An exhibition stand with a surface of 2700 square metres featuring eight innovative buses and touring coaches from Mercedes-Benz and Setra. Three more vehicles from the two major bus and touring coach brands on display in the outdoor exhibition area, including two spectacular vehicles ready for test drives. A wealth of premieres on the linked topics of electromobility, safety and sustainability, numerous innovations in buses and touring coaches, new and innovative services from the Omniplus service brand, the anniversary of BusStore, the leading used bus and touring coach brand – between 7 and 12 October, Daimler Buses presents its innovative strength at Busworld Europe 2023 in Brussels and underlines its leading role both in the transformation to electromobility and in the development of new safety and assistance systems as well as sustainable transport with regular-service buses and touring coaches in Europe and throughout the world.
Mercedes-Benz: eMobility for city buses, the economical Intouro, comprehensively enhanced Tourismo
The versatile and economical Mercedes-Benz Intouro hybrid intercity bus welcomes visitors at the entrance to the bus and touring coach trade fair. Within the exhibition halls, the all-electric eCitaro fuel cell solo bus featuring a fuel cell is celebrating its premiere. Next to it, an eCitaro with the latest NMC3 battery generation and performance package as well as the Brazilian eO500U city bus chassis as a European premiere are exhibited.
Together, these three define the high level of development of locally emission-free city buses – with this trio, cities in Europe and beyond will become more liveable. Anyone wanting to experience this live at the wheel or ride along will also have the opportunity to do so: a Mercedes-Benz eCitaro G fuel cell is available for test drives outside – it extends the trio of vehicles to a quartet.
The Mercedes-Benz Tourismo represents the level of contemporary high-decker touring coaches in the business segment at the exhibition stand in Brussels. In many respects, it has undergone crucial further development ahead of the trade fair, combining cost-effectiveness, safety and comfort.
In addition to the elegant anthracite metallic paintwork, all vehicles bearing the Mercedes star share a host of new safety and assistance systems. Mercedes-Benz as a synonym for safety – this will once again be evident at Busworld Europe 2023 in Brussels.
Setra: new MultiClass LE, further upgraded, fascinating touring coaches, extravagant appearance
Setra is also inseparably linked to safety. The exhibition vehicles’ innovations at Busworld Europe 2023 in Brussels once again underline this. The recently unveiled Setra MultiClass LE model series is celebrating its trade fair premiere – an extremely versatile intercity bus with low-entry design, which is equally outstanding when operated as a city bus and in suburban traffic. The new, top-of-the-range S 518 LE model demonstrates the remarkable format of the new MultiClass LE in the exhibition’s outdoor area: the three-axle intercity giant with a length of 14.5 metres is ready for test drives – and presents itself with numerous new and further developed safety features.
The fascinating touring coaches also benefit from these: the Setra ComfortClass high-decker, the TopClass super-high-decker and the stylishly upgraded Setra S 531 DT double-decker touring coach. Celebrating their premiere a year ago, they are already taking the next step, once again emphasising their technological leadership role. A dash of extravagance is a must for Setra: this applies to the selected comfort equipment in the touring coaches as well as their appearance with warm and unmistakable honey yellow metallic paintwork – a Setra is always a statement.
