REDEFINING THE MEANING OF ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY: THE NEW MAN LION’S CITY

INTELLIGENT ENERGY MANAGEMENT AND REDUCED LIFE CYCLE COSTING (LCC)

Economic perfection - thanks to the new MAN Lion’s City. The completely new MAN Lion’s City bus comes in a fresh design which not only gives it an attractive appearance but is also state-of-the-art in terms of economy, engine technology, driver’s workplace and safety. Everything has been carefully rethought and fits together with perfection. This means that it is precisely tailored to the requirements of modern local public transport services and makes modern urban living even more enjoyable.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS FOR ECONOMIC PERFECTION

New bodyshell construction with many benefits.

Thanks to its sandwich construction, the new MAN Lion’s City is almost 500 kg lighter than its predecessor. Its optimised accessibility makes maintenance work even easier.

A reduction in weight that pays off twice.

The reduction in weight reduces fuel consumption and allows for an increase in payload. The easy handling also reduces maintenance downtimes.

New D15 engine generation.

The new D15 engine is lighter thanks to its well-balanced design and is even more efficient than its predecessor due to the start-stop system with MAN EfficientHybrid energy management system.

More efficient consumption.

This means reduced fuel consumption and reduced weight, which allows for an increase in passenger capacity.

The new design opens up new possibilities.

The optically divided side walls with glass and plastic surfaces give the new MAN Lion’s City a spacious and modern appearance and are easy to maintain. The three different segments are divided into driver’s windows, passenger windows and side walls with glass and plastic surfaces.

Low TCO - thanks to easy maintenance.

The plug-in system means that the side walls can be quickly replaced in the event of damage. Smaller segments minimise the cost for re-painting as well as downtimes in the workshop, with the added benefit of high spare parts availability. This not only saves you time but also reduces the overall Life Cycle Costing (LCC).

Cutting-edge light technology.

The full LED front and rear lights have the characteristic MAN design, significantly increase safety in road traffic and reduce operating costs.

Brighter and safer illumination.

Reduced energy consumption means saving fuel. By comparison: The high and low beam settings of the two LED headlights require a total of approximately 120 watts - that’s 2.5 times less than halogen headlights, which use around 300 watts. In addition, they generate a substantially larger illuminated area than that of standard light bulbs and thereby increase safety. The above-average service life of up to 10,000 operating hours also helps to reduce costs.

Newly developed door system.

The newly developed door system provides high operational safety and increases the level of quality. The door systems are available with a range of drive options and opening mechanisms.

Safe operation and low maintenance.

Thanks to the robust, extensive and wear- and maintenance-free components, the new door system is extremely safe to operate and requires minimum overall maintenance. Built with robust components, the doors are highly resilient to vandalism. This reduces Life Cycle Costing (LCC).

High-quality corrosion protection.

The floor in the passenger area has no visible weld seams. The welding on the underside of the floor reduces the ingress of moisture and protects the floor against corrosion. The smooth and easy-to-clean floor surface of the new MAN Lion’s City creates a high-quality appearance.

Thanks to invisible weld seams.

The floor is welded on the underside, in the corridor area, using cold welding processes. This makes awkward corners which are difficult to access a thing of the past and cleaning the floor is more efficient and cost effective.

DRIVE SYSTEM OF THE NEW MAN LION’S CITY

The new MAN Lion’s City is equipped with the new D15 engine. It has an impressively clear and simple concept: one engine version and one exhaust gas aftertreatment system for all city buses.

 

Wide range of gearbox options

The new MAN Lion’s City is available with a choice of two automatic gearboxes, from Voith or ZF.

 

  • The Voith DIWA 6 is a 4-speed automatic gearbox with a weight of 367 – 388 kg.
  • The ZF EcoLife Step 3 automatic gearbox has 6 speeds and weighs 379 kg. However you decide, you can rest assured that there are no compromises when it comes to the drive system of the new MAN Lion’s City.
Efficient start-stop operation

The new MAN Lion’s City is optionally available with MAN EfficientHybrid, an intelligent energy management system. The main component is a robust and wear-free electric motor which is installed between the engine and the gearbox. During coasting or braking operation, the crankcase starter-alternator functions as a generator (dynamo) and conversely as a starter motor as well. This means you save more fuel and drivers and passengers travel in greater comfort.

Less weight - thanks to special construction

The sandwich construction reduces and optimises the mass of the new MAN Lion’s City bus. Thanks to the aluminium roof module as well as the frame and skeleton constructed of highly durable steel and aluminium, it was possible to reduce the weight by almost 500 kg.

 

For you, this weight reduction means fuel savings and increased payload. The simple handling of the modules also reduces maintenance downtime.

Perfect efficiency

The new MAN Lion’s City is the most efficient city bus generation from MAN. This is not simply due to the numerous technical innovations, like the D15 engine with MAN EfficientHybrid or the more economical full LED headlights.

 

The enhanced styling with modern materials and easy-to-repair components also contribute to the increase in efficiency and the subsequent reduction in consumption of the new MAN Lion’s City.
