Mercedes-Benz Tourismo with equipment for disabled passengers now available ex factory
  • First touring coach with equipment for disabled passengers to be made available ex factory
  • BEX banks on maximum flexibility and economy


Bayern Express & P. Kühn Berlin GmbH – BEX for short – has added a Mercedes-Benz Tourismo with equipment for disabled passengers to its fleet. A particular highlight of this touring coach is the fact that the full complement of equipment for disabled passengers is available straight from the factory.

The Mercedes-Benz Tourismo L features 57 + 2 passenger seats plus space for four wheelchairs on board. Wheelchairs are lifted into the coach by an electric lift situated aft of the front axle. Once they are inside the passenger compartment, the wheelchairs are then secured on airline-style rails by means of quick-clamping devices. In order to fully optimise vehicle safety, the changes to the frame, which were necessary in the wheelchair lift area, were taken into account in the design. As a result of this, the safety concerns that can arise when existing bus or coach frames are modified ceased to become a factor at all.

The Tourismo with equipment for disabled passengers goes through the normal, standard production process at Mercedes-Benz, the modified design making this possible right from the start of production. As well as ensuring maximum stability and safety, this process means that buses and coaches with equipment for disabled passengers can be produced far more cost-effectively than previously.
