Mercedes Benz, the number one CV maker in the world has finally decided to enter in to City bus segment. Volvo bus is the market leader with its bus being used in the Rapid transit systems at Bangalore and Delhi successfully since it first started its bus running on Bangalore roads in 2006. Presently the low floor, City buses from Volvo run in 10 cities but 80% of the total vehicles being in Delhi and Bangalore.
Mercedes that has the 2 and 3 axle tourist buses in India for some reason decided so late to look in to this segment especially the Indian Metro cities are getting make over for their infrastructure and has strong blessing from Government with funds for urban development. The market is expected to grow at around 15-20% and events like the commonwealth Games would trigger the spike in demands.
Never the less this would trigger some competition to Volvo that has around 30% premium in pricing than its Indian competitors, TATA and Ashok Leyland due to its better quality, life and maintenance terms is expected to get to compete with Mercedes on the same lines.
