    Pictured in Tucum�n is a 1998 Mercedes-Benz LO814D with Marri Colonnese MC 97 bodywork. In Argentinean tradition it has 1-0-1 door arrangement, opo operation, 2+1 seating, but a novelty was the return to normal control chassis after years of purchasing frontal buses; also new is the use of a plain livery, when the tradition was three colours liveries.
