This is one of 3 new Mercedes Benz E250 Oceania hearses. Specifically built for the New Zealand and Australian market by Pilato sPa in Italy. The vehicles are mild hybrid ensuring smooth quiet performance, outstanding fuel economy whilst minimising emissions and harm to the environment. General Manager, Michael Powell said the purchase and specification of a new hearse fleet required a lot of planning, and when looking for the replacement vehicles for our aging Cadillac fleet, we wanted modern cars, that were appropriate to the occasion yet looked sleek and sophisticated in an understated way. The Mercedes are shortly to be joined by two new Chrysler 300C hearses.
