Mercedes-Benz buses come with advanced, practical solutions for tomorrow’s challenges – ensuring you remain that

Citaro G highlights 

The Citaro G is the systematic extension of what goes to make efficient, reliable local public 

transport. Designed to carry large numbers of passengers. Built for success. 

Capacity plus quality equals economy. On routes with 

high passenger throughputs you benefit not only from 

the Citaro G’s considerable capacity, but also from its 

high reliability. The Citaro G is built using proven, 

high-grade components from the Citaro modular system, 

offering quality down to the last detail. This is matched 

by the particularly economical Euro V or EEV drive 

systems with Mercedes-Benz BlueTec ® diesel technology 

plus exceptional ease of maintenance which significantly 

cuts downtimes. The overall result is low long-term 

lifecycle costs. 

Add attractiveness to your list of assets. With its distinctive 

looks the Citaro has always been something of a 

trailblazer in the local public transport sector. And the 

Citaro G continues this successful tradition by taking the 

4 

design vocabulary an impressive stage further. With an 

unmistakable Mercedes-Benz face rounding off the 

convincing overall appearance. So from front to rear, the 

Citaro G acts as an advertisement for the attractiveness 

of your public transport operation. 

Maximum comfort for maximum satisfaction. The Citaro 

G offers your passengers a low-floor design throughout as 

well as easy and convenient entry and exit. In the clearly 

laid-out, generous interior your passengers will immediately 

feel at home. With a wide range of equipment options 

the Citaro G makes it easy for you to put together just the 

right bus for your specific regular-service transport tasks 

and to delight your passengers with the result.

Engineering that puts you streets ahead 

Put your trust in a tried-and-tested regular-service bus concept, exemplified by the outstanding 

engineering in the Mercedes-Benz Citaro family - engineering that pushes the Citaro G ahead of the 

competition again and again. 

Agility coupled with stability. The Citaro G is easy to 

manoeuvre even in narrow inner-city streets. A proven 

low-floor articulation joint complete with a unique antijackknifing 

control system connects the front and rear 

sections. This design makes for high levels of stability 

and manoeuvrability. The Citaro G can even be manoeuvred 

with confidence when reversing. In such situations, 

the independent front suspension also plays its part, not 

only making it one of the most agile buses in its class, 

but also enhancing safety and delivering a level of ride 

comfort that is exceptional in a regular-service bus. 

Powerful and economical. The imposing, 17.94-metre 

length of the Citaro G is propelled by powerful, fuel- 

efficient engines which deliver either 220 kW or 260 kW 

and which boast Mercedes-Benz BlueTec ® diesel technology. 

Both engine versions comply with the strict Euro V or 

EEV limits, making them especially eco-friendly. With 

fuel consumption down by as much as 6 percent compared 

with their predecessors, they offer the sort of savings 

that really pay their way, particularly with fuel prices 

at today’s constantly high levels.

True greatness comes from within 

The Citaro G’s impressive economy is matched by its high-quality interior. The pleasant ambience it 

provides says a lot for you as a bus operator. And the comfortable workplace it provides says a lot 

for you as an employer. 

More comfort. The Citaro G is most at home when dealing 

with large numbers of passengers. The three-door version 

has room for 158 people on board whilst its four-door 

counterpart can carry 159 passengers. A low-floor design 

throughout, stretching from the first to the last row of 

seats, ensures a high level of comfort and a fast flow of 

passengers. The comfortable, hard-wearing seats together 

with the flexible grab-rail system are also fully geared to 

the needs of today’s public transport. Based on cost per 

passenger, the Citaro G is extremely inexpensive to buy 

and run. Indeed it is often the most economical solution of 

all for routes with high passenger volumes. 

More safety. Mercedes-Benz plays a trailblazing role 

when it comes to bus and coach safety, pursuing the vision 

of accident-free driving. The Mercedes-Benz integral 

safety concept contributes substantially to achieving this 

aim. By systematically implementing the philosophy of 

safety, this concept covers all stages of vehicle safety: 

from handling safety through safety in hazardous 

situations and protection in the event of an accident to 

minimising the consequences of an accident. 

In the Citaro G, too, you will find the integral safety concept 

from Mercedes-Benz put into practice without any 

compromises. One example of this is the strong annular 

frame construction coupled with reinforced longitudinal 

side rails, providing passengers with particularly effective 

protection in the event of a rear-end collision. Another 

major safety factor in regular-service buses is the driver’s 

workplace. For this reason the cockpit in the Citaro G 

has been meticulously designed to ergonomic principles 

so as to take as much strain off the driver as possible 

while he or she is at the wheel. Switches and controls are 

all placed where they are easy to reach and do not distract 

the driver. Can there be any better protection for your 

passengers than a driver concentrating fully on the job? 

After all, you can never be too safe.
