Daimler Buses has introduced the near-production prototype of the Mercedes eIntouro, an electric intercity bus powered by LFP batteries and a central motor. This marks a significant advancement in electric mobility for interurban routes, school buses, and short trips. The eIntouro offers two length variants and a capacity of up to 63 seats, with a choice of one or two battery packs totaling 414 kWh. In addition to the eIntouro, Daimler Buses presented the new NMC4 battery generation by BMZ for the Mercedes eCitaro range. The NMC4 batteries boast a 6% higher energy density than the previous NMC3, allowing for longer ranges and a longer service life. Moreover, the eCitaro fuel cell model will now operate in three modes, including the 'H2 mode' for exclusive hydrogen usage. The NMC4 battery emphasizes safety features such as thermal monitoring and alarms for overheating. It also offers increased mileage and a service life guarantee of eight years, extendable to twelve years. The compatibility of NMC generations enables retrofitting without vehicle modifications. Overall, these advancements showcase Daimler Buses' commitment to innovation in electric bus technology and sustainable public transport.
