Mercedes-Benz Tourino

In line with its philosophy of meeting the entire range of customer require­ments in its capacity as a full-line supplier, the Mercedes-Benz Bus and Coach Unit of EvoBus GmbH is presenting its new Tourino midi-coach to the wider public for the first time at the “Bus­world 2003” show in Kortrijk, alongside the rest of its extensive and proven product portfolio. The Mer­cedes-Benz Tourino is an all-new, fully equipped two-door midi-coach des­tined for the Western European market which measures 9.35 m in length and which can carry up to 38 passengers (plus driver and cou­rier). The Tou­rino represents the first foray by Mercedes-Benz into the midi-coach class for smaller travel groups and rounds off the bottom end of its touring coach portfolio. The new midi-bus, which has been purpose-built to cater for the requirements of this market segment, is perfectly positioned to meet the growing de­mand for highly manoeuvrable coaches to transport smaller tour parties with maximised seat occupancy. As well as its compact dimensions, the new model boasts cutting-edge technology, a gross vehicle weight of 12.6 t and an extensive range of luxury features fitted as stan­dard.

One totally new departure in the midi-coach segment is the design of the powertrain, featuring a rear engine and a newly de­veloped front axle with independent wheel suspension (ERA). The vehicle’s attractive design exudes contempo­rary elegance and makes no secret of its heritage as part of the current Mercedes-Benz bus and coach family. An extensive range of equipment and a comfortable interior join forces with the proven engineer­ing quality and impressive value retention you expect from a Mer­ce­des-Benz vehicle to produce an impressive cost/performance ratio to fully satisfy the requirements of to­day’s customers.
