Arriving safely. Fortunately, buses are only comparatively rarely involved in accidents – the bus is the safest means of road transport. To ensure that this remains so, the emergency braking feature Active Brake Assist (ABA) celebrated its premiere in the premium touring coach Mercedes-Benz Travego at the 2008 IAA. This driver assistance system is currently offered in no other bus in the world.

Active Safety Features: Acceleration Skid Control (ASR), Active Brake Assist (ABA), Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS), Autonomous Intelligent Cruise Control (ART), Backup camera, Brake Assist (BA), CAN bus network, Continuous Braking Limiter (DBL), Cornering light function, Electronically Controlled Brake System (EBS), Electronic Stability Program (ESP®), Lane Assistant (SPA), Rain/light sensor, Wide-angle integral mirror with integrated backup aid

Passive Safety Features: ECE-R 66 certification, Energy-absorbing backrests, Front Collision Guard, Integrated 2-point seat belts for passengers, LED lamps as marker lights

As before, the Lane Assistant (SPA) warns the driver in good time if the bus threatens to veer off the road, and Autonomous Intelligent Cruise Control (ART) maintains a safe distance to the vehicle in front. Further safety elements such as ESP®, the Continuous Braking Limiter (DBL), and the Electronically Controlled Brake System (EBS) also help prevent accidents. We have thus come much closer to realizing our Vision of Accident-Free Driving.
