The bus is one of the world's safest modes of transport, thanks in no small part to Mercedes-Benz innovations. Mercedes-Benz takes more responsibility for bus and coach safety than any other manufacturer. Many innovations now included as standard celebrated their début in a vehicle bearing the three-pointed star. For example the Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) or the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®).

Responsibility is a serious matter. That is why Mercedes-Benz pursues the vision of accident-free driving. The Mercedes-Benz integral safety concept contributes substantially to achieving this aim. By systematically implementing the philosophy of safety, this concept covers all stages of vehicle safety: from handling safety through safety in hazardous situations and protection in the event of an accident to minimising the consequences of an accident.
