What is a group of Mercedes-Benz Diesel Automobiles Called?

...a FOG of diesels?

Or, is it a "clatter" of diesels?

Good question... makes me think of the movie Chitty Chitty Bang Bang for some reason. Perhaps, with a name like that, she was a diesel.

(Imagine banjo picking in the background....)

Listen to the jingle, the rumble and the roar,

Riding through the woodlands, the hills and by the shore....
