Launch of the new bus rapid transit route in Casablanca with 40 Mercedes-Benz CapaCity L large-capacity buses

Leinfelden-Echterdingen/Casablanca (Morocco) - Daimler Buses has delivered 40 new Mercedes-Benz Capacity L vehicles to the Casa Transports SA transport authority in Casablanca. The authority is responsible for public transportation in the entire Casablanca metropolitan area, including surrounding cities and municipalities. The new, large-capacity buses are operated by operating company RATP Dev. The new CapaCity L will be deployed on the first two routes of the "Bus Rapid Transport" (BRT) network, which was inaugurated at the beginning of March 2024 in the North African economic hub. The large-capacity buses operate continuously on separate bus lanes. Bus Rapid Transit is a modern bus transport system that offers fast, comfortable and cost-efficient urban mobility thanks to dedicated lanes and high-frequency operations. Contract conclusion and delivery of the 21-meter-long large-capacity articulated vehicles is the responsibility of Auto Nejma, the Moroccan general distributor of Daimler Buses.
