The company"s morale increased when it received overwhelming response for its 2 and 3 axle coaches. The introduction of buses is an added charm to the urban commuting for the metro population, he said. Mercedes, he added, always stood for the latest in terms of technology and offering fitting products suited for the need. He said the luxury bus will end up with Travel with Star value. Mercedes Benz has the distinction as the first to introduce buses to the world, going along with technology and taking to the newer aspects of transportation.

The 2axle coaches from the company came to the market some two years ago and its Multi-axle coach was unveiled at Auto Expo in 2010. Incidentally these two versions are well accepted by government bus transport organizations, fleet operators and private operators. The buses offered all the requisites for comfortable journey and cost-efficiency to the operators.
