Mercedes Benz Features

Comfort for the driver and passengers.

High Ride Comfort

State-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz air suspension enables the SHD 2441 to cruise through rough Indian roads without even letting the passengers know a bit about it. The banana beam structure along with positioning of air bellows nearer to the side walls enable it to absorb and dampen rough road effects. Inherited from Brazil, this suspension unit has been tested rigorously on Indian ground conditions and modified accordingly before being fitted in the vehicle.

Economic efficiency.

Comfortable ride with all new automatic transmission

Along with electronically-controlled gear shifting mechanism, the 6-speed automatic transmission with overdrive ensures smooth and hassle-free rides to passengers. The technology used is optimized to high service-life, low maintenance and fuel-savings.

World class engine to save your pocket

The heart of the drive train is the in-line six cylinder OM457 engine with 12 litre displacement and power rating efficiently tuned at 408 HP (300 KW). The engine with SCR diesel technology is environment friendly and economical. ZF Ecolife AT clubbed with OM457 Engine not only ensures best in class fuel efficiency but also low NVH thereby adding to passenger comfort. Longer Maintenance cycles ensure minimum visits to the workshop.

Benchmark of safety.

Maximum Stability with ESP

The Mercedes-Benz coach is equipped with revolutionary safety measures with an Electronic Braking System (EBS) including disc brakes with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Anti-Slip Regulation (ASR). The Electronic Stability Control detects and reduces loss of traction. All these lead to a more confident control and emphasized vehicle stability for quicker cornering and easier avoidance maneuvers.
