The O 500 RS was specifically developed for short-, middle- and long-distance regional services and offers all the driver and passenger comfort advantages expected from a Mercedes-Benz. From electronically controlled air suspension to noise reduction of running gear, both the driver and passengers benefit from the high levels of comfort provided.

The driver's work area in the O 500 RS chassis features the elegant four-spoke steering wheel and an advanced, easy-to-read instrument panel. Adapted to the electronics structure and information requirements of Euro V, it supports the driver with expanded information such as trip data and fuel consumption figures, as well as safety warning lights, including water temperature, oil and air pressure. As such the driver has everything under control at a glance.

Thanks to the electronically controlled air suspension, the vehicle is constantly level in relation to the ground, guaranteeing excellent levels of comfort for passengers and stability. In addition, there is lower transfer of road bumps to the chassis frame, which results in longer vehicle life.
