The new Intouro – MA-MB 2036: Vehicle Fact Sheet: Mercedes-Benz Intouro

21.06.2021
  • All-rounder for inter-city and excursion transport
  • Striking and dignified appearance with the design package
  • Versatile equipment for everyday use
  • Attractive cockpit, versatile drive, unsurpassed safety

The test vehicle is proof of the amazing versatility of the new Mercedes-Benz Intouro. Generally designed for inter-city service from its destination displays to the passenger compartment grab rails, the refrigerator and comfortable seating emphasise the additional use in excursion service. Thus, the Intouro turns out to be a real double earner all round.

Striking and dignified appearance with the design package

With equipment like metallic paintwork and body-coloured add-on parts, or a Premium version featuring the Design Package, as well as numerous appointments in silver and even integral mirrors – this Intouro makes it clear at first glance that it is a dignified bus for everyday use.

Versatile equipment for everyday use

Destination system, adapter and preparation for payment systems, grab bars, passenger signalling system, bus stop warning lights, a double-width door two - this Intouro is ideal for use on inter-city service. The full-length seating including swivel seats in the area of the second door and large luggage compartments also qualify it as a bus for shuttle or works transport.

The friendly interior with curtains, high-quality inter-city seating and passenger control panels with reading lamps and jet ventilation, as well as equipment with a refrigerator and tour guide microphone, also ensure it a career as a bus for excursions. Passengers benefit from the high-quality climate control and the Coach MediaRouter as internet access in all operations.

Attractive cockpit, versatile drive, unsurpassed safety

The cockpit of the new Intouro is driver-oriented and ergonomically perfect. In terms of appearance and equipment, from the multifunction steering wheel to the electronic parking brake, it achieves coach standard without restriction.

The drive is designed for versatility just like the whole bus. The compact in-line six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz OM 936 operates economically and with low emissions. The fully automated eight-speed PowerShift transmission is both efficient and comfortable.

Last but not least, the test vehicle opens a new chapter with its extensive and innovative safety equipment. The unique Active Brake Assist 5 (ABA5) emergency braking assistance can, within the system's limits, automatically initiate a full application of the brakes to bring the vehicle to a standstill in response to stationary or moving obstacles and as the world's first emergency braking system for buses, it even reacts to moving pedestrians. The highly impressive safety package also includes the optional Sideguard Assist radar-based turning assistance system with pedestrian detection. It supports the driver primarily when making turns in built-up areas and gives effective protection to more vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.

Comprehensive protection against infection

To ensure the greatest possible protection against infections, the test vehicle is equipped with active filters for the roof-mounted air-conditioning system and the air conditioner housing, with contactless disinfectant dispensers in both entrances, and with a high partition behind the driver's workplace and a driver's protective door.

The new Intouro – MA-MB 2035

Vehicle Fact Sheet: Mercedes-Benz Intouro M

  • Highly economical and functional in regular service, shuttle and works transport
  • In the Intouro M, comfort is a top priority including on inter-city service
  • Cockpit to the standard of touring coaches, unsurpassed safety

Good all the way around: the test vehicle shows how a modern high-floor inter-city bus is equipped and what it must be able to do. This Intouro M is uncompromisingly designed for inter-city service, as a shuttle for journeys with luggage and for works transport - combined with outstanding economy and safety as well as a high level of comfort.

Highly economical and functional in regular service, shuttle and works transport

Two axles, around 13 metres in length, 59 passenger seats - even the basic data of the test vehicle suggest maximum economy. Added to this is the combination of the compact in-line six-cylinder Mercedes-Benz OM 936 with a torque converter - this reduces fuel consumption, protects the major assemblies and supports drivers in their work. Components such as inexpensive outside mirrors on tubular frames limit the cost of minor damage in tough everyday use.

The test vehicle is completely equipped for scheduled service. On board are a destination system, an example of a ticket counter, grab bars, passenger signalling system, bus stop warning lights, a double-width door two, directly opposite a special use area with wheelchair space - it could hardly be more functional. The inter-city seating including swivel seats in the area of door two, four folding seats in the area of the special use area as well as an ample luggage compartment are the basis for operations in shuttle and works transport.

In the Intouro M, comfort is a top priority including on inter-city service

The pleasantly designed test vehicle welcomes passengers with a wood-look floor and curtains. Passengers are seated on comfortable inter-city seating with high seat backrests. At the same time it is very robust with a back shell as well as a durable fabric. With high-quality climate control and double glazing as well as Coach MediaRouter for internet access - a pleasant climate and good entertainment are provided.

Cockpit to the standard of touring coaches, unsurpassed safety

The cockpit of the new Intouro is driver-oriented and ergonomically perfect, even in its version as a functional intercity bus. In terms of appearance and equipment, everything from the multifunction steering wheel to the electronic parking brake take it up to touring coach standard.

Maximum economy and maximum safety are not mutually exclusive in a Mercedes-Benz - on the contrary. The test vehicle proves this with its extensive and innovative safety equipment at the highest level. The unique Active Brake Assist 5 emergency braking assistance - ABA 5 for short - can, within its limits, automatically execute a full-stop braking manoeuvre to bring the vehicle to a standstill to avoid a stationary or moving obstacle and, as the world's first emergency braking system for buses, even avoid moving persons. The highly impressive safety package also includes the optional Sideguard Assist radar-based turning assistance system with pedestrian detection. It supports the driver primarily when making turns in built-up areas and gives effective protection to more vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists.
