Historical Context Reflected in Mod Selections

While the mod catalog primarily features more contemporary vehicles, the inclusion of manufacturers like Dina offers a connection to Mexico's bus manufacturing history. The DINA era of the 1970s and 1980s was characterized by the significant role of Diesel Nacional, a state-owned company that became a primary bus manufacturer, often producing vehicles based on licensed production designs. The presence of a Dina mod in the catalog provides a nod to this period of nationalized bus production.

* The Dina mod represents a manufacturer that played a significant role in standardizing Mexico's bus fleet during the 1970s and 1980s.
