Mercedes-Benz Buses is completing its range of chassis in Euro VI with the three-axle OC 500 RF chassis for inter-city buses and touring coaches. For special applications, to comply with country-specific regulations and to cater for individual interior design requirements, custom-made bodies locally mounted on bus chassis are required in many European countries and on the world market. This was stated in a media release from Daimler.
As early as October 2012, using the two-axle variant as an example, Mercedes-Benz presented the new generation of bus chassis meeting the Euro VI standard at the FIAA show in Madrid. The OC 500 LE chassis for regular service buses and the OC 500 RF chassis for inter-city buses and touring coaches are produced in Spain: Mercedes-Benz is the only manufacturer of bus chassis in Spain.
The mainstay of the new chassis generation is the newly developed powertrain for the Euro VI emission standard. Its centrepiece is a completely new generation of engines bearing the name BlueEfficiency Power. These engines meet the Euro VI emissions standard across the entire power range.
All the engines use the high-pressure injection system based on the common-rail principle for mixture formation. The complex exhaust gas after-treatment system employs exhaust gas recirculation, an oxidising catalytic converter, a particulate filter and SCR technology with AdBlue injection.
