Daimler Buses is now temporarily offering the Digital Services Package as a free option for all newly delivered buses. The offer applies to all new Mercedes-Benz and Setra diesel vehicles. Customers receive free access to the digital services included in the package for three years. For newly delivered battery-electric eCitaro, eCitaro fuel cell and, in the near future, eIntouro vehicles, customers can use the digital services free of charge for six years.
After the end of the term, customers will have the option to continue using the services at a reduced package price. Use of the Digital Services Package is voluntary and independent of vehicle operation. To be able to use the digital services, the services must first be activated in the Omniplus On portal in the Omniplus On commerce area. Customers are automatically informed of this after delivery of the vehicles. From telematics for scheduling and passenger information to monitoring data for predictive maintenance, from fault warnings to data on the condition of the high-voltage battery: connectivity and digital services are now, according to Daimler Buses,
indispensable in buses. They help to improve vehicle availability, reduce downtimes, lower the total costs of ownership (TCO) and thus increase the overall economy of the bus. The Digital Services Package for diesel vehicles contains digital services that provide customers with transparency regarding the vehicle status and current vehicle operating data. The Digital Services Package for electric buses also includes Battery Monitoring, which provides transparency about the battery status and recommendations for action to extend the battery service life and comply with the warranty conditions for the high-voltage batteries.
