About the AERO SPRINTER · Theault since 1924

The Mercedes Sprinter AERO, with the 9G-TRONIC automatic.

Sister to the AERO Master on a Sprinter PRO 170HP chassis, 3.5T as standard with a 4.5T option for heavier loads.

The AERO Sprinter is the Mercedes-chassis option in the AERO range, sitting alongside the Renault-Master-based AERO Master. Theault frames the AERO as a single platform with two chassis choices, not a tiered range. The differentiator is the driveline: a Mercedes Sprinter PRO 170HP with the 9G-TRONIC nine-speed automatic, plus the safety and convenience kit Mercedes bundles into the PRO trim.

The horse area is the standard AERO build. Theault's patented Switch system as standard, 1.20m rear door, anti-slip rubber tack and horse area, 8 interior tie rings, 4 sliding UV windows with protection grills (one on the rear door), 2 ventilation skylights, and an electrical air extractor with integrated blue light. Reversing and horse-area cameras feed a screen in the cab.

The truck is offered in Pro, Select, and Select+ trims. Pro is the standard build covered in the spec sheet. Select and Select+ add cabin, lighting, and comfort upgrades on top, with Select+ adding 'a la carte' options for full personalisation. Available in 3.5T standard and 4.5T for operators who need more payload.

Chassis note

The Mercedes Sprinter PRO 170HP with the 9G-TRONIC automatic is the chassis on the Sprinter. The AERO body, ramp, and horse area are common with the Renault-based AERO Master, so the choice between the two is a driveline and dealer-network call. The 9G-TRONIC and Mercedes driver-assistance stack are the real differentiators.

From Theault owners

What our customers say about their Theault horseboxes.

We have been buying Theault Horseboxes since 2006. They are exceptionally well built and designed with horses in mind. Horses travel really well in them. They're so much safer than a jeep and trailer, as you can monitor exactly how your horse is travelling at all times.

Ballinroe Horse Transport

The Theault has honestly made a massive difference to how we manage and move the horses. What I love is that you can drive it on a car licence, so anyone on the team can take it out. Having the lads just up the road means servicing is dead handy too. The horses are always safe and settled in it, you couldn't ask for more.

Ballypatrick · GBBS International

The main thing for me is that it just looks super smart, and I can drive it on a car licence. I went for the five-seater, so it's really family-friendly. The horses travel so safely in it, especially with the stallion partitions. With Reece and the team just down the road, it really was a no-brainer for me.
