Note:
The fleet number for 6433 SC 13 was previously given as 9176. Although the above version is not confirmed
(hence the last two digits are in italics), it is considered more likely since there is a gap in the Autobus Aixois fleet
records at this point, and there are no other reports of 917x fleet numbers before around 2000.
GERMANY
Over 10,000 Citaros have been built but probably the most distinctive are the ‘Irvine’ versions, styled by Britishborn,
Milan-based designer James Irvine for Hannover to complement the city’s hosting of the ill-fated Expo 2000.
Local operator üstra Hannoversche Verkehrsbetriebe AG (the ‘üstra’ is in lower case) took 101 examples, a mix
of diesel- and CNG-powered saloons and artics, while the only other operator to order them, Leipziger
Verkehrsbetriebe GmbH, lent their 30 to Hannover for the duration of the exposition. The LVB ‘Irvines’ are O530G
articulated versions numbered 325-354 with matching L-NV 1xxx registrations.
