Specially designed as a wheelchair accessible taxi, the MV-1 nearly went out of production for good in 2013 only to be revived by AM General soon after. It has since found a niche as one of the only purpose-built cabs on the market. It's also approved for use as a NYC Yellow Cab due to its handicap accessibility.
This one is working for Access-a-Ride, which is NY's paratransit taxi system. Access-a-Ride vehicles are operated by independent contractors, but owned by the MTA. The MTA may be the largest operator of MV-1s in the area.
The Freightliner Sprinter is just a rebadged Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. The rebadge is facilitated by the fact that both Mercedes and Freightliner exist under the Daimler umbrella.
The Freightliner makes sense as an acquisition for a fleet like the NYPD, since the idea of a government acquiring Mercedes-badged vehicles (seen almost exclusively as prestigious luxury vehicles here in North America) might invite some public outcry. The Freightliner variant allows the NYPD to get all the benefits of the Sprinter without the badge issues.

Manif fonction publique 22 mars 2018
Grosse mobilisation à Lyon !
15.000 manifestants
Demontration in Lyon, France, to maintain our public services - against government's laws.
French people protesting against upcoming reforms bad for the quality of public services. As a result of those reforms, criteria of public service begin to give way to those of profitability. Our state services in France (heath, school, railway...) are among the best services in the world. But all the reforms impulsed by the government aim to slowly replace this very efficient public sector (open to everybody) by a private sector only focussed on financial gains. State-based social services and welfare entitlements are cut back or replaced by market-based provisions available only to those who can afford to pay.
On March 22, hundreds of thousands of nurses, teachers and other public sector workers joined forces to march against French President Emmanuel Macron’s reforms all over the country yesterday.
Estimates of the numbers of those joining rallies held in some 140 locations across the country vary between 323,000 (the ‘official’ tally) and 500,000, the figure issued by the Confédération Générale du Travail (CGT), one of the principal trade union organiser of the action.
