The bus city of Mannheim places special value on the history of the automobile, particularly that of the bus. The vehicles on show at the MOT make it clear that the tradition of invention and development has continued almost uninterrupted until the present day, in keeping with the motto of automotive pioneer Gottlieb Daimler: "The love of invention never dies".
This "love of invention" finds expression in the current Mercedes-Benz Models from the Mercedes-Benz Buses product unit. The outward appearance of many of the exhibits alone combines modernity and tradition, state-of-the-art bus technology and highlights from buses of the past, interspersed with attractive classics to provide an intriguing contrast.
