Daytime running lamps and low-beam headlamps, bi-xenon technology

The H7 headlamps of the new Citaro provide strong and efficient illumination of the road ahead. The LED daytime running lamps and LED turning indicators are integrated in the headlamp housing, further contributing to the safety and totally distinctive look of the new Citaro. Bi-xenon lights and fog lamps with integrated cornering light function are available as optional equipment.

Deep side windows

Another striking feature of the new Citaro’s appearance is the generously dimensioned side windows. They extend well down the side walls of the vehicle, giving the bus a transparent look. The three-dimensional moulded GRP wheel arches add variety and contrast to the body. The elastic material of the wheel arches prevents damage from minor impacts.

To make repairs easier, the side wall is divided into segments. The aluminium panelling reaches around the hem section at the base of the body structure, creating a smooth, continuous profile and also improving protection against corrosion. If desired, the side panelling can be segmented horizontally to facilitate repairs of minor damage.

Safe, weight-optimised structure

The bodyshell is still based on the proven annular frame technology, but with increased rigidity for better protection of the passengers in the event of a side collision. An outstanding safety feature in the front end is the crash element for optimum safety in a collision situation. Along with the strengthened A-zero columns and a clearly defined frame structure, this means the Citaro is already prepared for the future pendulum impact test according to European regulation ECE R 29.

The bodyshell of the Citaro has been developed to comply with the future ECE R 66/01 regulation, requiring a large survival space inside the vehicle if it overturns. The new regulation does not take effect until 2017, but the new Citaro already fulfils its requirements.
