VDL’s new generation Citea is a completely new, exclusively electric, public transport bus series. It is designed with inspiration from modern cityscapes, creating an understated and architectural appearance while also providing an aerodynamic design. The interior is designed with clear shapes, light colours, and materials that create an open atmosphere. These are the five important innovations: Batteries in the floor, a one-piece composite side wall, clever energy management, a sophisticated climate control system and an ergonomic driver's environment.
