Most likely after 2014, SBST might get a few hundred of the EURO VI Citaro C2 to replace the Volvo B10M DMs and Striders.

Euro V is already very clean engines. And I believe the Euro VI are more expensive than Euro V. So its not worthwhile buying at the moment; just like computers and electronic goods. Anyway the current authorities requirements is only Euro IV.

Not just about the cost of buying but the cost of adopting and maintaining as well.

And the limited resources and expertises with such a new technology.

But I am pretty sure the next batch of Citaro C2s that SBST is buying might be EURO VI, that is if they buy and it's got to be at least 5 years later.

It is just a speculation since SBST is getting Mercedes Benz buses now.

Maybe doesn't mean confirm.
