The company will be unveiling a special application coach, completely designed, developed and engineered by the brand, known as Columbus. They will also be launching their flagship premium luxury coach for the Indian market, known as Mammoth. The coach is already being produced for international markets since its unveiling last year at Bus World 2015 held in Mumbai, and the company is now introducing this product in the domestic market.
According to MG Group, the Mammoth, built on the MAN chassis, has been made with the focus of being one of the safest and most comfortable premium luxury coaches in India.
