Daimler Buses Unveils Electric Intercity Bus and Next-Gen Battery Tech at Busworld Europe 2025
Daimler Buses GmbH is showcasing the future of sustainable mobility at Busworld Europe 2025, being held from October 4 to 9 in Brussels. The company is marking a major milestone in its electrification strategy with the world premiere of the series-production Mercedes-Benz eIntouro, alongside the debut of its fourth-generation NMC4 battery technology for the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro.
The exhibits highlight Daimler Buses’ commitment to innovation across three key pillars — e-mobility, safety, and sustainability — reflecting the company’s long-term vision for zero-emission and intelligent public transport.
World Premiere: Mercedes-Benz eIntouro
The spotlight at Daimler Buses’ pavilion is the Mercedes-Benz eIntouro, the world’s first fully electric intercity bus ready for series production. Designed for both urban and regional routes, the eIntouro marks a strategic expansion of the brand’s electric lineup beyond city limits.
Powered by advanced NMC battery cells and featuring energy-efficient drive systems, the eIntouro delivers strong range performance while maintaining comfort and practicality. The bus supports fast charging and has been engineered to provide optimal passenger capacity and luggage space, ensuring no compromises for operators transitioning from diesel fleets.
According to Daimler Buses, the eIntouro represents the next evolutionary step in public transport electrification — combining the proven reliability of the Intouro platform with the benefits of zero-emission technology.
Next-Generation Battery: NMC4 for eCitaro
Daimler Buses is also debuting its NMC4 battery generation in the Mercedes-Benz eCitaro, further extending the range and operational flexibility of one of Europe’s most successful electric city buses.
The new NMC4 (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) battery technology offers a higher energy density, improved temperature management, and faster charging capability. These upgrades significantly reduce downtime while enabling longer route operations — a major advantage for urban transit authorities seeking efficient fleet electrification.
With the introduction of the NMC4 battery, the eCitaro now boasts greater reliability and a longer service life, underlining Daimler’s commitment to sustainability through innovation and energy efficiency.
Focus on Safety and Sustainability
In addition to electrification, Daimler Buses is emphasizing safety as a central theme at Busworld 2025. The company is showcasing the latest generation of driver assistance systems, including enhanced braking, collision prevention, and lane monitoring technologies. These innovations aim to create safer roads for passengers, drivers, and pedestrians alike.
The brand is also unveiling new materials and design concepts that reduce vehicle weight, improve recyclability, and lower carbon footprints across the manufacturing process. By combining electric performance with responsible production, Daimler Buses continues to strengthen its position as a leader in sustainable transport innovation.
Shaping the Future of Public Mobility
As part of the Daimler Truck Group, Daimler Buses is accelerating its path toward fully electric transport solutions across all segments — city, intercity, and long-distance travel. The unveiling of the eIntouro and the NMC4 battery system signals a decisive step toward achieving the company’s target of full carbon neutrality in the coming decade.
With its powerful showcase at Busworld Europe 2025, Daimler Buses reinforces its vision of a cleaner, safer, and smarter future for passenger mobility — one powered by electric innovation and sustainable engineering.
