Electric bus fleets and their advantages for the city.
Large or small – there is a bus for every street
With three size variants, MAN’s city buses cover almost every requirement: In the 10-metre version, the MAN Lion’s City E manages even narrow and winding roads thanks to its small turning circle, while the 18-metre models offer more space for passengers on highly frequented routes, and the 12-metre bus can be used versatilely in a wide range of traffic situations. Whatever the requirements, the MAN Lion’s City E family of city buses is ready for you.
Depending on the area of use, the public transport network and other factors, the requirements for battery usage vary.
Consistently reliable ranges of up to 270 km1) are available with the “Reliable Range” battery usage strategy: With a limited charging stroke, sufficient reserves remain available to ensure the same high range over the entire service life.
If a higher daily range of up to 350 km1) is requested, the “Maximum Range” battery usage strategy is ideal. The extended charging window provides more energy per charge so that the daily range can be increased depending on the situation. This pays off especially for longer distances, extreme temperatures or diversion routes.
As flexible as your operating range – The MAN Lion’s City E battery modules
MAN’s modular battery concept offers you the option of flexibly adapting the number of battery packs to your individual needs. You can specifically control the charging time, the number of passengers and the range according to your wishes by opting for more or fewer battery packs: For each additional battery pack, the electric bus gains range – for each pack removed, passenger capacity increases and the charging time shortens.
Whatever you decide: All battery packs can be fully charged in two and a half to five hours.
Depending on the length of your MAN electric bus, a different number of battery packs is available:
- MAN Lion’s City 10 E: four to five battery packs with a capacity of 320 to 400 kWh
- MAN Lion’s City 12 E: four to six battery packs with a capacity of 320 to 480 kWh
- MAN Lion’s City 18 E: six to eight battery packs with a capacity of 480 to 640 kWh
Climate protection with CO2
A carbon dioxide-based air-conditioning system is optionally available for the MAN Lion’s City E. This new air-conditioning system has several advantages: Climate-neutral carbon dioxide is cheaper than the conventional refrigerant R134a – while protecting the environment. In addition, a CO2 air-conditioning system requires less energy and is therefore more efficient, which can positively influence the range of your electric bus.

Know-how at your fingertips: our consulting service
We provide easy access to alternative drives.
Every fleet is unique. We have worked with various clients and gained valuable experience. With this knowledge and the analyses of route profiles, charging infrastructure and maintenance, we create a fleet profile that lets your city move forward into the future.
Creating space sustainably
New drive technologies enable additional room for passengers.
With alternative drives, things are moving up: Our batteries are installed on the roof. This frees up space that would otherwise be taken up by the engine tower. Also, our gas cylinders are intelligently housed in the roof. This means more capacity for you and greater comfort for your passengers.
