MAN has already delivered 800 hybrid buses since 2010. Now the success story continues: The new city bus generation with MAN EfficientHybrid significantly reduces fuel consumption and emissions. …

On May 25, 2010, the Munich transport company put the first MAN hybrid bus into service. Nine years later, the clean and efficient buses are on the road throughout Europe: MAN hybrids operate in Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna, Warsaw, Dresden, Nuremberg, Paris, Milan, Wolfsburg and Lübeck. Since 2010, MAN has sold a total of around 800 MAN Lion's City Hybrid vehicles to customers in ten countries and has gained a great deal of experience with the hybrid drive. France, Spain, Poland, Germany and Sweden lead the sales statistics and together account for over 95 percent of the volume. Customers in the French market have invested in almost 300 MAN hybrid buses and operators from Spain in almost 200 vehicles. From January 2018 to April 2019, the company sold 194 MAN Lion's City Hybrid buses.

'The hybrid bus is in vogue. It is the first step towards emission-free transport,' says Rudi Kuchta, Head of Product & Sales Bus and spokesman for the Bus Division at MAN Truck & Bus. 'More and more cities are reacting to the current challenges of urban mobility and converting their public transport systems. Transport companies want to reduce the emissions and fuel consumption of their growing fleets. Following the successful Lion's City Hybrid model, the new MAN city bus generation with state-of-the-art diesel and gas engines and MAN EfficientHybrid, offers the right solution.
