The Citaro is based on a mature vehicle concept whose practical suitability has been proven by more than 20,000 units used in regular service in Europe.

This success is founded on Mercedes-Benz' quality philosophy in which high-quality, volume-produced components are combined with advanced manufacturing processes and a rigorous, systematic quality control programme to create an economical end product whose reliability you can count on.

To make sure that your Citaro retains these qualities throughout its long life, the bodyshell undergoes cathodic dip painting to provide it with particularly effective protection against corrosion.
