"The 13.9-meter high-decker, model S 517 HD, combines two hydrogen tanks with a total capacity of 46 kilograms and a fuel cell module capable of as many as 300 kW, developed within Daimler - Volvo joint-venture cellcentric, launched in 2021. Stated range? 800 km at least. The electric motor provides a continuous output of 320 kW and a maximum output of 400 kW, with torque of 1,368 Nm and 2,470 Nm, respectively."
"As widely known, Daimler Buses is pursuing a dual e-mobility strategy. The Mercedes eCitaro battery-electric city bus has been in series production since 2018, with a hydrogen fuel cell range-extender option available since 2023. The Mercedes eIntouro battery-electric intercity bus will enter production from 2026 and will debut at Busworld Europe in Brussels, with orders open since the first quarter of 2025. Fuel-cell coaches are said to be the next step in the company's roadmap."
Daimler Buses has started test drives of the Setra S 517 HD high-decker H2 Coach equipped with a hydrogen fuel cell drive. The 13.9-meter coach combines two hydrogen tanks totaling 46 kilograms with a fuel cell module of up to 300 kW developed by the Daimler - Volvo joint venture cellcentric (launched 2021), offering a stated range of at least 800 km. The electric motor delivers 320 kW continuous and 400 kW peak, with torque of 1,368 Nm and 2,470 Nm. An integrated battery pack stores energy to optimize fuel cell efficiency and provide situational power support. The vehicle has a permissible gross vehicle weight of 24.7 tons and is approved as a test vehicle under TÜV Section 19.6, allowing drives on internal and public roads. Daimler Buses pursues a dual e-mobility strategy alongside battery-electric city and intercity models, and positions fuel-cell coaches as the next roadmap step amid competing offerings such as MAN's Lion's Coach E and Irizar's i6 Efficient Hydrogen.
