Vikingbus, a Danish bus company, has ordered 31 Mercedes-Benz eCitaro all-electric vehicles.
These are to be primarily operated in the municipality of Køge, a port city located south of the Danish capital Copenhagen in the east of the island of Sjӕlland.
The large battery in the buses is necessary to cover longer distances since they will not only operate on the road in Køge itself, but also in the rural areas around the municipality. The regular service also includes routes as far south as Stevn, where the vehicles will cover distances of up to 500 kilometers a day, which is much greater than the typical distances traveled by city buses.
The 31 zero-emission buses were accompanied by orders for fossil-fueled vehicles from Mercedes Benz. In addition to the order for the 31 eCitaro, Vikingbus has ordered several Mercedes-Benz Intouro buses with conventional combustion engines for use as school buses in the Jutland region, as well as ten new-generation S 517 HDH-type luxury touring coaches from Setra. Several Intouro and Setra 517 HDH vehicles are also planned to go into service in 2023.
