The bus company Bayer from Ehingen is adding five Mercedes‑Benz eCitaro buses to its fleet to improve its e-mobility.
Bayer also took delivery of two 18-metre-long Mercedes‑Benz Citaro G articulated buses, each equipped with 48 passenger seats and two folding seats.
The 12-metre-long eCitaro buses have seating capacity for 36 passengers. The environmentally-friendly drive power is provided by a package of six batteries from the third NMC3 lithium-ion generation with a total capacity of 589 kWh.
Numerous driver assistance systems ensure the highest possible level of passenger safety.
These include, for example, Frontguard Assist, which detects potential collisions with unprotected road users in the immediate vicinity of the front of the vehicle and warns the driver.
Bayer managing partner, Sonja Bayer, said: “With the all-electric vehicles, we are making a significant contribution to promoting and shaping environmentally friendly public transport in our region,” says the managing partner.”
Achievements and innovations in sustainable transport planning will be recognised and celebrated at the fourth annual CiTTi Awards on 25 November 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
