English   The electrically powered Mercedes-Benz Citaro *
08.03.2018 von admin


Each battery module is made up of 15 cell modules, together with a control unit for monitoring purposes and as a means of balancing the charge of the battery cells. Each separate cell module houses twelve battery cells. Mercedes-Benz uses easily manageable prismatic cells with a capacity of 37 Ah each. With a minimum of six and up to a maximum of ten battery modules possible, transport operators can adapt their usage and charging strategy very precisely to individual needs. Opting for the largest number maximises the range of the buses, while a smaller number reduces the weight as well as the cost of purchase and allows more space for passengers - but potentially makes time-consuming interim, or 'opportunity', charging necessary.



With the maximum complement of ten battery modules, the all-electric Citaro with standard equipment weighs around 13.7 tonnes. In conjunction with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 19.5 tonnes, this corresponds to a payload of 5.8 tonnes or around 80 passengers – even in the rush hour, as is commonly necessary.

The Citaro's engineering has been future-proofed. Since the development of battery technology is progressing at a rapid pace, provision has already been made for the transition to the next generation.
