#Bus

FC Bayern München is at the top of the sporting league - and Germany's most successful football club is also at the forefront when it comes to sustainable mobility: in mid-July, the team drove to Munich Airport in the MAN Lion's City E with zero emissions.

Electric buses are quiet. It’s great, but it’s also potentially dangerous because other road users can barely hear the vehicle coming. That’s why the industry has been working on an acoustic warning system.  

The 2021/22 season is over, and MAN teams have a lot to celebrate. Here is the overview.

When childhood dreams come true: MAN enabled 20 up-and-coming players to experience an unforgettable day with FC Bayern München – including training with team ambassador Claudio Pizarro.

We are on Irish soil. All together once more. Our destination for this stage is Limerick, where the “Bus Europe Test” is to be held from 9th to 12th May. 

While the MAN Lion's City E is sailing on the cargo ferry to Ireland, the team ends up on a wild party ferry. 

Everything is different today! For the first time, we are travelling beneath cloudy skies, and we need to cover not 200, not 300, but 400 kilometres and – this sounds almost alien – there’s a river that flows above the road. Don’t you believe us? Here are the highlights! 

Anyone who goes travelling has stories to tell. In case of the Lion’s City E roadtrip from Munich to Limerick, there are far too many stories to tell them all. But we’ll add a few more impressions from "behind the scenes".

“Busworld”, as the name implies, is the most important bus trade fair in the world. Next year, after an enforced break due to Covid, it will finally be back in Brussels. We’ve already been there! Today’s programme also included a whole lot of wind and water energy and the mighty citadel of Dinant. Here are the highlights!  

Mieke Glorieux is managing director of "Busworld", the world's most important bus convention. Now that the corona period is over, she is hoping for a revival of the industry.

The French say savoir vivre. We say savoir conduire. And what that really means is that we know how MAN drives. Today, we’re leaving Zürich and off to Strasbourg, including a visit to the European Parliament. Farewell Rösti, bonjour tarte flambée. Here are the highlights!  

Ismail Ertug (SPD) is a Member of the European Parliament. The transport expert wants to significantly reduce emissions from the transport sector – also in his private life: his next car will be a plug-in hybrid or a purely electric car.

Serpentines, hairpin curves and rapid climbs demand material and driver. Afterwards: fantastic views and open mouths. The ride over the Julier Pass is one of the absolute tour highlights.

We are electrified! From the beautiful route that already lies behind us and still ahead of us - and of course from our e-bus. Today we're travelling 207.9 kilometres from Innsbruck to the sophisticated winter sports mecca of St. Moritz. Here are the highlights.

Charging technology for e-buses is making great progress. Soon the electricity could even come from above. Read here how that works!

Electromobility is booming like never before. It is considered the drive technology of the future - and it already has quite a long history. In our journey through time, we present some highlights.

The MAN Bus team has fitted out a NEOPLAN Skyliner with plenty of extras. Two ice hockey teams were the first to enjoy the new features.

Intelligent lighting, low energy consumption and a long service life: those are our customers’ three wishes for a modern goods vehicle lighting system - especially in autumn and winter, when fog, rain and early sunsets reduce visibility significantly. MAN relies on LED technology in its vehicles, ensuring maximum safety at the darkest time of year.

The MAN Lion's City 12 E is now in operation on Pellworm in the UNESCO World Heritage Site with zero local emissions. The island's population was one of those who opted for the electric bus from MAN.

It is the culmination of 50 years of Cityliner tradition: The NEOPLAN Cityliner in the platinum special edition is Coach of the Year 2022! This is how the tradition-steeped model made it to first place.

We have a reason to celebrate: The platinum special model of the NEOPLAN Cityliner is "Coach of the Year 2022". This is the eleventh time the award has gone to MAN. Discover more information on all winners.

The new MAN Lion's Intercity LE cuts just as good a figure in city traffic as it does on cross-country trips.

This engineering, design and launch management team is behind the MAN Lion's Intercity LE. Learn more.

It has been a coach classic for 50 years and can be recognised from afar by its sharp-cut design. The NEOPLAN Cityliner turns 50.

The market for electric buses is growing, but most buses in public transport still run on diesel. There is a lot of potential for climate protection.

Every year, cyclists and pedestrians are injured in collisions with trucks or buses. To better protect children in particular, MAN employees not only conduct "blind spot training" at schools. MAN has also developed smart assistance systems that prevent accidents.

Ace up your sleeve: 3D printing opens up entirely new possibilities for the commercial vehicle industry. MAN is already benefiting from the new technology and using it for selected components. A visit with the experts.

As the official bus partner of the DFB, MAN is launching very special buses in the German cities of Hamburg, Cologne and Munich: modern city buses in the design of the DFB-MANschaftsbus!

The Lion's City E proved its range strength during the MAN Efficiency Run. The electric bus travelled over 500 km under real conditions.

A visit to the Bayern Munich team bus: Lothar Matthäus and Klaus Augenthaler experience the MAN Lion's Coach. 

Julian Nagelsmann, the head coach of RB Leipzig, is known for giving everything on the sidelines. And not only there! We were there live when the football coach spontaneously got behind the wheel of the MAN Lion's Coach L himself to test the Red Bulls' brand new team bus. Will he be able to keep his nerves when driving the 510 hp giant?

A strong sports team needs a strong team bus: MAN is a long-standing companion of the top clubs.  Find out more about the team buses!

After an exciting final last night, the 2020 Champions League winner has been determined: FC Bayern Munich won with 1:0 against Paris Saint-Germain. As a long-standing sponsoring partner, MAN congratulates the FCB warmly.

The health of passengers and drivers has top priority when operating buses. In an interview, Heinz Kiess, Head of Bus Product Marketing, explains what bus operators should pay particular attention to.

With clear features, the MAN designers have ensured that the MAN Lion’s City E differs clearly from the conventional city bus. Stephan Schönherr explains what defines the design of the electric bus.

How can a city convert to e-buses? Head of MAN Transport Solutions Stefan Sahlmann in an interview about the challenges of the mobility industry.

On the 50-year anniversary of the electric bus, MAN is releasing its Lion's City E onto the streets as an e-bus ready for series production, thus once again offering e-mobility the chance for a breakthrough.

Climate protection is a human duty. 197 states have agreed to keep global warming below two degrees Celsius. The distribution industry and public transport are among the forerunners. Only with zero-emission commercial vehicles can they meet the requirements. This is a clear argument in favour of e-mobility.

Connectivity gives you wings? At least it's never been easier to streamline fleet management for trucks and buses. And to save money at the same time. Discover how the scenario could develop by 2030. 

Anyone wanting to avoid costly mistakes when converting to electric mobility has to plan with a long-term perspective. MAN Transport Solutions can help with this.

The new MAN Lion’s City E is now also at home on the streets of the world's largest model railway facility.

They appear friendly, aggressive or reliable and show character – the headlights are regarded as the eyes of a vehicle. It's not surprising that our designers give them so much attention. What was important to them when it came to the design.

Hamburg is showing the way and is once again one of the German pioneers in mobility of the future. Find out here how MAN is helping the Hanseatic city to make public transport even more sustainable.

5 days, 9 electric buses and critical experts: A report on the unique e-bus test with the new MAN Lion's City 12E.

Many cities in Europe are extending their vehicle fleet and the associated infrastructure. Buses from MAN make a significant contribution to this and provide a wide range of different drives. Bus travel is therefore especially eco-friendly and efficient in these cities.

Congratulations to the „Coach of the Year 2020“

Fast, flexible, inexpensive – and  especially safe for passengers: Bus rapid transit (BRT) systems are the ideal solution for large cities, claims transportation researcher Professor Andreas Knie. What's behind all this?

Bus stops are not very spectacular-looking, do you agree? These bus stops in the former Soviet Union are different. Canadian photographer Christopher Herwig came across them on a trip and used them for his book "Soviet Bus Stops". 

But MAN Customer Service provides reliable global quality to ensure that a vehicle is never stranded anywhere in the world. 

Paris is converting to clean transport. So transport operator RATP also relies on modern buses: they are reliable, environmentally friendly and cost-effective. A report from the city on the Seine.

16,000 kilometres, 86 people, two NEOPLAN Tourliners, one mission: the Bolshoi Orchestra presents music by blockbuster film composer Hans Zimmer on stages throughout Europe. The most comfortable way for the musicians to travel: their coaches. 

Paris is a role model for clean urban transport. Steffen de Rudder, a professor in urban studies, explains the basis for this success – it has to do with buses.

Christian Hochfellner is the bus driver for the DFB TEAM. He talked to us about his day-to-day work, the MAN Lion’s Coach, the seating arrangement and his most beautiful ride with the team.
