Leinfelden‑Echterdingen/Brussels – July 2025

  • Mercedes‑Benz: World premiere of the eIntouro, new NMC4 battery generation for the eCitaro
  • Setra: Current range with MultiClass, ComfortClass and TopClass
  • Further growth with e‑services
  • OMNIplus Charge: Charging infrastructure services under a new brand
  • OMNIplus: Over-the-air updates, speed-related geofencing and other digital Services

A cross-section from the current 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 coach represents the ComfortClass, while the exclusively equipped S 516 HDH super‑high‑decker is appearing for the TopClass in Brussels. The S 531 DT double‑decker bus from the TopClass stands for high passenger capacity and a wide range of applications.

Daimler Buses Solutions GmbH now offers its services under the OMNIplus Charge brand. The company advises transport companies and actively supports them on their journey to electromobility. The company specialises in consulting, designing and building electromobility and H2 infrastructure.

In cooperation with experts from Daimler Buses Solutions GmbH and other partners, Daimler Buses can supply the entire eMobility ecosystem from a single source on request: from the feasibility analysis to individually configured electric buses and the complete electromobility infrastructure – including construction measures, electrical installations, charging infrastructure, battery storage, charging management systems and other digital services.

OMNIplus does not just have the largest bus‑specific service network in Europe; its European network of specialist e‑bus service centres is also growing all the time, too. In terms of digital services, OMNIplus is expanding its range with additional services that are not just for electric buses. For example, all newly delivered buses from Daimler Buses commencing this year will receive a so-called Digital Services Package as an option with three years of free use for diesel buses and six years for electric buses.

A new service from OMNIplus, which will be available for the first time in the new eIntouro, is system and software updates “over‑the‑air”, i.e. without a workshop visit with software transfer via the mobile network and installation at a scheduled time.

Another new service is OMNIplus ON monitor tracking services plus for speed‑related geofencing. This allows you to set up zones with restricted maximum speed. When a fleet bus enters such a zone, the vehicle’s speed limiter is automatically activated so that the set maximum speed can no longer be exceeded.

OMNIplus ON Battery Monitoring has been specially designed for electric buses, providing fleet operators with information on the condition of the high‑voltage battery and recommendations on optimum use. The free Warranty Status service offers insights into the warranty status of the battery and helps to prevent possible warranty violations.
