Mercedes-Benz OMC

The Mercedes-Benz OMC series are body-ready bus platforms with a motor, drum brakes and leaf or mixed (L) suspension, produced by Mercedes-Benz in Mexico for the North American market since the early 1990s. Depending on the model they serve urban or short and medium-distance intercity use as basic, lower-cost platforms with inferior performance.
