Mercedes-Benz REFORM 600 IC

On 28 September 2021, we presented the newest coach of the Mercedes-Benz REFORM bus range with standard floor. The bus, developed, designed and manufactured in-house, has a high domestic added value and will fill a niche in the Hungarian bus market.

The vehicle is 13,160 millimetres long, 2,550 millimetres wide and 3,456 millimetres high and is powered by a 260 kW Euro VI engine with 1,400 Nm of torque. The chassis is technically designed to incorporate the vehicle safety and driving stability systems familiar on Mercedes-Benz buses (e.g. lane departure warning, emergency brake assist, tyre pressure monitoring), as well as remote on-board diagnostic and control devices developed by the ITK Group, which provide operating and functional data for remote monitoring of the vehicle and real-time map information on the bus position. The first model is equipped with 55 seats, which can be extended to a maximum of 59 passenger seats.

The exterior design closely follows the design elements already familiar from the REFORM family, with a number of optimizations designed for long-distance use, such as the single swinging door opening outwards or the centrally closing luggage compartment, which opens parallel to the side of the bus for a more ergonomically practical design.

The interior has been carefully designed in a more beige colour scheme than previous REFORM family models, creating a homely feel. The seats and interior surfaces are characterised by the use of high-quality materials: the unique parquet-effect flooring combined with fully LED indirect cabin lighting and concealed ambient and night lighting create a very unique solution.

The high level of comfort is further enhanced by increased legroom, multiple USB sockets for charging phones, touch-screen LED lighting, reclining seatbacks, a wireless landing button and a Bustec TFT monitor that provides continuous information during the journey
