Bus type: VDL Citea LLE 120
Bus No.: 7845
Year built: 2018

After testing two lightweight buses from the Dutch manufacturer VDL (Ambassador 200) in 2010, the Rheinbahn was very pleased with the results (fuel-saving effect and reliability) and in 2013 a total of 60 lightweight buses type Citea LLE 120 were put into service.
These are vehicles with low entry, the rear part is reached by stage (Low Entry), which simplifies the maintenance in the workshops.
Because of their special construction, these vehicles weigh (stainless steel frame, fiberglass, plastic components, smaller wheels) only 8.9 tons and are thus almost 3 tonnes lighter than a conventional solo bus.
These characteristics save about 20 percent of fuel, which does not achieve even the hybrid buses, whose acquisition costs are much higher. The streets are relieved by the low weight.
In 2017 another 80 buses of type VDL Citea LLE 120 were ordered (7801-7880). The first 42 buses entered service in summer 2017.
The equipment includes an improved air-conditioning system, seat covers made of artificial leather, as well as USB connections. In addition, buses fulfill the Euro 6 emissions standard.
With the Citea LLE 120 built in 2017, a new color concept was introduced in the interior, which will also be used in the later acquired trams and buses.
The seat covers are light gray, the bars are anthracite and the back of the cab is red.
In autumn 2018 another 11 Citea LLE 120 buses were ordered.
