The Mercedes-Benz O 405 G is a city lines - articulated by Daimler-Benz in high-floor structure , which was built from 1984 to 2001 as standard. This vehicle belongs to the second generation of VÖV standard buses and is the direct successor of the O 305 G . The solo bus variant was available under the designation O 405 .

This vehicle shaped the cityscape of many German cities in the 1990s, but also found numerous customers in other European countries. Due to their robust construction and high reliability, the vehicles are also very popular on the used market.

The direct successor was the low-floor O 405 GN , which was manufactured from 1992, but production of the high-floor O 405 G continued in parallel and did not end until autumn 2001.

In conjunction with the optional stem of the O407 , one-piece or split windshields were also available.
