A second electrically powered eIntouro inter‑city bus is ready for test drives in the outdoor display area of Busworld Europe 2025 in Brussels. The 12.18‑meter eIntouro has 49 passenger seats. The vehicle handles operations on inter‑city routes and in plant traffic, on excursions and short trips.

MirrorCam, 360° camera, and the latest safety and assistance systems 

Safety first – the eIntouro is equipped with the latest safety and assistance systems. This includes, for example, Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC), adaptive cruise control (ART) with Active Brake Assist 6 (ABA 6), Traffic Sign Assist, Sideguard Assist 2, and Frontguard Assist for detecting pedestrians and cyclists, Attention Assist, and the tire pressure monitoring system TPM. There are also extended systems such as MirrorCam instead of classic outside mirrors or the 360° camera system for perfect all-round visibility.

Well-designed equipment – comfortable and functional

Floor mats in anthracite and side wall trim in needle felt with granite decor ensure a comfortable and welcoming atmosphere. The in-house manufactured Inter Star Eco seating sets colorful accents with dark yellow seat covers and gray headrests in Composition. The cockpit is driver-oriented and offers perfect ergonomics. The looks and equipment, from the multifunction steering wheel to the electronic parking brake, fully reach touring coach level.

The further equipment of the eIntouro combines comfort and functionality.
A double‑width door two ensures a fast passenger flow and at the same time creates space for a lift. Wheelchairs can be accommodated in the special use area on the left in the direction of travel. Here, two folding seats each in and opposite the direction of travel optimize the space available.

Two battery packs for a range of up to 500 kilometer

The eIntouro at Busworld Europe 2025 is equipped with two battery packs, one directly behind the front axle and one in the previous engine compartment. With a total battery capacity of 414 kWh, a range of up to 500 kilometers^[4] can be achieved without recharging, depending on driving style, topography, and weather conditions. The lithium iron phosphate batteries are characterized by their long service life and the ability to utilize over 95 percent of the installed capacity.

The bus is powered by a central motor with a continuous output of 320 kW, which is coupled with an integrated, automatic three-speed transmission that transfers the drive forces to the well‑known Mercedes‑Benz RO 440 drive axle.
