Assistance systems for accident-free driving.
Integral safety concept.
Always safe: the eCitaro from Mercedes-Benz.
Unrivalled level of safety.
The eCitaro safety features are not individual measures. Rather, they are based on the Mercedes-Benz comprehensive and integral safety concept. To increase active safety, Mercedes-Benz has equipped the eCitaro with an extremely thorough range of safety features. Each eCitaro comes with innovative assistance systems that support driving personnel and reduce the risk of accidents. For example, Mercedes-Benz offers Sideguard Assist 2 and Frontguard Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection as standard, as well as the Preventive Brake Assist 2 active braking assistance system on request. Optionally available camera technology ensures more visibility and safety in the eCitaro: the 360° camera system in the rigid bus and eCitaro K and the 270° system in the articulated bus provide greater orientation when manoeuvring. What's more, the new MirrorCam offers a significantly larger field of vision for the driver when looking out of the side windows compared with conventional exterior mirrors.
Tried and tested safety for drivers, battery technology.
In terms of passive safety, all occupants benefit from a particularly resistant skeleton structure in annular frame design. For the driver, a crash element has been integrated into the front end as additional collision protection. And Mercedes-Benz has also paid very careful attention to the safety of the high-voltage system when developing the eCitaro. Testing the cell, cell module, battery pack and the battery groups in the vehicle has made the battery systems extremely safe. All battery modules are installed in a crash-proof manner and the high-voltage cables are well-shielded. The batteries have been tested and certified in accordance with hazardous goods regulations. For the solo bus, eCitaro K and articulated bus, Mercedes-Benz has also paid attention to optimum weight distribution for safe driving. The batteries are therefore distributed in and around the vehicle according to a sophisticated system.
Certified cyber security.
Maximum security even when transferring data: all Mercedes-Benz eCitaro buses are equipped with the Bus Data Centre, a telematics module that enables bidirectional transmission from and to the vehicle via the mobile phone network, as standard. Certified cyber security management in accordance with UN Regulation 155 ensures that your data remains secure.
