THE MAN LION’S CITY E SETS A NEW BENCHMARK IN TERMS OF RANGE

With our electric bus, fleet managers can plan for a range of up to 350 kilometres – which significantly increases the MAN Lion’s City E’s operational flexibility. The decisive factor here is to select between two different battery usage strategies: For a consistently reliable range of 270 km, the “Reliable Range” battery usage strategy is available. The MAN Lion’s City E covers the further distance of up to 350 km with the “Maximum Range” strategy.

Precise fit for almost every driving situation

The MAN Lion’s City E is more than enduring – it is also flexible. Our electric bus is available in three sizes to meet a wide range of operational requirements: the smallest variant – 10 metres in length – benefits from a tight turning circle for curvy routes, while the 12-metre version impresses with an ideal balance of ride comfort and agility. Our 18-metre electric bus, in turn, offers space for even more passengers – important on highly frequented routes. Of course, every model is optionally available with the innovative MAN OptiView mirror replacement system and many other selectable assistance systems – that means greater safety for driver, passengers and other road users.
