Ingo ◊ 2012-09-04 21:14	the bus is not orign Germany!
Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-09-04 21:19	But the chassis might be. Like for now we list buses according to chassis origin (with exception when chassis was also made abroad - so for example some Brazilian MB's).
Ingo ◊ 2012-09-04 21:20	Also the chassis were built abroad, according to the local regulations of measures and weight-classes.
Weasel1984 ◊ 2012-09-04 21:22	They maybe were, but we know nothing (yet) how it was in this case. Till the late 90s MAN was the least "worldwide" manufacturer among the biggest manufacturers. -- Last edit: 2012-09-04 21:24:25
