The Mercedes Citaro is an articulated bus with two separate but closely spaced bodies. It is the flagship model in Mercedes-Benz's city bus product line, and has also been offered as a high floor midibus. It has one of the best reliability records in the industry. The latest generation includes low-floor variants, called C2 and C2 OMSI 2 Crackl; making it accessible for elderly people and persons with disabilities. The New York City Transit Authority uses this variant in their fleet along with other transit agencies worldwide (such as SEPTA). The standard version without disabled access is still in widespread use by various operators around Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and North America. It is made in two lengths; the original 12 meter (40 ft) version, and the slightly shorter articulated 10.6 meters (35 ft) Citaro G, which was introduced in 2004. The C2 was initially available only in its longer variant, but in 2010 Mercedes began producing a low-floor version. The CityBus series was launched by Mercedes-Benz in 1997 when it introduced the smaller Citaro to replace its previous model, the O305, manufactured since 1974. Both buses were designed with a common appearance to allow for easy cross-selling. In 1998, Mercedes-Benz brought the 13 meter (43 feet) Citaro G to the market, replacing its smaller predecessor from 1975. In 2001, a dedicated articulated version of the 12 meter (40 ft) Citaro was launched alongside the new 10.6 meter (35 ft). As part of the project Mercedes-Benz created a bus body and chassis for exclusive use in Germany and New York City in collaboration with DaimlerChrysler AG and with Vossloh Kiepe. In 2004 Mercedes introduced a new variant of its CityBus family. This new model, the Citaro G had a reduced number of parts, a new front and a redesigned rear. The new model was gradually introduced into all markets. In 2005 Mercedes revised the front of the Citaro again, while offering a low floor variant for the first time in 2006 under the name C2. In 2007 Mercedes launched a C2 OMSI 2 Crackl with off-bus fare collection system and an on-board area for wheelchairs or strollers. In 2008 it followed by ceasing production of its smaller bus models O303 and O405NH. The CityBus series is available in two lengths; 12 meters (40 ft) and 10.6 meters (35 ft). Although it is one of the few models in the industry to use articulated buses, there are no plans to offer them in North America. The longest distance that an articulated vehicle can be driven without requiring a rest is approximately 1,300 kilometers (810 mi). This would be enough for a daily bus ride along the east coast of North America. However, this would only take 1.5 hours to complete since Mercedes uses fuel-efficient diesel engines capable of operating on both heavy and light grades of diesel fuel. The Citaro was known for several years as the "Mercedes O303". The O means "one step ahead" or "top" in German . eccc085e13
