When it comes to transporting dozens of passengers daily, safety is not negotiable.

Every single journey your bus or coach fleet makes carries the responsibility of protecting lives — not only of those inside the vehicle, but of cyclists, pedestrians, and other road users as well.

That’s why having the right mirrors fitted on your fleet is not just important — it’s essential.

At Magnum Vehicle Solutions, we specialise in providing high-quality replacement mirrors that meet and exceed safety standards.

One standout product in our range is the Bus Coach Main Mirror Electric 24 Volt Heated C/W Glass (Left) – Genuine Mekra, designed for a wide range of well-known manufacturers including Scania, Volvo, Temsa, Plaxton, and Wrightbus.

Let’s take a closer look at why premium mirrors are critical for your fleet, and how this particular model delivers on every front.

 

1. Mirrors Are the First Line of Safety

In large commercial vehicles like buses and coaches, visibility is everything. Unlike cars, buses have significant blind spots due to their size and shape. The main mirrors, blind spot mirrors, and rear-view aids are what allow drivers to manoeuvre safely through busy city centres, narrow lanes, and motorways.

If a mirror is cracked, loose, or not functioning properly — it can lead to delayed reactions, missed hazards, and even serious collisions. That’s why investing in premium-grade mirrors like the Genuine Mekra Lang is a simple yet effective way to raise your fleet’s safety standards.

 

2. Why the Genuine Mekra Bus Coach Main Mirror Stands Out

Let’s break down the key features of the Mekra Lang Electric Heated Mirror:

• Manufacturer: Mekra Lang – a trusted name and Original Equipment (OE) manufacturer in the commercial vehicle industry.
•  Control Type: Electric Glass Adjustment – allowing the driver to fine-tune the view with precision, ensuring optimal visibility in real time.
•  Heated Glass: The integrated heating function quickly clears condensation and frost, maintaining visibility even in the harshest UK weather conditions.
•  Finish: Sleek black design that complements most modern coach and bus aesthetics.
•  Fitment: Supplied complete with glass and back cover, so it’s a hassle-free replacement.
•  Compatibility: Suitable for a wide array of vehicle makes and models, including:
• Volvo: 7500 DD, 7700, 8700 City Bus, 9300, 9700, Interregio
• Scania, Plaxton, Wrightbus, Temsa, Solaris, Hymer, EvoBus
• And many more including BMC, Concorde, Irisbus, and Tourliner
•  Driving Side: Compatible with both left- and right-hand drive configurations.
•  Voltage: 24 Volt – standard for heavy-duty commercial applications.

This mirror is built for durability, clarity, and reliability, helping drivers maintain control and awareness on the road — no matter the conditions.

 

3. Blind Spot Mirrors – Don’t Overlook the Details

While main mirrors are critical, your fleet should also be equipped with blind spot mirrors to cover areas that standard mirrors can’t capture. At Magnum Vehicle Solutions, we offer our own branded blind spot mirrors, trusted by drivers across the UK.

These mirrors provide additional angles — particularly for tight corners, kerbside views, and lane changes — helping reduce the risk of accidents. For fleet managers, this means greater peace of mind and lower long-term costs related to collisions and insurance claims.

 

4. Next-Day UK Delivery – Because Time Matters

When a vehicle is off the road due to damaged mirrors or visibility issues, it’s not just an inconvenience — it’s lost income. At Magnum VS, we understand the importance of minimising downtime. That’s why we offer free next-day UK delivery on all our mirrors and parts.

6. Why Premium Mirrors are a Smart Investment

It might be tempting to cut costs with budget parts, but mirrors are not where you should compromise. Low-quality replacements can fail, offer distorted views, or not hold up to long-term use. In contrast, genuine products like Mekra Lang mirrors are designed and tested to OEM standards, ensuring:

• Greater driver confidence
• Fewer visibility-related accidents
• Longer lifespan and durability
• Full compatibility with existing mounting and electrical systems
