Preface
The Mannheim location stands for the development and production of city buses and thus makes a significant contribution to environmentally friendly urban mobility concepts.
The eCitaro – powered purely by battery electricity – and thus a locally emission-free vehicle, has been produced exclusively in Mannheim since 2019. The proven diesel-powered Citaro as well as hybrid and gas buses are also produced at the site.
The realignment of production in Mannheim with the aim of increasing efficiency and optimizing processes is in full swing. At the same time, the Group’s ambitious sustainability targets are being taken into account and their implementation is being driven forward.
The environmental management system has a long tradition at the location though. Since 1997, annual external validation has been taking place – especially of the Environmental Statement in accordance with the European directive EMAS. In the EMAS register, EvoBus Mannheim can be found with the registration number DE-153-00022. The registration certificate is updated by the Chamber of industry and Commerce every three years. This took place most recently in 2018. This is done by submitting the Environmental Statement, including the topics of en- vironmental policy and environmental impacts. The Environmental Statement is updated in the intervening years but only for updated topics. More environmentally relevant topics like our environmental policy can be found in the environmental statement 2018. The certification of the international environmental management.
Standard ISO 14001 has been integrated into the matrix certification of our production loca- tions since 2015.

They were then transported back to Mannheim for assembly. Since this is a high logistical effort, the company switched to the so-called offline painting process.

The use of a natural refrigerant is, among other things, a prerequisite The main benefit of battery-powered buses lies in their low-noise and for the “Blue Angel” environmental seal, with which the eCitaro has locally emission-free operation. In addition to these environmental been awarded. benefits, the eCitaro is already 38 % below diesel bus emissions in terms of CO₂ emissions when using the EU-28 electricity mix. When using electricity from hydropower, an 86 % reduction in CO₂ emissions demonstrates the full potential of the eCitaro in terms of climate pro- tection, resource conservation and energy efficiency. In the case of locally acting NOX emissions, the eCitaro is up to 84 % better than the Citaro Diesel over its entire life cycle. Updated Environmental Statement 2020 9
Eco label “Blauer Engel”
The eCitaro has also been awarded the eco-label “Blauer Engel”. The In order to receive the award, certain requirements must be fulfilled, eco-label underlines the environmental friendliness of the eCitaro and such as a limited amount of heavy metals in batteries or a minimum the associated locally emission-free public transport. It is the first and battery life of 200,000 kilometres. The eCitaro fulfills these requi- so far only fully electric city bus that is allowed to carry the eco-label. rements and thus stands for environmental friendliness in public transport. The eco-label is proof of success in the commitment to sustainable public transport in cities and urban areas. The eCitaro contributes to air pollution control and the resulting improved quality of life in cities. 10 Updated Environmental Statement 2020

Environmental aspects
In order to influence the environmental effects of our production at The product aspects during the utilisation phase by the customer were the plant, we must first make these effects visible. For this purpose, reassessed by the development department in 2020 in coordination the ISO 14001 and EMAS standards require an assessment of all with environmental protection. The other environmental aspects have aspects related to the environment. For the German locations of the been slightly adjusted based on the key figures. Daimler Group, a tool for evaluation according to the ecological me- thod is available, which EvoBus Mannheim also uses.
This tool allows the annual comparison of the development of environ- mental pollution and the environmental performance of the location, as well as the generation of action requirements for the target process. High priority fields of action result from the environmental relevance in connection with the potential for action.

We are expected to present the core indicators of our energy and The comparative development of the plant‘s environmental performance materials efficiency, water consumption, waste generation, land can be represented by means of the specific key figures and the core consumption in relation to biological diversity, and emissions and indicators we have used. Because of the unique nature of the activities to indicate the relationship between these core indicators and the at the location, no cross comparisons or sector comparisons are possible. plant’s overall output or value creation. The core indicators are represented in a table on the following pages.
