Combining efficiency and range: the new eCitaro fuel cell

Time to discover the electric bus with an extra-long breath at the Busworld 2023 in Brussels: the new Mercedes-Benz eCitaro fuel cell handles demanding long-distance routes without intermediate charging. More than 400 kilometres of uninterrupted range for the solo bus and the articulated bus with high passenger capacity. This is made possible thanks to the combination of the latest-generation of batteries and a compact fuel cell. Resolute, practical, economical.

There are no MB buses where i live. They are all VOLVO and MAN that set on fire, blow over in the wind, roll over on the ice and snow, crash into low bridges, engines overheat when they are at full capacity and SCANIA buses limiters blow their fuses or electronics or drive with alarms sounding and some Alexander Dennis buses that say "Engine temperature too hot. Please stop". Driver stops, turns engine off and restarts. They get stuck in gear one. They took all the bendy buses off the road and now Double Deckers are been set on fire and most UK bus depots are calling for bendy buses to return to service. There is 6 UK bus depots considering ordering the CapaCity or CapaCityL due to its snow and ice correction feature. UK museums today have had the bomb squads, single decker buses are overcrowded and double decker buses are driving around parts of the UK, empty.

Appears to me from your description of the situation that the real problems are not so much with the buses itself but more of some social perhaps even political 'forces' behind the scenes trying to achieve the objectives of some special interests groups ?!!!

How is it possible for same range 400 km with rigid / articulated versions..because it should be expected that articulated is more heavy ?? Unless the battery capacity in rigid model is smaller etc. ?

Thank you so much for your question!
The range of our buses depends on the respective vehicle configuration and the customer’s usage profile. Due to the modular vehicle concept, customer needs can be considered and implemented smartly.
The eCitaro G fuel cell can be equipped with more H2 bottles and more batteries for more capacity. We hope this answers your question.

Do you have to fill the O2 in the Bus or is it doing by itself while driving?

Thank you for your question! The oxygen used in the reaction within the fuelcell is obtained through the air.
