This launch represents around 36\u202fpercent of those. In June 2020 HEAG mobilo began its electromobility campaign with five eCitaro. Once all the diesel buses have been replaced by their electrically driven counterparts, the transport company has calculated that it will save approximately 2.5 million litres of diesel fuel annually and thus avoid around 6,600 tonnes of CO2.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/21C0450_03.jpg\" alt=\"ecitaro heag mobilo darmstadt\" class=\"wp-image-15555\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Safety on top on the eCitaro for Darmstadt<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The battery technology of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sustainable-bus.com\/electric-bus\/24-mercedes-e-buses-darmstadt-heag-mobilo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">24 eCitaro \u2013 eleven solo and 13 articulated buses \u2013 ordered in October 2020<\/a> is based on the second-generation nickel manganese cobalt cells (NMC).

The driver cockpit also provides preventive protection: a driver&#8217;s cab with a large pane of safety glass protects the driver from viral infections and violence. The air in the bus is kept clean using <strong>active filters with an anti-viral function<\/strong>. Video monitoring is another safety system on-board.
