English   Mercedes-Benz Travego Edition 1: the world's first series production bus which meets the Euro VI

Euro VI components have no effect on passenger and luggage capacity

The additional components for Euro VI naturally presented further challenges with respect to vehicle weight and weight distribution: vehicles fitted with Euro VI compo­nents tend to be "rear-heavy". To achieve an optimal weight distribution, the developers moved the fuel tank in front of the front axle, switching it with the position of the batteries.

At the same time the vehicle weight was reduced further by optimising the standard components (e.g. windows and air conditioning system). This helped to implement a major requirement: buses meeting the Euro VI emission standard must have no restrictions in passenger and luggage capacity compared to the previous Euro V models.

New powertrain subjected to endurance testing

Extensive tests verified the reliability of the new powertrain. Within one year, five long-distance test vehicles together covered more than 1.5 million km. Operating for 20 hours a day and seven days a week, they covered up to 300 000 km within a year. Testing mainly took place in Turkey, under extreme climatic conditions. In the southern regions of Turkey, summer temperatures reach more than 25 degrees Celsius on up to 192 days of the year, with peaks above 45 degrees Celsius. The eastern regions are in stark contrast to this: for half the year it is winter with temperatures below freezing, which can even fall to below minus 40 degrees Celsius.

Buyers of a Travego Edition 1 benefit from numerous advantages: the new-generation BlueEfficiency Power engines are even more durable and robust than their predecessors. 90 percent of these engines are capable of 1.2 million km with no overhaul (preceding series: 1.0 million km). The service intervals of the new engines have also increased to up to 120 000 km (preceding series: up to 90 000 km).

Fuel consumption is low and AdBlue consumption has fallen drastically. With its low exhaust emissions this touring coach is future-proof. The low operating noise means even greater comfort for its passengers.
