Providing comprehensive insights into the Mercedes-Benz bus chassis, Mr. Sultanuzzaman Sazan, Executive Director of Rancon Trucks and Buses, shared, “Mercedes-Benz has been a pioneer in crafting top-tier bus chassis for 128 years, a legacy of unmatched quality, now available in Bangladesh. Our chassis features a propeller shaft and retarder for each cylinder, ensuring heightened safety and extended braking capabilities.
