Chennai – Daimler India Commercial Vehicles Pvt Ltd (DICV) of Oragadam, near Chennai, a subsidiary of Germany’s Daimler AG, has introduced ‘BSafe’ features for its BharatBenz bus fleet to help ensure safe public transport. The buses will come equipped with a range of features that help prevent the spread of infection, including UV Filer air circulation kit, hands-free doors, sanitisers, and temperature sensors.
The new BharatBenz bus comes with two seat cover options: one is an infection-proof cover that retains its anti-virus and anti-bacterial protection for up to 20 washes. The second is an easy-to-use disposable cover for passengers who want to avoid sitting on seats previously occupied and prefer a one-time use seat cover. Furthermore, the bus comes with a UV-Filter and Air circulation kit. The UV lamp kills up to 99.6% of airborne viruses while the air circulation system secures ventilation of fresh air from outside.

These vehicles address people’s apprehensions towards public transport by offering reassuring features in line with COVID safety and hygiene protocols.
