The Citaro G BlueTec Hybrid is a stepping stone en route from the diesel engine to series production of the fuel cell as a means of powering vehicles. With its serial diesel-electric hybrid drive, it enables extremely quiet, emission-free driving for several kilometres at a time.

The new Citaro FuelCELL Hybrid unveiled in early summer 2009 completes the final step to emission-free driving. Its avant-garde vehicle concept takes elements from tried-and-tested Mercedes-Benz fuel-cell buses and the diesel-electric Citaro G BlueTec Hybrid, and fuses them together with technical advances to create a new trailblazing drive system. The platform is provided by the Citaro.
The Citaro FuelCELL Hybrid emits no pollutants whatsoever and hardly makes a sound as it glides along.
