Sydney - CNG Mercedez-Benz


The CNG Mercedez-Benz were delivered from 1999 - 2003. They were delivered without the necessary turbo charger needed for overcoming both the hilly Sydney terrain and the power reduction that generally comes with gas powered vehicles. As a result they struggle to climb some of Sydney's steep streets and are starting to look and sound rather worn out. It remains to be seen whether they will last even 10 years in service.
