Maximum economic efficiency, uncompromising safety and a great deal of comfort – those are the key characteristics of the all-new Mercedes-Benz Tourismo RHD, says the manufacturer.
To prove its credentials, this week sees it invite routeone to Split, Croatia, for a 300km road trip.
The route, over two days, uses demanding topography, uphill and downhill, with tight spots, manoeuvring, and on the motorway. The route is specifically designed to demonstrate “that the coach delivers on its developers’ promises on every metre,” says Mercedes-Benz.
The range of applications for the high-decker is impressive, says Mercedes-Benz: Long-distance routes, holiday destinations or day trips, and it is offering four models in three lengths from 12.3 m to 14.0 m as left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive vehicles, to “meet virtually all requirements.”
On the Dalmatian Mediterranean coast around the major city of Split in Croatia, the new Tourismo was expected to show its mettle on different route profiles.
To demonstrate its abilities, the largest version, the Tourismo L at 14m was provided for the test drive.
