Using a CCS plug, the fully electric eCitaro can be charged with up to 150 kilowatts. Each vehicle comes with two sockets in different locations, enabling you to position your city bus either on the left or right of the charging station, as you require. This simplifies both the charging strategy and the positioning in the parking areas. There's also the possibility of charging two eCitaro buses sequentially, i.e. one after the other, at a single charger with two charging points. This avoids charging peaks and takes into account your e-buses' deployment times, which of course often vary. If you prefer interim charging, for example at an end station, the eCitaro can also adapt as needed. How? Because the eCitaro can also come fitted with a current collector (pantograph) or alternatively with charging rails on the roof, which can be connected to the fixed pantograph at a charging station. The charging interfaces can optionally be fitted with an RFID tag to ensure clear vehicle identification during charging at the depot. Both pantograph solutions enable high-performance charging with up to 300 kW charging capacity. The eCitaro is also available with combinations of plug charging and pantograph or charging rails.
