Daimler Buses India is celebrating the roll-out of its 100th FUSO bus from the production line at its Chennai plant. Daimler Buses India began production of FUSO branded 9-ton buses for export markets in October 2019 and has since ramped up production of fully-built FUSO school and staff buses serving UAE markets. The production of the 100th FUSO bus for exports comes as a significant achievement considering the extremely challenging times for the industry due to the COVID pandemic.
Apart from exporting fully-built FUSO buses, Daimler Buses India also produces fully-built buses and bus chassis for 17 export markets. Since 2015, more than 3,000 buses made in India have been delivered to export markets.
The 9-ton bus models with front-mounted engines are manufactured at the Daimler India Commercial Vehicles (DICV) plant in Chennai and are produced according to specific market requirements adhering to stringent quality processes.
Daimler Buses India started production in 2015 and has already more than 4,500 BharatBenz and Mercedes-Benz buses running on Indian roads, with customers supported through a network of more than 230 sales and service touch points pan-India.
