Tyrolean bus company Ledermair, in Austria, ordered 27 MAN Lion’s City E buses, including 19 solo buses with a length of twelve meters and eight articulated buses with a length of 18 meters for use in Innsbruck region.
The first two vehicles are due to be delivered in September 2025 and the remaining 25 city buses by the end of 2025, MAN states.
MAN to deliver buses to Ledermair in 2025
MAN underlines that with the new electronics platform, a completely new cockpit has found its way into the Lion’s City E. It is the central point of vehicle operation and meets the highest ergonomic standards. Numerous assistance and safety systems also ensure that the driver, passengers and other road users are as safe as possible on the road. The wheelchair-accessible and barrier-free interior ensures that even people with limited mobility can get from A to B without any problems. Comfort is also ensured by the standard CO2 air conditioning system.
MAN Transport Solutions team looks at the entire conversion process with a 360° analysis – with the aim of ensuring a successful transition to electromobility with as little effort as possible for the operators. For example, Ledermair Holding GmbH relies on the MAN eManager, a smart digital central command system that can be used to control the battery, room temperature and other vehicle parameters from the comfort of your desk.
“In order to protect the environment and make a contribution for us and our future generations, we are increasingly focusing on the use of electric buses. Our aim is to motivate people to replace individual car journeys with environmentally friendly bus journeys. We are convinced that we can achieve this with the MAN Lion’s City E,” says Alexander Ledermair.
“We are delighted with the order. After all, this is the largest eBus order from a private customer in Austria,” says Rudi Kuchta, Managing Director at MAN Truck & Bus Vertrieb Österreich GesmbH, adding: ”The vehicles also herald the largest changeover from diesel to electric buses in the state of Tyrol to date.”
