"Dubai commuters deserve the safest and most comfortable way to travel. Mercedes Benz vehicles are widely recognised as leaders in both the private and public transportation sectors. We are strongly committed to the development of Dubai's public transport system and these Mercedes vehicles are a welcome addition to the Dubai Municipality fleet," pointed out Khalid Abdulla Khoory, Director of the Transportation Department, Dubai Municipality.

"We are delighted to have been selected to supply Dubai Municipality with these vehicles.
