OC 500 chassis for buses and coaches now with ESP

OC 500 chassis for buses and coaches now with ESPThe Mercedes-Benz OC 500 RF chassis for buses and coaches produced in Sámano (Spain) is now available for two-axle touring coaches with ESP (Electronic Stability Program). This measure greatly enhances safety for buses and coaches based on chassis units and bodies. ESP helps to greatly reduce the risk of skidding, within the laws of physics, when cornering or performing evasive manoeuvres. If the bus or coach gets into a critical driving situation, ESP applies the brakes specifically and precisely at individual wheels to reduce the vehicle's speed until driving stability is restored. In the EU, ESP will be obligatory for touring coaches from 2014, for rural-service buses from 2015 and...

Mercedes-Benz hybrid buses

Mercedes-Benz hybrid busesMercedes-Benz Citaro G BlueTec HybridTo date the Citaro G BlueTec Hybrid is the only hybrid bus able to cover sections of its route under purely electric power, without its diesel engine, and arrive at bus-stops almost silently. Without the usual engine noise, it then moves off just as quietly to cover several bus-stops on the route. The bus is powered by four electric wheel hub motors which obtain their power from one of the world's largest lithium-ion batteries in automotive use. Electrical power is generated by braking recuperation, and when required it can also be obtained from a generator driven by a comparatively small diesel engine for this vehicle class. Specialists refer to this configuration as...
