Vehicle profile: Mercedes-Benz eIntouro M

• Two battery packs for a range of up to 500 kilometers
• New electronics architecture enables software updates “over-the-air”
• Good for excursions and short trips

At Stand 503 in Hall 5, Daimler Buses will be presenting the new electrically powered eIntouro M with a length of 13.09 meters and equipped with 48 coach‑style seats for short‑distance travel and excursions. The eIntouro M is also suitable for inter-city routes as well as plant and shuttle transport.

At Busworld Europe 2025, the eIntouro M will be presented in a noble bottle green metallic outfit. The new eIntouro M has adopted the body with the steeply protruding windshield, the brand‑typical unit consisting of radiator grille and headlamps as well as the straight and virtually seamlessly smooth side walls from the diesel‑powered Intouro models. But under the familiar dress lies a completely new battery and drive technology combined with a new electronics architecture.

Two battery packs for a range of up to 500 kilometers

The lithium iron phosphate batteries (LFP) of the eIntouro M are characterized by their long service life and the ability to use over 95 percent of the installed capacity. The exhibition vehicle 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^[3] can be achieved without recharging, depending on driving style, topography and weather conditions.

New electronics architecture enables “over-the-air” software updates

For the first time in a bus, software updates for the new Mercedes‑Benz eIntouro can be transferred to the vehicle via a mobile network and installed without a workshop visit. This ensures that the vehicle is always up to date. At the same time, this function increases vehicle availability. Updates are controlled via the Omniplus On digital services portal. Software updates are installed when the vehicle is stationary, the parking brake is applied and drive‑ready state is switched off. Retrofitting additional functions and updating parameters is also possible over‑the‑air.

Safety at the highest level

The exhibited eIntouro M is equipped with the latest assistance and safety 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 conventional outside mirrors and the 360° camera system for a perfect all-round view. The automatic body lowering at 78 km/h reduces the frontal area and thus contributes to the eIntouro M’s profitability.

Good for excursions and short trips

The passenger compartment of the eIntouro M immediately conveys coach character with the Travel Star Eco seating with dark red seat covers, the wood‑look floor covering, and curtains in subtle gray. To match this, the exhibition vehicle has a toilet in front of the center entrance. The fabric‑covered luggage shelves with closed floor, reading lights, and air vents above each double seat also offer travel comfort. 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.
