Citaro for Stuttgart’s fire brigade

The outstanding handling of the Citaro (for gentle transport of casualties), its low-floor design with no steps to climb and no raised platform elements in the front section of the bus, its reliability, its safety features, including EBS electronic brake system, ABS and acceleration skid control, along with convenience features like the kneeling function and the body lifting and lowering device, played just as big a part in the decision for the low-floor bus from Mercedes-Benz as the drive configuration with 205 kW/279 hp horizontal six-cylinder engine OM 906 hLA in combination with a ZF Ecomat six-speed automatic transmission.
