Mercedes-Benz O405G — 18m High-Floor Articulated Bus Mod

Mercedes-Benz O405G — 18-Meter High-Floor Articulated City Bus Mod for Proton Bus Simulator

The Mercedes-Benz O405G is the articulated sibling of the legendary O405, bringing late-1980s German engineering to an 18-meter, high-floor city bus designed for high-capacity urban routes. This Proton Bus Simulator mod captures the rugged mechanical character of the era — pusher-configuration drivetrain, classic dashboard layout, and the unmistakable boxy silhouette that defined Mercedes-Benz city buses through the close of the twentieth century.

Highlights and Features

• Drive an 18-meter articulated high-floor city bus that captures the mechanical character of late-1980s Mercedes-Benz engineering.
• Operate the pusher-configuration drivetrain that powered the O405G across Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia.
• Master the articulated joint with realistic bending physics, ideal for tight urban corridors and BRT-style routes.
• Run smoothly on Android with mobile-tuned textures and compatibility with both PBSU 2017 and 2020 builds.

About the Real Mercedes-Benz O405G

The Mercedes-Benz O405G is the articulated, high-floor sibling of the O405 city bus, produced by Daimler-Benz at the Mannheim plant in Germany from 1987 until 2001. At roughly 17.7 meters long, it carried high passenger loads across a hinged two-section body and became a familiar sight in transit fleets in Germany, Singapore, Hong Kong, and Australia. The O405G represents the last generation of high-floor articulated city buses from Mercedes-Benz before the low-floor Citaro G took over the lineup at the turn of the millennium.
