Mercedes-Benz has received a slew of new orders for its eCitaro electric bus. Vienna municipal Wiener Linien has ordered 60 Mercedes-Benz eCitaro to be delivered from next year until 2025. By the end of that period, Wiener Linien will have converted nine of its more than 100 routes to eCitaro operation. The 12m buses have lithium-ion batteries (NMC 3), with a capacity of 392kWh. Pantographs enable rapid charging at up to 300kW to boost range and operating times. Tests were conducted in the city before the order was placed. From June 2021, passengers used an all-electric Mercedes- Benz eCitaro G articulated bus free of charge for two weeks during practice runs on three routes. |
