Mercedes-Benz Buses: Citaro: Total cost of ownership

Every bus costs money. The Citaro saves it.

The perfect drive.

BlueEFFICIENCY Power engines with BlueTEC 6 are not only impressive because of their enormous economic efficiency, but also because of their excellent environmental compatibility. The engines ensure a drastic reduction in nitrogen oxides and particles in exhaust gas. Pollutants have reached the detection limit as a result. Independent investigations confirm that Citaro emission levels are even considerably lower than Euro VI limits under practical conditions. An impressive advance that once again sees the public service bus exceeding all expectations.

A real eco system.

Other components such as the lighting system, optional air conditioning system* or the electrically operated pivot-and-slide doors also have an effect on fuel consumption. The Citaro also has optimised battery management on board. All components are perfectly tuned to one another using intelligent electronics.

A bus only earns money when it is on the road.

Everything in the Citaro is designed to help avoid expensive down times. The filters for the air extraction in the driver's area are easy to access and have a high volume which means long intervals between cleaning. All the essential components are arranged to be simple and easy to access. This ensures long maintenance intervals and short repair times.
