MAN Lion’s City 10 E city bus
Germany - MAN Truck & Bus SE in Hanover at IAA Transportation this month announced the introduction of the Lion’s City 10 E to complete its Lion’s City E electric bus series. This electric bus model is a shorter midi bus version of the current Lion’s City E Series 12.2m and 18.1m models, measuring 10.5 metres in length.
As with the other MAN eBuses the fully electric Lion’s City 10 E city bus uses the NMC group battery packs and can have a battery capacity (five packs) of up to 400 kilowatt hours (usable 320 kWh, corresponding to a depth of discharge of 80 percent based on a maximum-range strategy) giving a range of up to 300km. It also has the same central electric MAN PSM (permanent-magnet synchronous machine) motor with peak output is 240 kW (326 hp), with a continuous power operation of 160 kW (217 hp). A single-stage adapter gearbox means power delivery is infinitely variable without disruptive gear changes.
