It was equipped with a robust engine like the **OM 457**, a 6-cylinder diesel engine with a turbo and intercooler, delivering significant horsepower.
* **Mercedes-Benz OF-1721:** This was a front-engine chassis, making it a more economical option often used for shorter-distance routes or shuttle services.
