Companies seem to care more about the environment. Following the rising trend of hybrid vehicles, the German car manufacturer, Mercedes, announced the new Citaro G Blue Tec Hybrid. The new model will be more environmental-friendly and brings improvement to fuel efficiency, thus reducing the energy consumption up to 30 percent. Coming after the great success of the Citaro series, the new model promises to bring hybrid technology to a whole new level, never before seen in the European arena.
The new bus, measuring 18 meters in length, is powered by a large 19.4 kWh lithium-ion battery mounted on the roof which can generate totally up to 320KW. The highly acclaimed hybrid (Winner of the DERKA Environment Award) is expected to be seen in European cities in the early months of 2010, when deliveries start.
