A total of around 15 buses were in full fire at the time of notification of the fire brigade, and ultimately 25 buses were destroyed
The investigating LKA are currently assuming that a technical defect during the charging process of an electric bus could have triggered the fire

Solid-state batteries are characterized by a high energy density and a particularly long service life, explains Daimler
They are optionally available for the eCitaro

Chemically, they are lithium polymer batteries
Since the usually liquid electrolyte here is in a solid form, they are referred to as solid-state batteries
The eCitaro G has a total capacity of 441 kWh

However, solid-state batteries are only suitable for rapid charging to a very limited extent, notes Daimler
