The show vehicle: two-door Mercedes-Benz eCitaro

09.06.2019

The exhibited vehicle boasts elegant metallic anthracite paintwork to go with its distinctive eCitaro design. The urban bus features ten battery modules which deliver a total capacity of 243 kWh and thus a range of around 150 km in accordance with SORT 2 in the demanding warming period and around 250 km in ideal conditions. As an option, twelve battery modules with a correspondingly greater vehicle range are also a possibility. Due to the six battery modules on the roof, the vehicle is equipped with roll and pitch control for the suspension.

Two electric inward-swivelling doors open into the passenger compartment. This enjoys fully automatic air conditioning as standard thanks to the highly efficient Evo Thermatic Plus system with heat pump. Passengers can relax on "City Star Eco" seats from Mercedes-Benz. Grab bars in Evo Steel, black ceiling hand rails and the designer interior ceiling with innovative lighting provide visual accents. Passengers can access information from a 29-inch TFT monitor in the cross-aisle. They can use their own portable devices from a total of 14 double USB ports. The driver benefits from a climatised seat. The cockpit is as accustomed, except that the rev counter is replaced by a power meter that displays the energy flow of the eCitaro.
