- New: website in even more languages, BusStore warranty, service contracts
BusStore, the Daimler Buses used-bus brand, is now successfully established one year after its official launch, as recently highlighted by the successful BusStore Show 2015 staged on 6 and 7 February at the site in Neu-Ulm: Around 1000 visitors from more than 25 European countries attended the international used-bus show, with some 71 buses of all application types and a wide range of brands changing hands. New: BusStore is building on its position as Europe’s leading used-bussupplier by offering additional services.
Unique services covering all aspects of used buses
On both days of the event, visitors to BusStore Show 2015 experienced the unique full range of products and services offered by BusStore, Europe’s leading used-bus brand. Alongside the exhibition of around 160 checked and overhauled used buses of many designs and brands, the focal point of the event was the wide range of services offered by BusStore and its partners.
Service brand Omniplus provided information about its bus-specific services, including bespoke offerings for used vehicles such as BestAge Repair for repairs at a cost that reflects the current vehicle value, service contracts for used buses, high-quality genuine spare parts, the extensive BusStore quality check and the overhaul service.
Mercedes-Benz Financial Services presented its attractive Europe-wide finance deals. These are developed in close cooperation with local partners based on country-specific circumstances.
New: website in even more languages, BusStore warranty, service contracts for recent used vehicles
By offering additional services, BusStore is swiftly building on its position as Europe’s number-one used-bus supplier. The clearly and logically designed website www.bus-store.com, for example, is now available in 17 languages and covers all of Europe, from Finnish to Italian and from English to Russian.
One new feature is the BusStore warranty for the drive system, which is available for Mercedes-Benz and Setra touring coaches and regular-service buses. The warranty is reserved for buses in the BusStore “Gold” category, in other words buses aged up to three years following first registration with no more than 300,000 kilometres on the clock. The warranty is valid for twelve months and is available for all of Europe.
Further new features include the service contracts for used buses unveiled just a few months ago. First introduced in Germany, they are now being rolled out gradually across Europe.
It doesn’t stop there, though: currently represented by 17 of its own used-bus sites in Europe, BusStore is planning to expand its network by bringing on board specialist partners for used buses in almost all European countries. The aim is to create an extensive organisation throughout Europe.
BusStore – the brand of choice for used buses
BusStore is an independent brand under which Daimler brings together its European used-bus activities. The Europe-wide set-up with 17 of its own sites leads to a unique pool of vehicles, regularly comprising more than several hundred used buses.BusStore deals in buses of all renowned makes. As a brand in its own right, BusStore operates independently of the new vehicles organisation, actively pursuing used bus business with vigour. BusStore buys sought-after used buses on its own initiative, for example, and markets them internationally.
The unique BusStore services
BusStore leads the industry with its innovative services. Experienced experts in buses from Omniplus thoroughly check every new used bus. Overhaul work is carried out at the Omniplus service outlets located at the BusStore sites.
BusStore is closely linked to Mercedes-Benz and Setra Buses. Proximity to these two big bus brands lays the foundations for offering the highest levels of professional expertise. Thanks to its Europe-wide presence, BusStore is able to market not just individual buses but also complete bus fleets. The clearly designed website www.bus-store.com, available in several languages, shows just how easy BusStore makes the whole process for buyers of used buses. This website, which was redesigned in 2013, received some 300,000 hits in 2014, equivalent to one hit every two minutes. With an annual turnover of almost 2000 buses, BusStore is Europe’s leading supplier of used buses. Buying a used vehicle is a matter of trust – and the great trust customers place in BusStore is reflected by the fact that demand for used buses currently outstrips supply.
