Preface
The Mannheim location stands for the development and production of city buses and thus
makes a significant contribution to environmentally friendly urban mobility concepts.
The eCitaro – powered purely by battery electricity – and thus a locally emission-free vehicle,
has been produced exclusively in Mannheim since 2019. The proven diesel-powered Citaro as
well as hybrid and gas buses are also produced at the site.
The realignment of production in Mannheim with the aim of increasing efficiency and optimizing
processes is in full swing. At the same time, the Group’s ambitious sustainability targets are
being taken into account and their implementation is being driven forward.
The environmental management system has a long tradition at the location though. Since 1997,
annual external validation has been taking place – especially of the Environmental Statement
in accordance with the European directive EMAS. In the EMAS register, EvoBus Mannheim can
be found with the registration number DE-153-00022. The registration certificate is updated
by the Chamber of industry and Commerce every three years. This took place most recently
in 2018. This is done by submitting the Environmental Statement, including the topics of en-
vironmental policy and environmental impacts. The Environmental Statement is updated in the
intervening years but only for updated topics. More environmentally relevant topics like our
environmental policy can be found in the environmental statement 2018. The certification of
the international environmental management.
Standard ISO 14001 has been integrated into the matrix certification of our production loca-
tions since 2015.

terms of CO₂ emissions when using the EU-28 electricity mix. When
using electricity from hydropower, an 86 % reduction in CO₂ emissions
demonstrates the full potential of the eCitaro in terms of climate pro-

locally acting NOX emissions, the eCitaro is up to 84 % better than the
Citaro Diesel over its entire life cycle.
