Launched in 1999, the new Mercedes-Benz Travego high-deck touring coach was impressively spacious and featured a new driver's seat with an easy-to-use joystick replacing the traditional gearshift lever. Disc brakes all round and the electronic brake system (EBS) increased safety levels. One year after its introduction, Mercedes-Benz gave its "safety innovations leader" new assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control (ART), Lane Assist (SPA) and the continuous brake limiter (DBL), as well as the Electronic Stability Program (ESP®). In the years that followed, these all became available as standard features or as options.

In 2006, the Travego Safety Coach caused a stir: based on the second generation of the high-deck coach which had been launched the year before, it brought together all the safety technologies available at the time. And in the years to come, the Travego continued to underline its position as a technology leader. Some examples among many: in 2008, the Travego premièred Active Brake Assist, the world's first automatic emergency braking system for buses. It underwent ongoing further development in the years to follow. In 2012, the Travego Edition 1 was the first touring coach to comply with the Euro VI emissions standard. In 2014, the Travego saw the introduction of the Predictive Powertrain Control cruise control system.
