The Mercedes-Benz Citaro is Europe's best-selling city bus and has been setting standards in public transport for decades. As a low-floor solo bus (12.14 m) or articulated bus (18.13 m), it handles daily line operations in hundreds of cities worldwide. As the world's first line-service bus to meet the Euro VI standard, the Citaro revolutionized its environmental footprint; the optional 48-V hybrid module reduces fuel consumption by up to 8.5%. Comprehensive safety systems such as Sideguard Assist 2, Preventive Brake Assist 2, and MirrorCam are standard equipment. The Citaro is built at the traditional Mannheim plant.
