English   Mercedes-Benz Citaro with new Euro VI engines

Even safer than before

The Citaro was already recognised as the safety benchmark for regular-service buses, and has now raised the bar even higher. Its new emergency valves are disabled at speeds of more than 5 km/h, and are automatically reset after the opening or closing of the passenger doors.

At the design and production stages, close attention has also been paid to all the measures applied for increased fire safety. These include optimised electrical cable routes with safety in mind, high-grade steel fuel lines, the sandwich construction of the engine tower with internal isolation, and dripping pans under all fluid containers in the engine compartment. A fire alarm in the engine compartment is standard equipment, and can be combined with an automatic fire extinguisher device, also mounted in the engine compartment.

Ever-wider range of vehicles

With the introduction of the new Euro VI engines, Mercedes-Benz will progressively extend the range of new Citaro vehicles with further model variants to create a comprehensive family of urban buses.

During this year, the two-axle 12.1-metre-long rigid bus with two or three doors and the 18.1-metre articulated bus and the corres­ponding overland versions will be joined by the 10.6-metre-long compact Citaro K. Next year will see the arrival of the Citaro LE, in both city and overland versions, 12 and 13 metres long, respectively, and the right-hand drive variants. By autumn 2013, the range will comprise a total of 20 model variants.

The vertically mounted Euro VI-compliant OM 936 and OM 470 engines will be available for the start of series production, and will be followed by the horizontally mounted in-line six-cylinder OM 936h engine in mid-2013.
