"The Mercedes Conecto has been deployed for several years across multiple European markets and will now be made available in Germany. Its positioning within the Daimler Buses range establishes a clear technical and commercial distinction from the Citaro, which remains dedicated to complex configurations, customised specifications and public tenders."
"Production, Daimler points out, is carried out through a cooperation with Turkish manufacturer Otokar. Daimler Buses supplies key vehicle components and dedicated production equipment to Otokar's facility, where manufacturing is supported by Daimler personnel on site."
"The Conecto is designed for more standardised applications, including school transport, replacement capacity and conventional urban line services. It will be offered as a 12-metre solo bus and as an articulated variant, covering the most common operational requirements in city transport."
Daimler Buses will introduce the Mercedes Conecto in Germany starting mid-2027, enhancing its city bus portfolio for private-sector operators. This model complements the existing Citaro range and is designed for standardized urban operations. The Conecto has been used in various European markets and will now be available in Germany. Production will occur in collaboration with Turkish manufacturer Otokar, providing additional capacity. The Conecto includes a 12-metre solo bus, an articulated variant, and a hybrid version, catering to diverse operational needs in city transport.
