Trier's public utilities company is modernising its fleet of city buses

  • Contract signed for 90 vehicles
  • Citaro is predominant vehicle among Trier's public transport
  • Complete renewal of the fleet within seven years

Trier / Stuttgart – On 18 September, Steffen Maiwald (Member of the Board of Management at Stadtwerke Trier), Michael Schröder (Managing Director of SWT Stadtwerke Trier Verkehrs-GmbH), Rüdiger Kappel (Head of Fleet Sales at #Daimler Buses Deutschland), and Christian Fambach (Plant Representative for Public Transport at #Daimler Buses) jointly signed an order to supply 90 Mercedes-Benz #Citaro city buses. Within the next seven years, this will see Trier's public transport company completely renew its fleet. The first part of the order for four #Citaro articulated buses will already be delivered in the course of this year.

With regard to a changeover to electrically-powered public transport, SWT has also ensured that they will be able to opt for the #eCitaro, too. The contract gives the transport company the option of having ten percent of the ordered quantity of vehicles equipped with a fully electric drive. This would allow the oldest town in Germany to be served by an electrically driven vehicle, particularly in the sensitive city areas.
