Merc Citaro in Flames

[Lrd]

Last night, Bluestar lost a member of its fleet. It was apparently being tested by an engineer after having some work done on it. It was only five years old. Bluestar technicians are working with the manufacturer to find a cause.

Here is an article from the Daily Echo (although a bit over the top).

Not half as dopey as some of the comments. Related to the three or four Bendies that went up in London, I wonder?

Different engine, Rigid Citaros use the 6 cyl Atego* engine, while the G artic version uses the Axor engine

*Mercedes have since rebadged the heavier Ategos as Axors

Citaros do have a habit of going up in smoke. Arriva in Manchester lost one, and First lost several I believe.
