Because every detail counts.

The tried and tested Citaro modular design.

The secret to its success is, without a doubt, based on the tried and tested Citaro modular design. This allows it to cover the complete range of transport needs of public local transport in city and country bus line services. We have a suitable product in our range for every requirement, and transport operators can benefit from a uniform modular system and their interchangeable parts despite the different types of Citaro in existence. This makes the Citaro a bestseller worldwide and a popular brand representative.

Driven in almost every big city in Europe, it provides the backbone of many metro bus lines around the world and transports passengers in Mexico, Japan and Abu Dhabi. When the Mercedes-Benz Citaro came on the scene the world of regular-service buses was revolutionised. Since then it has steadily continued its triumphant march forward with well over 45,000 vehicles delivered and has been a standard bearer for years with assured popularity in city use.

Distinctive design, appreciable comfort, comprehensive safety, outstanding environmental record, excellent quality and impressive economy make the Citaro a standard by which to measure regular-service buses. In addition it offers an unbelievable range of variation which makes it the ideal vehicle for all the tasks required in regular city service and nearby rural transport.

Mercedes-Benz has played a pioneering role in the development of environmentally friendly, innovative drive system technologies as far back as we can remember. With BlueEfficiency
Power technology a benchmark was set by which Citaro became the first regular-service bus in the world with Euro VI. Production itself already focuses on the greatest possible environmental compatibility. The cathodic dip priming process is almost completely free of solvents. Since 2007 the Citaro has even been available with the "Blue Angel" environmental seal. And at the end of a successful life as a city bus its components are excellent candidates for recycling.

It's not just the Citaro itself that's impressive but also the many awards it's received. It was crowned the European-wide "Bus of the Year" award multiple times and has been the repeat winner since 1998 in its category of "Best Commercial Vehicle".

Like no other manufacturer, we at Mercedes-Benz stand for high quality which is also consistently exhibited in the Citaro. It is crafted in the most state-of-the-art bus production plants. Each part is subjected to extensive tests and strict checks – for a long bus life and exemplary economy.
