  • Numerous innovative safety systems
  • Stylish passenger compartment with new infotainment
  • Comfortable and gentle drive with automatic torque converter

Safe, comfortable, highly economical, and innovative – the Mercedes‑Benz Tourismo is the benchmark in its class as a high‑deck touring coach. This is underlined by the attractive safety coach as an exhibition vehicle at the Daimler Buses stand at Busworld Europe 2025. Another identical model of the Tourismo safety coach can be viewed in the outdoor area in front of the exhibition hall.

Numerous innovative safety systems

The mere list of safety and assistance systems installed in the exhibition vehicle makes it clear that the safety coach lives up to its name: For example, the Tourismo at Busworld Europe 2025 is already equipped with the new, even more powerful Active Brake Assist 6 Plus (ABA 6 Plus) emergency braking system and the new Attention Assist 2 (AtAs 2) with camera recognition. Sideguard Assist 2, Frontguard Assist, and Traffic Sign Assist, which warns the driver of excessive speed, are also on board. There are also Lane Assist (SPA), tire pressure monitoring system (TPM), adaptive cruise control (ART) with additional stop‑and‑go function, continuous brake limiter (DBL), electronic stability program (ESP), rain and light sensor, and 360° camera system.

The standard lowering of the body at expressway speeds further improves the already excellent aerodynamics and thus further reduces fuel consumption. 

Stylish passenger compartment with new infotainment

The Tourismo exhibition vehicle welcomes its passengers with a tastefully designed vehicle interior. The discreetly elegant interior equipment in gray forms a harmonious contrast to the striking exterior paintwork in Yellowstone yellow. Floor coverings with wood trim convey coziness, while the gray fabric covers of the seat and backrest surfaces with anthracite‑colored side bolsters and deep black head sections together with yellow piping and curtains provide dynamism.

Passengers also benefit from new entertainment electronics: The Coach Infotainment Series infotainment system with 21.5‑inch screens and a brilliant image in full HD quality. Numerous USB ports supply power for mobile devices.

Powerful and comfortable drive 

Tried-and-tested components are used to power the Tourismo exhibition vehicle. The OM 470 in‑line six‑cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 10.7 liters and an output of 335 kW (456 hp) as well as the GO 250–8 fully automated 8‑speed manual transmission (PowerShift) ensure powerful yet comfortable propulsion at all times.
