Steel construction made in Sindelfingen
What’s more, special badges advertising “Steel bodywork from Daimler-Benz AG Sindelfingen” on the Mercedes-Benz buses praised the new engineering. While the bus chassis were produced at the Gaggenau plant at the time, the bodywork was the responsibility of the Sindelfingen plant; the latter had been Daimler-Benz’s “bus factory” since 1928. The large buses were the first to receive all-steel bodies, followed by the smaller models in subsequent years.
