With the delivery of the OH 1621/55 Low Entry bus chassis, Mercedes-Benz Camiones y Buses achieved its export goals: in this case, contributing to the mobility of 117 thousand users who daily travel Mexican streets, through the MobilityADO company in Mérida. The OH Low Entry manufactured in Virrey del Pino, La Matanza, will have its first launch abroad in the city of Mérida. “It is a great pride to see our products operating in other parts of the world. For Mercedes-Benz Trucks and Buses Argentina that means a long-term vision with many projects that will allow us to satisfy not only local demands, but also international ones, offering our products and services of excellence to other countries in the region,” commented Sebastián. Gysin, director of Sales and Marketing of Buses in Argentina.
The OH vehicles have a length of 10.5 meters, which, due to their smaller dimensions, can maneuver in tighter curves, for complex cities. “Another of the main advantages is its accessibility; Having a low entrance and a door between the axles allows all passengers to use this vehicle, thus providing modern, flexible, efficient and quality transportation for citizens,” said a statement from Mercedes-Benz. “There is no doubt that the Three Pointed Star unites us with the sole objective of providing Mexicans with world-class buses to provide mobility solutions, with the highest standards of quality, safety, comfort and cutting-edge technology. It is important to highlight that this type of OH Low Entry vehicle will have its official launch at Expo Transporte in Guadalajara in a few weeks,” said Raúl González, director
