Daimler buses for Winter Event 2026 in Italy.
The new fleet consists of five Setra S 531 DT, four Mercedes-Benz Citaro K Hybrid city buses and five Mercedes-Benz Tourismo touring coaches. All vehicles are equipped with advanced safety and onboard technologies, including driver assistance systems, video surveillance, fire extinguishers, passenger counting sensors, ticket validators and USB charging ports.
“Our continuous investment in renewing our fleet is even more significant in the year when the world’s attention is focused on our mountains,” says Dolomiti Bus CEO Stefano Rossi, “With our fleet, we will primarily transport spectators, but also employees and volunteers throughout the entire event.”
"The partnership between Dolomiti Bus and Daimler Buses is approaching its thirty-year anniversary. On this long joint journey, we are proud that our vehicles - as a strategic element that Dolomiti Bus has continuously used - have contributed to writing a success story of efficiency and high satisfaction among passengers and drivers. In this special and important moment, Dolomiti Bus once again showed confidence in the challenge of the winter event and acquired new vehicles from the Setra and Mercedes-Benz brands. Another step together - a privilege and a reason to be proud," says Michele Maldini, Sales Director Daimler Buses Italia.
Dolomiti Bus is one of the leading providers of sustainable mobility in Venice. Since 2017, the enterprise has supported the UNESCO Foundation Dolomites by promoting and offering locally CO₂-free and integrated mobility in the Dolomite valleys.
