Advanced air conditioning for passenger compartment

The continuous mid-section of the ceiling has an unobtrusive design with evenly spaced holes, used for uniform ventilation of the passenger compartment. Like its predecessor, the new Citaro can also be supplied with an optional, highly effective roof duct ventilation system with integrated heating. Heating in the lower area is with side wall radiators, or a convector heating system as a special equipment option.

As a further choice, filling the gap between ventilation and air-conditioning options, the rigid bus version can be fitted with a compact air-conditioning system. This takes the form of separate, independent units positioned over the roof hatches, requiring no ducting except for the power supply.

Passenger seating arrangements unchanged

One of the features retained from the previous model is the proven seating design with cantilever mountings. The seats are manu­factured in-house. Standard equipment is the City Star Eco seat. In the Citaro Ü, because of the longer travel times, the Inter Star Eco intercity seat is used. Numerous variants of both these seats are available.
