Mercedes Benz Showcases the fully-electric eCitaro and digital services at GPTS.
Stuttgart / Stockholm – “The Art of Public Transport” is the motto of the Global Public Transport Summit (GPTS) being held from 9 to 12 June in Stockholm. The Mercedes-Benz exhibition at the congress of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP) will be centred around the fully-electric low-floor eCitaro urban bus, the comprehensive e-mobility system and innovative digital services.
Solo bus, articulated bus, short variant, low-entry bus and inter-city versions – the Mercedes‑Benz Citaro is one for all. The CapaCity is recommended for routes with high passenger numbers. Derived from the Citaro, this high-volume bus has four axles and can be as much as 21.0 m in length. Just as versatile are the drive system technologies available for the Citaro. A focal point in this area is the fully electric eCitaro. With its energy efficiency, it sets benchmarks. The concept is especially interesting to transport companies and the numerous orders already received are proof of that. Upcoming battery technologies, including the ground-breaking solid-state batteries with especially high, pioneering energy density levels, also serve to underline the sustainability of the eCitaro.
E‑mobility at Mercedes‑Benz is a comprehensive system made up of several components. The comprehensive e-mobility system from Mercedes-Benz takes into account such things as power supply, charging infrastructure, rotational planning, telematics systems, service concepts and the training of employees. Mercedes‑Benz eMobility Consulting is on-hand to help with the planning of e-mobility. Omniplus and the authorised service partners provide eMobility Service.
