Mercedes-Benz O345K Conecto G – Turkish Articulated High-Floor City Bus Mod for Proton Bus Simulator

The Mercedes-Benz O345K Conecto G (Körüklü, Turkish for "bellows") is the rugged 18-meter high-floor articulated city bus built by Mercedes-Benz Türk in Turkey for export markets. This Proton Bus Simulator mod brings the indestructible Conecto G into PBSU — the platform that moved millions of passengers across Istanbul's IETT fleet, Russian municipal operators and other Eastern European cities through the 2000s and 2010s.

Compatibility and Technical Details

About the Real Mercedes-Benz O345K

Mercedes-Benz Türk is the Turkish subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz Group, operating major bus assembly plants at Aksaray and Hosdere for both domestic and export markets. The O345 platform launched in 1998, with the K variant (Körüklü, Turkish for "bellows") added in 2002 as the 18-meter articulated configuration. The O345K was rebranded as the Conecto G within the broader Mercedes Conecto family, with the G designation marking the articulated (Gelenkbus) variant. The platform became extremely popular across IETT (Istanbul Elektrik Tramvay ve Tünel İşletmeleri), the city's municipal transit operator, and was widely exported to Russian and Eastern European municipal fleets through the 2000s and 2010s.
