Pune, Sept. 1

Mercedes-Benz has entered the bus business in the country with the launch of its first ever bus, a luxury intercity coach that will initially operate on a few designated routes in Maharashtra and southern India.

The company will in time introduce more products in this segment, Mr Harald Landmann, head, Daimler Buses, has said.

The new 305 horse-power, Euro III complaint coach that is priced at Rs 80 lakh, comes with an O 500 R/RF chassis from the MB stable, and a body built by Jalandhar-based Sutlej Motors with whom the company signed an agreement earlier this year.

"This is the beginning of the Mercedes Benz bus story in India. We will certainly bring more than just luxury buses, but step-by-step as for one or two years we will have to stay with this product," Mr Landmann said.
