At Busworld Europe 2025 in Brussels (4-9 October 2025) Daimler Buses has pledged to show its innovative strength. First of all there is the new eIntouro which will be presented to the public the very first time, although the trade press had a sneak preview of this new electric intercity bus last year. There will be also the new NMC4 battery generation in the Mercedes‑Benz eCitaro, a host of innovations on the linked topics of electromobility, safety and sustainability as well as new services from the Omniplus service brand. Daimler Buses will be exhibiting a total of eight Mercedes‑Benz and Setra buses at Stand 503 in Hall 5.
The new Mercedes‑Benz eIntouro is based on the familiar diesel-powered Intouro, but has a battery-electric drive with LFP batteries and central motor. The purpose of the new eIntouro can be found in interurban routes, school buses, shuttle buses and
excursion routes, as well as for shorter long-haul trips. Two lengths are available: the 12.18-metre eIntouro and the 13.09-metre eIntouro M. Software updates can be installed in the eIntouro “over the air” without a workshop visit, a new service from Omniplus.
Daimler Buses will be also introducing the fourth and latest battery generation NMC4. It will be used in the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro, eCitaro G, eCitaro K and eCitaro fuel cell from 2026. The new NMC4 battery generation combines a high energy density, which enables longer ranges, with a long service life even by charging with up to 300 kW. Daimler Buses is also introducing a new service for reconditioning batteries to enable the longest possible service life for its electrified vehicles. With Omniplus Charge Daimler Buses advises transport companies and actively supports them on their journey to electromobility with consulting, designing and building electromobility and H2 infrastructure.
Another new service is Omniplus On monitor tracking services plus for speed-related geofencing. Last bur not least is cross-section from the current Setra intercity and touring coach range will be presented by the Setra brand at the Daimler Buses stand at Busworld. The current MultiClass is represented by the Setra S 515 LE low-entry intercity bus, the S 515 HD high-deck touring, the S 516 HDH super-high-decker and the S 531 DT double-decker.
