heavy-duty entry solution is required for the Sprinter that can reliably handle high loads, frequent cycles, and changing operating conditions. The correct vehicle base is important here: rear-wheel drive and a wheelbase that matches the step (not a short wheelbase).
Conclusion
The electric, fully automatic TCE step for Mercedes Sprinter is a robust heavy-duty solution for demanding applications in passenger and special transport. With a load capacity of 400 kg, a large step surface, and integrated obstacle detection, it offers a high level of safety and comfort – provided that the vehicle meets the criteria of rear-wheel drive and a suitable wheelbase.
FAQ – TCE step for Mercedes Sprinter (906/907)
For which Sprinter models is the TCE step suitable?
The TCE step is designed for Mercedes Sprinters built from 2006 (type 906) and from 2018 (type 907) onwards. The drive type is also a decisive factor: the design is only suitable for rear-wheel drive.
Why is the step only approved for rear-wheel drive?
In certain Sprinter configurations, the underbody structure, installation space, and add-on parts in the sill area differ. For this TCE variant, the fit and installation are explicitly designed for rear-wheel drive to ensure reliable installation position, stability, and function.
Why is the TCE step not suitable for short wheelbases?
With a short wheelbase, the distances and positions of relevant mounting points change. This TCE version is designed for other vehicle geometries – therefore, it is not intended for short wheelbases in order to avoid collisions, unfavorable positioning, or restrictions when extending.
What special features does the TCE offer in shuttle and transfer operations?
The combination of a large step surface (1200 × 300 mm) and a load capacity of 400 kg makes it particularly practical when several people frequently get in and out of the vehicle at almost the same time. This is a clear advantage over narrower steps in everyday shuttle or hotel transfer operations.
How does obstacle detection (autostop) increase operational safety?
The integrated obstacle detection (autostop) stops the step when resistance is detected during extension or retraction. This reduces the risk of damage in everyday use – for example, on curbs, uneven ground, or in tight parking spaces.
