The electrical bus revolution continues to develop. The most recent information on this regard, arriving yesterday, comes from Hamburg, Germany, and Daimler Buses. Daimler has been tapped by Hamburger Hochbahn AG to produce the transit company with 350 electrical buses. Specifically, these might be Mercedes-Benz eCitaro and Mercedes-Benz eCitaro G metropolis buses.
“Hamburger Hochbahn AG was particularly impressed by the low total cost of ownership (TCO) and the ease of repair of the eCitaro over the entire long service life of the electric buses to be supplied by Daimler Buses,” Daimler writes.
“Daimler Buses is enthusiastic about this exclusive contract as a provider of sustainable e-bus solutions. The Mercedes-Benz eCitaro once again received the ‘Electric Bus Champion’ award in 2024 and will be the perfect partner for Hamburger Hochbahn AG on its journey to convert its entire bus fleet to environmentally friendly e-mobility.”
Certainly. And congratulations to Daimler. There are a number of electrical bus fashions which have scooped up lots of orders lately, and the eCitaro is certainly one of them, so it’s clearly a aggressive, prime quality mannequin.
The eCitaro buses Hamburg might be receiving will use NMC3 batteries. The help methods embrace Preventive Brake Help and Sideguard Help. A few of the drive-assist options “go far beyond what is required by the General Safety Regulation (GSR) of the European Union,” Daimler provides.
Hamburg intends to have 100% of its bus fleet zero-emissions buses driving on inexperienced electrical energy by “the beginning of the 2030s.” Hamburger Hochbahn AG already received the German Sustainability Award 2024.
