Mercedes-Benz Oman unveils new school bus

 A school bus designed to be safer for children has been unveiled by Mercedes-Benz at the recently-held School Transport Exhibition.

The event took place from 7th to the 9th of May and the vehicle manufacturer showcased its OF 917 RFC model which included three-point seat belts, fire-resistant seats, and a rear camera, so that bus drivers can look out for the safety of children both inside and outside the vehicle, in addition to providing an additional view of the road behind them. 

“The safety and comfort of children is a responsibility we take very seriously and our brand continually raises the bar for safety, engineering and innovation for school buses in Oman and the rest of the world,” said Lawrence Good, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Oman. “The Mercedes-Benz philosophy is ‘the Best or Nothing’ and with the OF 917 RFC we are proud to introduce ‘the Best’ in school transport to Oman.”

Also standard with the bus are anti-slip and skid vinyl on the floor to avoid mishaps, while CCTV keeps a watchful eye on the young travellers
