Daimler Buses said it recently delivered 99 Mercedes-Benz city buses to the Abu Dhabi Department of Transport in the UAE.
The new city buses are low-floor solo buses from the Mercedes-Benz Citaro range and have started operations in Abu Dhabi “to significantly expand and modernize the capital’s efficient and well-integrated transport system”.
The buses were manufactured at Daimler Buses’ production site in Mannheim, Germany and are equipped with the Euro VI emissions standard.
Emirates Motor Company Commercial Vehicles (EMC CV) will maintain the buses under a five-year full-service contract.
Daimler Buses first supplied Abu Dhabi with 100 units of the Mercedes-Benz Citaro in 2009. With a second major order, “the delivery underscores Daimler Buses’ strategic growth goal of opening up new markets; thereby, further expanding its global market presence,” said the manufacturer.
