Mercedes-Benz REFORM 600 IC

On September 28, 2021, we presented the newest regular-floor long-distance bus of the Mercedes-Benz REFORM bus family. The self-developed, designed and manufactured bus with high nationl added value fills a gap in the Hungarian bus production market.

The 13,160 mm long, 2,550 mm wide and 3,456 mm high vehicle was equipped with a 260 kW, 1,400 Nm torque Euro VI engine. The technical design of the chassis includes the usual vehicle safety and stability control systems on Mercedes-Benz buses (e.g. lane departure warning system, emergency brake assistant, tire pressure monitor), as well as remote on-board diagnostic and control devices developed by the ITK Group, which provide operation and operational data to enable remote control of vehicles, as well as real-time map information about the position of the bus. The first model is equipped with 55 seats, which can be expanded to a maximum of 59 passenger seats.

The external design closely follows the familiar design elements of the REFORM family, with numerous optimizations designed for long-distance use, such as the single-wing, outward-opening swing door or the centrally-lockable, ergonomically more practical luggage compartment that opens parallel to the side of the bus.

The carefully designed passenger compartment, in contrast to previous members of the REFORM family, is made in a beige color scheme, creating a homely feeling. The use of quality materials is emphasized on the seats and interior surfaces of the passenger compartment: the unique parquet effect floor covering combined with the entirely LED indirect passenger compartment and hidden ambient and night lighting results in a completely unique solution.

The high level of comfort is further enhanced by the increased legroom, numerous USB sockets that can be used to charge phones, smart touch reading LED lighting, tilting backrests, a wireless landing indicator button, and a Bustec TFT monitor that provides continuous information during the journey.
