Mercedes-Benz Cito O520 – AgoProjects Hybrid Midibus Mod

Highlights and Features

• Drive the AgoProjects-refreshed Mercedes-Benz Cito O520 with rebuilt textures across the body, interior, and underside
• Hear the refined diesel-generator audio profile that better captures the Cito's signature constant-RPM acoustic character
• Operate the compact 9.6m hybrid midibus on tight European urban routes where a 12m bus is oversized
• Experience the gearbox-free serial-hybrid drivetrain that distinguished the real Cito from every contemporary city bus
• Compare driving feel directly against the original Cito mod to evaluate the AgoProjects rework over the baseline release
• Benefit from texture optimization (124MB to 55MB) so the refresh runs stable on Android Proton Bus Simulator builds

About the Real Mercedes-Benz Cito O520

The Mercedes-Benz Cito O520 is a low-floor midibus produced by Mercedes-Benz subsidiary EvoBus at the Mannheim plant in Germany from 1998 to 2003. It pioneered serial diesel-electric hybrid drive for European city buses — a small constant-speed diesel engine powered a generator that fed electric motors at the rear wheels, eliminating the conventional gearbox and producing the constant-RPM acoustic signature that defined the Cito's character. Sold in 8.0m, 9.6m and 10.6m variants with around 700 units built, the Cito was discontinued when Mercedes-Benz shifted the small-bus role to the conventional-drive Citaro K.
