New model designations for trucks and busses

Daimler-Benz introduces the L 325 truck with new OM 325 engine as a further development of the L 5500 model. At the same time, the L 6600 is given the new designation L 315. All other Mercedes-Benz truck and bus models are also renamed over the second half of the year. A three-digit model series designation replaces the previous figure, which indicated the payload in kilograms.
