Info (SP): Tras el éxito que tuvo en la empresa el modelo V.O.V. motorizado por Mercedes Benz, Guaguas decidió volver a intentar repetir su suerte añadiendo 6 unidades de la gama Habit con una motorización mas reciente de Mercedes Benz (la cual se encuentra mayormente en el popular modelo Citaro de la marca). Sin embargo dicha expectativa no se cumplió ya que el retarder de esta nueva motorización limitaba significativamente la potencia de estos vehiculos. Al poco de incorporarse fueron permanentemente asignados rutas llanas como la 1, 2 o 17. En 2019 se sufrió la primera baja de uno de estos vehiculos (567) que se quemo en frente de las cocheras de la empresa. En diciembre de 2020 se retiraron las 5 unidades restantes; se desconoce el paradero oficial de las unidades 566 y 568 pero desde su retirada las unidades 569, 570 y 571 descansan abandonadas en una nave industrial.
Info (EN): After the success the company had with the Mercedes Benz powered V.O.V. range, Guaguas decided to attempt to repeat their lucky strike adding 6 vehicles from the Habit range with a more recent Mercedes engine (which is the one found in the massively popular Citaro range). However such expectations were never fulfilled as the engine's retarder limited the vehicle's power, which is why they were permanently assigned to flat landscaped routes such as 1, 2 or 17. The first casualty occurred in 2019 were a vehicle (567) was completely destroyed when it burst into flames in from of the company depot. In December 2020 the remaining 5 units were all retired at once; it is unknown what happened to units 566 and 568 but units 569, 570 and 571 have been abandoned at an industrial area since their retirement.
