Mercedes-Benz Citaro hybrid – the hybrid bus that pays for itself
  • Up to 8.5 percent lower consumption, quick amortisation
  • Straightforward drive technology to assist the combustion engine
  • Low weight, takes up little space, height largely unchanged
  • Proven bus, passenger car and truck components
  • Wide range of Citaro hybrid models



The arrival of the Citaro hybrid sees Mercedes-Benz open a new chapter in the evolution of city bus drive systems. This marks the first time anywhere in the world that hybrid technology has been offered as optional equipment for an extremely wide range of city buses with both diesel and gas engines, rather than in the form of stand-alone models. In this way, a large number of models can benefit from its advantages: depending on the operating profile and vehicle version, the Citaro hybrid combines with the electrohydraulic steering, another new feature, to lower the fuel consumption of the famously efficient Citaro by as much as 8.5 percent again. Thanks to the intelligent combination of existing components from the Daimler Group, the Citaro hybrid is able to offer a wealth of benefits: it is highly efficient, light, inexpensive to purchase and unproblematic for drivers and workshops alike. The new Citaro hybrid is not an interim technology on the road to the all-electric drive system, rather it is being used by Mercedes-Benz in a unique way to hone the internal combustion engine for maximum efficiency.

Up to 8.5 percent lower consumption, quick amortisation

The key strength of the new Citaro hybrid is its remarkable economy that enables it to clearly stand out from the competition – the Citaro hybrid pays for itself. This is all rooted in a clearly defined development goal: to make minimal modifications to the basic vehicle while maximising fuel efficiency. The Citaro with combustion engine is already acknowledged to be very efficient, yet the intelligent combination of various components lowers the fuel consumption of the Citaro hybrid by as much as 8.5 percent by comparison, depending on the route it operates on and the model version.
