Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

On 11 and 12 November, Mannheim becomes the centre of the #bus universe: #mercedesbenz is expecting #bus operators and managers from around two dozen countries to attend the BUSiness Days. This #event is being held at the #bus delivery centre at the factory and the nearby ONC centre for new buses and coaches. The new products and features revolve around the highly efficient Citaro hybrid city #bus, the economical, comfortable and safe Tourismo high-deck touring coach and the manoeuvrable Sprinter City 45 minibus. Leading the way to the after-sales services of the future is web platform Omniplus On – including revolutionary Omniplus Uptime. Connectivity opens up virtually unlimited possibilities.

Model initiative featuring the Citaro hybrid, Tourismo and Sprinter City 45

Under the slogan "Experience today – discover tomorrow" the #mercedesbenz BUSiness Days provide a total experience of the #bus universe. Visitors can examine the buses on display at their leisure away from the hustle and bustle of a trade show. Test drives are also available in the latest #bus models – including the new Citaro hybrid and the Tourismo high-deck touring coach.

In the form of the Sprinter City 45, Citaro hybrid and two cornerstone models of the Tourismo high-deck touring coach, the programme of exhibits also focuses on new products and features which are making their début in Germany. Furthermore, the spectacular Future Bus provides a glimpse of the urban mobility of tomorrow. The exciting appeal of today's world of buses is exemplified by the German national football team's high-deck touring coach, which features the highest specification imaginable. Offering more horsepower but fewer seats, the thrilling AMG GT R will get the pulses racing of the car fans among the visitors.

A model of the front collision guard represents maximum safety in touring coaches, while the OM 936 and OM 470 engines on display showcase the height of efficiency and environmental protection. Additional special exhibits are used to explain how the Citaro hybrid works. Turning attention to the interior, the in-house design consultancy will be presenting the individual equipment options for #mercedesbenz buses and coaches.

Omniplus On – digital services from Daimler Buses

A #bus is only as good as the service behind it. In addition to the vehicles, the service brands are providing information about their offerings. Omniplus is the proven service brand for #mercedesbenz buses and coaches with its support outlets and services. Omniplus On is a new brand that brings together all digital service activities. These services will gradually become available from the new customer portal from 01 January 2018 onwards. The stand-out innovative service is Omniplus Uptime. This predictive servicing solution goes live from October 2018 and connects vehicle diagnostics with technical expertise. Omniplus Uptime continuously monitors the status of vehicle systems in real time. Operators are notified automatically if maintenance work or repairs are required. If serious problems arise the Omniplus 24h Service makes recommendations. This helps to prevent downtime, speeds up repairs and minimises time spent in the workshop.

If a used vehicle is wanted rather than a new #bus or coach, then BusStore is the right partner to contact. This brand for pre-owned buses has a unique pool of vehicles with several hundred used buses and coaches to choose from. Whether a new or used vehicle is on the agenda, #mercedesbenz Financial Services provides access to suitable financing options, tailored to the specific attributes of the #bus and coach sector. 

A diverse array of supplementary events

With so much information on offer, it's important to take time to relax. The entertainment ranges from mime artists and a driving simulator to iPad caricaturists and a booth for obtaining a souvenir photo. There is also a children's programme for younger visitors. Information makes people hungry and so food trucks will be on hand during the #mercedesbenz BUSiness Days. Obviously these trucks will bear the three-pointed star, too!
