The Federal Ministry of the Interior, one of whose responsibilities is the Federal Police, has expanded the vehicle fleet of the Federal Police with "heavy personnel carriers" by concluding a contract for 33 Mercedes-Benz Tourismo buses.
Flexibility and practicality were the requirements stipulated by the Federal Police to the Mercedes-Benz product unit of EvoBus GmbH and the ServiceCenter for special-purpose vehicles. The Tourismo is the most suitable and cost-effective platform for realising different vehicle variants or vehicle lengths without modifying the vehicle concept. This is because it was developed on a modular basis, thereby ensuring the best possible adaptability and practicality when it comes to meeting customer requirements of all kinds.
The 33 Tourismo buses will be stationed throughout the Federal Republic as "heavy personnel carriers" and used for the many tasks facing the Federal Police. These include major operations such as football league matches, demonstrations or disaster relief, where large numbers of personnel need to be transported rapidly. To make the waiting time as pleasant as possible before going into action, the 32 kW air conditioning system can be separately controlled from the cockpit. In conjunction with the convection heating on the side walls this ensures an agreeable onboard temperature at all times.
"We are very pleased to be equipping the Federal Police with these new personnel carriers", says Director Karl-Heinz Meier, head of the Police Technology and Materials Management department at the Federal Police headquarters in Potsdam, who took delivery of the buses in Mannheim on behalf of the Federal Police. "They ensure that our police officers will be able to reach their operational assignments in safety, comfort and in an environmentally friendly manner". The Mercedes-Benz Tourismo touring coach provides the ideal conditions for this: with ESP (Electronic Stability Program), ABS (anti-lock braking system), ASR (acceleration skid control) and BA (Brake Assist) the Tourismo sets high safety standards in its class
