NEW O500 RS IRIZARS
“Mercedes-Benz is excited that Southern Cross Transit has taken delivery of the O500 RS Irizar i6 3,700 school/charter bus, equipped with our proven OM457 Euro5 engine and GO240 eightspeed automated manual transmission, after being the first company to place.an order for this new model in Australia,” said Mercedes-Benz Buses (Daimler Truck and Bus Australia Pacific Pty Ltd) senior manager Mehmet Karal. “We know they will benefit from the comfort and the economy of this fantastic product. Importantly, this vehicle also features the most advanced safety systems such as lane departure assistance, active emergency braking system, and electronic stability program (ESP) among others to make sure everyone gets home safely. “The O500 RS chassis is our best-selling coach chassis in the traditional bus markets, where Mercedes-Benz has been the undisputed market leader for decades. We are proud to introduce this vehicle finally to Australian bus and coach operators,” Karal explained.

purchased these ’Benz-Irizar models and invested in these extra safety features.” Being primarily a school charter, the shutdown period as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic hit the business hard, as it lost 30 per cent of its revenue. A further 15 per cent of its revenue that normally comes from cash fares from students who are not eligible for state funding also dried up. Despite that, Oliveri remains optimistic for the future. “Now that full services have resumed, the challenge for us is to retain our market share of the school charter business, which we believe should get back to normal by Term Four of this year,” he said. “Our future plan is to grow our operations, particularly in the adult tour and charter market. However, we do not wish to grow at the expense of safety standards. That is something we will never compromise on.”
