Mercedes-Benz Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid
It generates no emissions while running, is whisper-quiet and conserves resources: the new Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid bus from Mercedes-Benz opens up a whole new era in drive technology for urban buses. The newcomer will have its world premiere from 7 - 11 June in Vienna at the UITP Congress (the World Congress of the International Association of Public Transport). The advent of the Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid bus means that the future really has arrived: the launch of the prototype will shortly be followed by small series production while next year will see the start of a large-scale test of the Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid bus on the basis of ten customer vehicles in service in Hamburg. The objective is for further in-service testing in customer fleets to be conducted at European level.
Innovative concept with proven components
The first fuel-cell hybrid bus from Mercedes-Benz is an innovative vehicle concept which combines elements of already proven Mercedes-Benz fuel-cell buses, the diesel-electric Citaro G BlueTec Hybrid bus and technical enhancements to form a new, trend-setting drive concept. The platform is provided by the successful Mercedes-Benz Citaro urban bus. Developed within the context of Daimler's global "Shaping Future Transportation" initiative, the Citaro FuelCELL-Hybrid bus represents another major step on the way towards emission-free travel.
