Parveen Travels (P) Ltd. has become the first owner of the Mercedes-Benz multi-axle buses in India.
Mr. Md. A. Afzal, Managing Director, Parveen Travels, who received the keys for the first multi-axle buses from Dr. Wilfried Aulbur, Managing Director and CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, in Chennai, said: “We at Parveen Travels constantly endeavour to provide our customers the best in terms of luxury, comfort, safety and technology. Thus, Mercedes-Benz buses emerged as an obvious choice for us. Now our passengers can truly ‘Travel with the Star’ and experience unmatched comfort and luxury in their long distance travel”.
Dr. Aulbur, Managing Director and CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, observed: “Our buses incorporate hallmarks of the Mercedes brand: highest standards of safety, comfort and technology. They offer unparallaled value offering to our customers due to their optimized cost of ownership, toughness and durability as well as reliability. Parveen Travels has a distinguished record and a long history of mass transit and was among the early customers to appreciate this competitive differentiator: we are confident that our buses will further help them enhance their customer delight even further”.
The multi-axle luxury buses offered to Parveen Travels are built on the robust Mercedes chassis O 500 RSD 2436. These buses that suit the needs of Parveen Travels sport suave exteriors, plush and airy interiors, well-designed passenger seats and thoughtful amenities like personalised speakers, lights and AC controls.
Powered by the Euro III engine, the buses are capable of delivering high performance, powerful torque output and a good fuel economy. Their rear engines with 6 vertical cylinders, turbo-charged and inter-cooled engine deliver 1200 Nm torque at a low rpm of 1400-1600. The smart suspension system of these buses is equipped a lifting mechanism that allows the chauffer to increase the height of the bus when the road conditions are demanding.
The bus comes with anti-lock braking system (ABS) that accentuates safety of the vehicle as a whole. The ABS impedes the locking of all the wheels when braking the vehicle and it is independent of road conditions. In addition, all materials used for the bus body are certified as fire retardant.
The other features of the vehicle model include two LCD screens provided to make viewing more comfortable for the passengers. The buses also boast a sufficiently large luggage compartment between the front and rear axles.
