Operating principle

Operator comfort takes top priority. The operating panel in the new Lion’s City has been ergonomically optimised with a number of new features. The operating elements are divided into three zones and arranged according to their frequency of use.

Driver’s seat

It is all down to the right ergonomics: The driver’s seat is horizontally adjustable and offers increased leg room thanks to its wider and deeper seating surface. The headrest design offers optimal all-round vision, meaning you can keep an eye on everything at all times.

Driver’s platform

The driver’s workplace in the new MAN Lion’s City is 110 mm higher than in its predecessor and now has a total height of 330 mm. The heel point was determined according to ISO 16121 1:2005.

Storage concept

In the new Lion’s City, the storage space configuration has been completely rethought: Side panelling with drinks holder and storage compartment for keys or mobile phone, a driver’s compartment in the driver’s door as well as a practical waste bin and a newspaper net make the daily routine substantially easier.

Individual wheel suspension

The new MAN Lion’s City is the first city bus from MAN with individual wheel suspension which allows for almost independent wheel movement on either side of the vehicle, thus providing optimum manoeuvrability.

In addition there is minimum transfer of movements cased by imperfections in the road from the wheels and the wheel mounts, via the body, to the opposite side of the vehicle. This means that the driver and the passengers can enjoy a smoother and more comfortable ride in the new MAN Lion’s City.

Pivot joint

The pivot joint of the MAN Lion’s City is made of aluminium has a higher torsional moment, and offers increased rigidity and secure footing for passengers.

In addition, new electrics and hydraulics ensure a high and continuously variable damping torque which stabilises the bus at high speeds and when turning sharp corners, making the overall driving experience even more pleasant for the diver and the passengers alike.

Shock absorbers

The new MAN Lion’s City has a brand new type of shock absorber fitted as standard. The purely hydraulic PCV (Premium Comfort Valve) vibration damper ensures notably smoother driving behaviour while at the same time reducing noise levels.

This ensures high levels of comfort for drivers and passenger and comes as standard in the new MAN Lion’s City.
