On customer demand they fit the larger 10.7L-engines from the 3-axle-version into the 2-axle chassis...those go like hell

[@tiagovidal1670]

I took bus driving lessons in a Citaro and I can tell you he stopped pressing the kickdown. I once pressed on ot and kept pressure on the throttle and in around 15 seconds it was going 100km/h

[@saschaz.8243]

Probably an older model than this. They usually have a whole lot more punch than the newer models.

[@tiagovidal1670]

@@saschaz.8243 It was a 2009 Citaro

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

Euro 6 mapping means it wont be as punchy as say a Euro 4 or 5, OM904 engined Citaros sound a lot nicer at lower revs than the OM936 which only sounds good with the kickdown.

[@jetstream454]

Someone else mentioned it's speed limited to 80km/h

in my company, we have like 50 citaro's, a few Integro's and a few Volvo 9700. Ok... the citaro is the slowest one, but it's every drivers favourite. So easy to drive and the most effective one when u load and unload passengers. I sure hope the day they retire these citaro's, they will buy a new batch of citaro's :)

[@saschaz.8243]

Its the same at our company. We have mostly citaros of different generations, some Scania CityWide and 3 Solaris Urbino 12. Scania are ok, the Solaris are piles of crap but everybody loves the Citaros.

[@daveb0789]

Not bad for a bus. 10 seconds to 50 kph and about 24 seconds to 80 kph. Shame it's limited to this speed. A coach is slightly faster if fitted with a zf box like this vehicle.

[@Windows-uz5lv]

That’s pretty bad, many do that in the same time without anything near full throttle

[@maaax1173]

@RİPPER Obviously it is but buses can indeed do that in 10 seconds with half throttle

[@rifkyfahrana1141]

Hey cmon.. Citaro solo bus weigh almost twice of lion's city solo bus

[@keane3563]

Earth probably ended when it reached 100kmh

[@KuntalGhosh]

this bus is faster than my car! I mean on full flat acceleration it takes 40 sec to get 100km/hr...... I think this bus could do that in 30sec!

[@romankaroly114]

Kuntal Ghosh What car do you have for god sake?

[@siangetz8808]

Good lord... What car do you have?

[@nicofink5678]

Kuntal Ghosh are you sure it is a car you have?

[@KuntalGhosh]

Ok chill my car takes 16sec to go 0 to 100😂 .. its a toyota etios (110hp i think and manual )

[@nicofink5678]

Kuntal Ghosh oh I feel bad for you😂

[@roki4239]

I love C2 ZF ❤❤

[@DanielsUKT]

Very good but unfortunately limited to 50mph/80kmh

[@daveb0789]

For safety as no seatbelts probably. Got there in 26 seconds approx.

[@DanielsUKT]

@@daveb0789 if there was seatbealts and no limiter these could do like 100 to 110kmh at full speed (around 60 to 68mph)

[@eliorchervin]

looking good very nice

[@user-kc3uh2bs4q]

У нас раньше были такие, вспоминаем, жалеем. Ничего подобного больше нет. Теперь не можем приобрести, пыня кабаев всё запретил.

[@RDL1984]

Les 100 kmh, au cas de modifier electroniquement la vitesse maximale autolimitée, s'obtiennent aux 1815 tr/min en 6ème. C'est un peu bizarre qu'au moment d'arriver aux 80 kmh l'autobus ne change pas de 5ème à 6ème, même si l'accélérateur est cloué...

[@enviro_400_life]

Il est bloqué en mode kickdown (sport régime moteur)

Very nice :) MB C2s FTW :3
