Your average Streetlite or Versa is incredibly cheap compared to what the Citaro K is (or so I've been told, anyway).
I cannot deny that the Citaro K may be in-line to be demonstrated this year just to see what the Euro 6 technology is like from Mercedes, but I don't see any being ordered.
According to this Article it is set to Cost 12k-15k more than the Standard Euro 5 Citaro, with a Euro 6 Standard Length Version (Length of GNE's Current Examples) to follow at a Later Date - There is also some Interesting Information on Fuel Economy also compared to it's Predecessors. So really it could Potentially be a Money Saver in the Long Run GNE, Despite being more Expensive
