Mercedes-Benz REFORM 501 LE
Suburban-local model

“Commercial Vehicle of the Year 2019”
Exactly one year after the presentation of the very first model of the Mercedes-Benz REFORM bus family, we presented our second vehicle, the REFORM 501 LE suburban-intercity bus (M3/II vehicle class).
The new model is a vehicle built on a self-propelled Mercedes-Benz OC 500LE 1830 chassis, equipped with a modern diesel engine and a 6+1 speed automatic transmission. The length of the two-door model with low floor entry and extended wheelbase is 12,490 mm, and it has a seating capacity of 85 people (45 seats and 40 standing). In the technical design of the chassis, we can see the usual vehicle safety and stability control systems on Mercedes-Benz buses, as well as the remote on-board diagnostic and control devices developed by us, which provide operating and operational data and enable remote control of the vehicles. Suitable for longer journeys, the seating arrangement is 2+2 rows throughout, and the thinned seatbacks have a positive effect on legroom.
The clean, peaceful design of the Mercedes-Benz REFORM 501 LE, the sophisticated design of the passenger compartment, and the high technical solutions all contributed to Inter Traction Electrics Kft. winning one of the most significant awards in the domestic commercial vehicle market in 2019. Camion Truck & Bus magazine declared the Mercedes-Benz Reform 501 LE model the winner in the “Commercial Vehicle of the Year” competition in the city/suburban bus category based on reader votes.
