Mercedes Travego Edition 1
Travego Edition 1: the first touring coach to meet the Euro 6 emission standard


"The love for invention never ceases." This motto of Carl Benz, inventor of the automobile and the bus, adorns the side of the Mercedes‑Benz Travego Edition 1, which marks the beginning of a new touring coach era. In this case love for invention means: the Travego Edition 1 is the first coach to meet the future Euro 6 emission standard, which becomes binding at the beginning of 2014. The Travego Edition 1 has an engine from the new BlueEfficiency Power engine generation, a new transmission with new gearshift, a further upgraded, ideally ergonomic cockpit, and new safety features. With the Mercedes-Benz flagship, already today future-minded customers can take on a role as trailblazer in environmental friendliness.

High-torque Mercedes-Benz engine from the new BlueEfficiency Power engine generation

The engine of the Travego Edition 1 is a vertically installed in-line six-cylinder from the new OM 471 series. From a displacement of 12.8 l it develops 350 kW (476 hp) at 1800 rpm. The high maximum torque runs up to 2300 Nm at 1100 rpm. This data and the characteristics of the new power plant guarantee outstanding performance. The engine features the unique common-rail injection system X-Pulse with pressure booster. It results in extremely precise fuel injection with cylinder-selective control, high injection pressures of as much as 2100 bar and freely modulated injection – prerequisites for low fuel consumption, low exhaust emissions and smooth engine operation. In the Travego Edition 1 the engine of tomorrow already is available today.

Additional advantages result from the efficacious three-stage exhaust brake and the asymmetric turbocharger. Despite exhaust gas recirculation it ensures rapid response to accelerator movements for the benefit of agile driving performance. The torque characteristics of the new engine permit unusually low, fuel-saving engine speeds. And so along with spontaneous acceleration the engine surprises with tremendous pulling power: the engine almost attains its full torque of 2300 Nm already at 1000 rpm. At barely 900 rpm the engine produces 2000 Nm of torque.
