The Citaro FuelCELL Bus have accumulated about 135,000 hours of operation and have gone over 1.2 million miles across Europe with no problems at all.  Daimler is actually working on building a brand new fleet of these beautiful buses and they have won an award for their awesome work on the Citaro FuelCELL Bus.

Basically, the new buses will be the same, however the rear wheels are going to be driven by hub motors with a lithium ion battery.
