MB O307 Manual – Classic German Intercity Bus Mod

Mercedes-Benz O307 (5-Speed Manual) – Classic German Intercity Überland Bus Mod for Proton Bus Simulator

The Mercedes-Benz O307 is the classic German intercity Überland bus produced from 1973 to 1987, defining the regional transit catalog for rural and intercity routes across West Germany. This Proton Bus Simulator mod brings the O307 into PBSU with the rare 5-speed manual transmission simulation, the iconic StÜLB curved-windshield front-end styling and the vintage 1970s-80s dashboard layout that gives the platform its distinctive pre-automatic mechanical driving character.

About the Real Mercedes-Benz O307

The Mercedes-Benz O307 is a classic German Überland (intercity/regional) bus produced from 1973 to 1987 at Mercedes-Benz's Mannheim plant, designed for regional transit routes connecting smaller West German cities and rural communities. The StÜLB designation refers to the standardized intercity bus specification developed by German transit operators in the 1970s, and the O307 represented the second generation of Mercedes intercity buses to meet that standard — the curved windshield design became its most recognizable visual feature. The 5-speed manual transmission was standard equipment in this pre-automatic era, requiring active gear management from the driver — a configuration largely extinct from modern urban transit but central to the O307's vintage driving character.
