A Glance at Mercedes-Benz Buses at IAA
Urban buses, rural-service buses, touring coaches, mini- buses – Mercedes-Benz is not just represented in ev- ery segment of the bus market but it also led across the board. This dominant position was made apparent by, among other things, the implementation of the Euro VI stan- dard, where it set the pace with clean and verifiably more fuel- efficient buses.
Among the display at the Mercedes-Benz bus stand were the Mercedes-Benz itaro, boasting a new engine version in articu- lated buses; the Intouro, a specialist inter-city bus; the Tour- ismo with new safety levels and the Travego with new Active Brake Assist 3, as well as the Setra with four world premieres.
Citaro G articulated bus is now optionally available with the compact, horizontally installed OM 936 h six-cylinder in-line en- gine. The powerplant produces 260kW (354hp) from its 7.7-litre displacement while reaching a maximum torque of 1400Nm. A Power Boost System (PBS) accelerates torque build-up at lower engine speeds by briefly injecting compressed air into the intake tract, giving it pull-away characteristics on par with those of larger-sized engine. The capacity of the Citaro G is increased by up to 8 passengers with low engine weight and small installation space.
With current annual sales of more than 1000 units, the Intouro is a European best-seller in the inter-city bus sector. For the 2014 model year, the Intouro is made even more attractive with new and additional length variants. The same applies to the Euro VI-compliant powertrain, with further individualisation options. In this price-sensitive segment of the market, where value for money, high passenger capacity and continuous availability are key factors, the Intouro is said to score well as a reliable ‘workhorse’. The Intouro model range is made up of two-axle vehicles from 12.14m to 13.32m.
The additional engine variant has made Tourismo even more attractive. Previously available only for the three-axle models, the top-of-the-line OM 470 six-cylinder in-line engine is now also on offer for the two-axle high-decker. With a power output of 315kW (428hp), it delivers 2100Nm of torque.
The premium high-decker Travego is now equipped with the latest Active Brake Assist 3 feature. It also has the GPS based Predictive Powertrain Control (PPC) driver assistance system. According to the company, this is the first anticipatory cruise control in the world for touring coaches to intervene in the transmission control to select the appropriate gear as well as controlling the speed, which can further reduce the already low fuel consumption.
A visit to the Setra stand at the IAA show was essential for those interested in new bus products: the bus and coach brand presented four world premieres. The bus brand's presentation in Hall 14/15 was the up-to-date, individual and broad-based range of Setra buses and coaches.

马赛地巴士一瞥
马赛地不仅在巴士市场的各个领域--城市巴士、公 共巴士、游览车及迷你巴士中都拥有具有代表性 的产品，而且都能在这些领域中遥遥领先。除了 其他的因素，欧6标准的落实造就了马赛地的优势，使它以 干净和经过验证更具燃油效益的巴士领先。
在马赛地的展位上，可看到马赛地 Citaro G，搭配全新 引擎的铰接式巴士、Intouro城际巴士、拥有新安全标准的 Tourismo、配备新主动制动系统辅助3的Travego及Setra的 四项世界首发。
Citaro G铰接式巴士如今可选配精巧，水平安装的OM936h 六 缸直列引擎。 引擎功率可达260kw (354马力)，7.7升排 量，最大扭矩1400Nm。 它的功率提升系统(PBS)可在低引 擎转速时，简要地将压缩气注入进气道，加速提高扭矩，使 它拥有犹如较大型引擎般的拉扯力。Citaro G 较轻的引擎 和较小的安装空间，使它得以增加多达8名乘客的载客量。
以目前超过1，000辆的年销量，Intouro 是欧洲城际巴士领 域中最畅销的车款。2014年版的Intouro更有魅力，推出了 新和加长版的车款。同样配备欧6标准动力传动系统，再加 上个性化的选择。在这个价格分外敏感的市场，物有所值、 高容量及持续的可取得性都是主要的因素。Intouro在可靠 的“重负荷车辆”方面取得相当高的分数，双轴，长度可从 12.14米到13.32米自由选择。
Tourismo搭载新的引擎版本，使它更添吸引力。之前只推 出3轴，如今其双轴高顶巴士车款也可搭配极品OM470六缸 直列引擎。引擎功率可达315kw(428马力)，最大扭矩 21000Nm。
优质高顶Travego巴士装配上最先进的主动制动辅助3。它还 配备基于GPS的动力总成控制驾驶员辅助系统。据该公司表 示，这是全球第一个预期巡航控制，让游览车能够干预传输 控制，选择合适的档位和控制速度，进一步降低油耗。
对巴士新产品有浓厚兴趣的业者，参观汉诺威国际商用车展 中的Setra展位绝对不虚此行。Setra品牌的巴士和长途巴士 共有4项首发。Setra巴士和长途巴士在14/15展厅，展示最 新、个人化及系列广泛的Setra巴士和长途巴士。
