The ventilation and heating in the Mercedes-Benz O 302.

The history of the O 302 includes distinctive models. At the time, Daimler-Benz also exported buses to the USA, with the eye-catching stainless-steel paneling that was typical in the States. This paneling was optionally available for European O 302 units. The O 302 experienced a genuine highlight towards the end of its career: All teams competing in the 1974 World Cup in Germany traveled on O 302 coaches painted in their countries’ colors.
