New team bus for the Werkself

More space, more functionality, more sustainable – and absolutely stunning: Bayer 04 Leverkusen are now set to travel on the roads of Germany with a new team bus.

The back of the bus, with its conspicuous Bayer 04 logo, houses a 510 horse power Mercedes Benz engine. The tri-axle vehicle with a length of 14.165 metres has up to 37 seats, including 22 with tables and foot rests for the players. Eight seats with two tables can also be converted into two spacious couchettes.

The new team bus provides the Leverkusen players with more storage space for matchday kit as well as the highest levels of comfort like its predecessor. Fitted out with the latest technology and conforming to the Euro VI emission standards it also has low fuel consumption and the maximum possible anti-pollution levels.
