The new eCitaro fuel cell

Variants

The eCitaro fuel cell from Mercedes-Benz is the enduring all-rounder among battery-electric scheduled-service buses. Thanks to the latest generation of highly efficient lithium-ion batteries and advanced fuel cell technology, it covers routes of around 400 kilometres – without having to recharge. And with a passenger capacity of up to 88 passengers, it is the ideal size for local emission-free regular service in cities.

The solo bus has five hydrogen tanks with a total capacity of 25 kilograms. There are also three battery packs with a total capacity of 294 kWh. The compact fuel cell module is located on the roof just behind the front axle, which means perfect weight distribution. The carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer hydrogen tanks, each with a capacity of five kilograms, are also safely housed on the roof.

The new eCitaro fuel cell

The Mercedes-Benz eCitaro G fuel cell is the ideal solution for very busy routes. The battery-electric articulated bus with fuel cell transports up to 128 passengers emissions-free on local routes through the city – and runs around 400 kilometres without recharging. How does it do it? With modern high-performance batteries and a highly efficient fuel cell to extend its range.

The modular system of the eCitaro fuel cell makes a range of battery and hydrogen tank combinations possible – and thus the right configuration for any requirement. Mercedes-Benz can equip the articulated bus with a selection of six or seven hydrogen tanks, providing a total capacity of 30 or 35 kilograms, as well as three or four battery packs with a maximum energy capacity of 392 kWh. The hydrogen system is designed for a pressure of 350 bar. The compact fuel cell module is located on the roof of the rear section of the articulated bus. The carbon-fibre-reinforced polymer hydrogen tanks, each with a capacity of five kilograms, are also safely housed on the roof.
