Since the delivery of the first hybrid bus in 2010, MAN has sold approximately 800 MAN Lion’s City Hybrid buses. More and more big cities are relying on the efficient and clean solution for inner-city traffic. The new generation of city buses featuring MAN EfficientHybrid is now continuing the success story.
The Metropolitan Transport of Barcelona (TMB) relies on MAN Truck & Bus. In total, 75 MAN Lion’s City buses with natural gas drive as well as 30 hybrid buses have been commissioned by the transport operators.

Commercial vehicle manufacturer MAN Truck & Bus has reduced the CO2 emissions of its production sites by more than one quarter. The sites emitted around 29% less CO2 in 2018 than in the base year of 2008. This means that MAN has reached the goal it had set itself two years earlier than was originally planned: in fact, the MAN Climate Strategy, which was adopted back in 2011, provided for a 25% reduction by 2020 and not any earlier. Over the past years, MAN Truck & Bus has invested around €40 million in reducing the CO2 generated by its production network, cutting the emissions of this greenhouse gas by over 100,000 tons a year – equivalent to those produced by a small town.
