Is anybody still buying Mercedes for commuter fleets in any significant numbers?

Busways have some Mercedes buses with Custom Endeavour bodies on their way to Gosford from memory so I presume they likely have some bus chassis in stock.

Wow, that's a major shame, I get why through;

Was really looking forward to seeing what a "localised" Mercedes-Benz Electric bus would look like but guess that was long shelved anyway.

This was reportedly due in 2022 however no one's mentioned it, said anything or sighted it (also no further announcements)
