About the Real Mercedes-Benz O405

The Mercedes-Benz O405 is Mercedes's implementation of the VÖV-II standardized urban bus specification, developed by the Verband Öffentlicher Verkehrsbetriebe (Association of German Public Transport Operators) as the second-generation common-platform standard for municipal city bus procurement in West Germany. Produced from 1983 to 2001 at Mercedes-Benz's Mannheim plant, the O405 was operated across German municipal fleets through the 1980s and 1990s, with variants exported to operators in Australia, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Africa. The platform's step-entrance high-floor design predates the low-floor era that began in earnest with the 1997 Citaro launch, making the O405 a defining classic of pre-accessibility-standard urban transit.
