The new Mercedes-Benz Travego Safety Coach

Safety is the most important of the Mercedes-Benz brand values. And, as such, safety lies at the heart of the new-generation Mercedes-Benz Travego high-deck touring coach, which marks the world premiere of the Active Brake Assist (ABA) system in the bus and coach sector. Further new equipment for the Travego includes the patented Front Collision Guard (FCG) passive safety system, which provides effective protection for the driver and co-driver in the event of a frontal impact. Plus there are other new safety features such as the cornering light function, a rain/light sensor, long-life LED corner marker lights above the wind­screen and a trailing axle with independent wheel suspension for the three-axle models. Awaiting the driver is a new-look, user-friendly cockpit. As an option, the OM 457 LA six-cylinder in-line engine can be ordered with a new, higher output rating of 335 kW (456 hp). Further special equipment available for the latest incar­nation of the Travego includes the new Mercedes GO 240-8 PowerShift eight-speed automated transmission. All of which makes this particular Mercedes-Benz one of the most attractive high-deck touring coaches ever seen.
