The new driver’s workplace

The VIP place: comfortable, functional and well thought-out

Driver’s workplace
12-inch Driver’s Display
Multifunction Steering Wheel

Loving your job has never been so easy

There are two configurable variants for the driver’s workplace: the classic one from the MAN Lion’s Intercity and MAN’s own fully VDV-compliant driver’s workplace of the new MAN Lion’s City Generation. With the latter, the lower part can be adjusted together with the steering wheel according to the driver’s wishes. In both variants, the slightly elevated seating position ensures that the driver meets the passenger at eye level and offers excellent all-round visibility.

Instruments, switches and displays at the VDV driver’s workplace are arranged in three zones according to the frequency of use. Thus, the driver’s workplace convinces with high functionality and aesthetics – for the benefit of the driver.

Focused driving pleasure with the 12-inch driver’s display

One glance is enough: the fully digital and high-resolution 12-inch driver’s display enables drivers to capture all relevant information effortlessly and in the shortest possible time – thus being able to react quickly. This prevents visual overstimulation and fatigue, which helps to improve driving safety.

The colour display uses clear elements and modern 3D views to provide information on vehicle and engine speed, navigation, media and assistance system messages while displaying warnings and notices. Thanks to smart details, such as the semi-circular scaling of speedometer and rev counter with indicators moving in opposite direction, there is much more space available in the centre of the display for additional information compared to using complete dial instruments with indicators moving in the same direction.

Practical: Depending on preference, the display can be called up intuitively and conveniently via the multifunction steering wheel or the left drop arm (without multifunction steering wheel) and set individually: either in the full screen view for displaying important information such as the bus stop display in large view – or in the home screen view with central main display and alternating displays at the side.

Ergonomic, haptic, comfortable: the multifunction steering wheel

Full control in both hands: With the optional multifunction steering wheel, bus drivers can quickly access all important functions while concentrating on the road traffic – and keeping their hands on the wheel. The steering wheel fits perfectly in the hand and is easy and comfortable to operate. Its multifunction buttons are ergonomically arranged on two separate control isles. A variety of adjustment positions allow the driver’s workplace to be adapted according to the driver’s height and physique.

The closed version is also available with service sets for light, air and service call. The comfortable seats of the “MAN Intercity Basic” type are available both without and with two- or three-point belts. The modern lighting concept with direct, continuous lighting with warm white LEDs makes the interior particularly inviting.

Six passengers sit and stand inside the MAN Lion’s Intercity LE. One passenger has a bicycle with them on the bus.

Seating, handrails, lighting

The optional “MAN City Comfort” equipment variant is also available with a lap belt. Like the handrails, the seats are attached to the side walls wherever possible. This enables easy floor cleaning.
