平治OH1318 Mercedes Benz OH1318
一九九五年年尾，當新福利新購進的丹尼士飛鏢投入服務不久，替澳門公共巴士服務帶來一個新面貌，澳巴亦於不久之後，在一九九六年四月，引進四架平治OH1318新車。平治巴士對澳門巿民不會陌生，早於澳巴重組不久後，便於一九八九年購入六架配香港聯誠車身平治OF1313，聯同配同款車身的日產柴油CB12一起，行走主幹線10，接載乘客往返關閘，巿中心及媽閣。
這回澳巴所引進的OH1318跟OF1313最大分別在於，來自巴西的底盤是採用後置引擎佈局，這在澳巴而言還是首次，傳動系統採用Allison產品，操作不是一般的按鈕或者操作摃，而是透過一支類似電腦用的Joy-Stick。車身則同樣委託香港聯誠裝配，然後運抵澳門。當四架新車投入服務時，亦將澳巴新的車身色彩展示於乘客眼前。澳巴沒有忽略空調系統這環節，在這批平治上，仍然採用獨立引擎驅動空調機，當冬天時車長可以關上冷氣，而乘客則透過打開車窗保持車內空氣流通。
四架平治OH1318巴士一直主力行走10號線，直到二零一一年八月一日，因應新巴士營運模式要求，這批巴士因無法達到有關排放標準，以及已經有著十六年車齡，全數退役，而平治巴士亦由這刻開始，告別澳門公共巴士巿場之中。
There was something new to Macau public bus market in the end of 1995 when the introduction Dennis Dart by Transmac.
