Denmark, Norway and Sweden are taking a pioneering role in the electrification of passenger transport. Fully electric MAN Lion’s City E city buses already in service in Copenhagen, Malmö, Gothenborg and Uppsala.

In Denmark, Norway and Sweden, MAN Truck & Bus has a service network of 80 locations, 15 of which are its own operations.

While some other European countries are still in the starting blocks, electric mobility has already fully arrived in Scandinavia. This is reflected in our order books: By the end of 2023, more than 370 electrically powered MAN city buses should be in operation here.

“Due to forward-looking political decisions, such as the introduction of a CO2-based toll in Denmark, and the openness to innovation of broad sections of the population, the Nordic countries are playing a model role in terms of e-mobility. We need this spirit throughout Europe so that the transport turnaround can succeed,” says Alexander Vlaskamp, Chairman of the Executive Board of MAN Truck & Bus SE.
