In 2025, Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen AG (SSB) received the first of 10 Mercedes eCitaro G buses powered by hydrogen, signaling a shift towards zero-emission public transport. This partnership with Daimler Buses aims to eliminate diesel buses by 2027 and achieve climate neutrality by 2035 across Stuttgart's bus network. The new hydrogen operating mode increases efficiency by allowing the buses to operate independently of charging infrastructure. Following a fire incident in 2021 that damaged multiple vehicles, this advance underscores SSB's commitment to sustainable mobility.
The eCitaro G fuel cell buses, now delivered to SSB, signify a major step towards Stuttgart's emission-free public transport, eliminating diesel buses by 2027.
The hydrogen-based drive mode of these buses allows for greater operating range compared to traditional electric solutions, enhancing the public transit system's efficiency.
With plans for full climate neutrality by 2035, SSB's partnership with Daimler Buses demonstrates a commitment to sustainable urban mobility solutions in Stuttgart.
The delivery of the first eCitaro G bus emphasizes the shift towards a hydrogen-powered future for public transport, showcasing technological advancements in emission-free vehicles.
