MAN’s CO2 air-conditioning system.

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: Carbon dioxide is cheaper than the conventional refrigerant R134a while also being better for 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.
