Mercedes Benz Sprinter City 45

The recently announced 2016/7 vehicle order by Stagecoach included 30 Mercedes Benz Sprinter City 45's. Great speculation has followed the Stagecoach announcement as to where these minibus vehicles will be allocated. Focus Transport can't help you on where they are going but we thought it would be useful to look at what the City 45 is all about.

It is a van based Euro 6 service vehicle powered by a 2.2-litre (2,143cc) OM651 four-cylinder unit fitted with a 7G-Tronic fully automatic gearbox.
The 45 designation means that the vehicles will be long wheelbase with a GVW of between 5.0 - 5.65 tonnes.
The City 45 has been designed to meet the needs of the UK market. The standard spec has 1,250mm double swing out doors leading to a flat low floor area between the axles with steps up to a seating area at the rear. Destination equipment is fitted as standard.
