The interior is monitored by multiple cameras, ensuring passenger security, and includes amenities like USB charging ports and infotainment displays to improve the travel experience.

The electric three-door buses will be integrated into HEAG mobilo’s existing network, contributing to the company’s goal of operating a more sustainable and environmentally friendly public transport system.

With the addition of these five eCitaro buses, the company continues to move towards its objective of significantly reducing CO₂ emissions and reliance on diesel-powered vehicles.
