As far as i know in the trucks the names of scania, mack, MAN ,freightliners,Hino's, Kamaz are heard often. Havent heard much of the merc's capablities

Dude, I'll post the tech-spec of the new bus as soon as I have it with me. But regarding the capapbility of the Merc in CV, its one of the best selling & most advanced in its class, both heavy truck as well as buses. The Actros & the Travego are example for the same. The next competitors who are upto the level are MAN, Scania, Volvo & Freightliner in US markets, Hino, Kamaz, etc are way down in the segment.
