MAN presents its revolutionary electric bus to the market
The world of public transport is in full swing with the arrival of a novelty that promises to redefine mobility: the electric coach MAN Lion’s Coach E. At a time when sustainability and innovation are becoming global imperatives, this model has been designed to meet the requirements of transport operators while considering ecological challenges. With technical features that hint at a bright future for passenger transport, the Lion’s Coach E stands as the champion of the electric coach market.
An impressive range for real competitiveness
The Lion’s Coach E is not just a simple electric coach; it is a real technological advancement. Thanks to its oversized battery, it can travel up to 650 kilometers in real conditions. This exceptional range positions this vehicle as a viable choice for long-distance trips, thus challenging the norm of diesel coaches that have previously dominated the market.
- 🔋 Battery capacity: 356 to 536 kWh
- 🚍 Range: 650 km without recharge
- 🌬️ Drag coefficient: 0.31, comparable to a compact SUV
With a simple comparison, its battery capacity is about five times greater than that of a high-end electric sedan. This abundance of energy allows MAN to lead innovations in the field of sustainable transport.
| Battery | Capacity | Range |
|---|---|---|
| Min. Estimate | 356 kWh | ✈️ 650 km |
| Max. Estimate | 536 kWh | ✈️ 650 km |
Designed for optimal group transport
With its 19.3 meters in length and a total weight of 27.3 tons, the Lion’s Coach E has been developed to provide optimal comfort to its passengers. Capable of accommodating up to 61 people, this revolutionary coach is the ideal choice for various types of services, ranging from airport shuttles to urban excursions.
- ✈️ Airport shuttles
- 🏢 Corporate transport
- 🗺️ Tourist circuits
- 🚍 Intercity links
This versatility makes the Lion’s Coach E a major asset for transport operators looking to modernize their fleet while complying with environmental standards.
Electric charging: a challenge to overcome
Fast charging, a significant advantage for a vehicle in this category! The Lion’s Coach E can handle a charging power of up to 375 kW. A full charge of the 356 kWh battery can therefore be completed in about one hour, while that of 536 kWh takes nearly two hours. These charging times integrate seamlessly into drivers' work cycles, thus minimizing downtime.
| Battery Capacity | Charging Power | Estimated Charging Time |
|---|---|---|
| 356 kWh | 375 kW | ~1 hour |
| 536 kWh | 375 kW | ~2 hours |
| 536 kWh | 750 kW (future) | ~1 hour |
A future with potentially doubled charging power at 750 kW could drastically reduce downtime, thus providing better profitability for transport companies.
A revolution heralding a sustainable future
The Lion’s Coach E embodies MAN’s commitment to establishing itself as a leader in electrification of transportation. Although this model is the first of its kind in the long-distance coach market, MAN has already proven itself with electric buses in urban settings for several years.
- 🚍 MAN’s commitment to electrification since 2019
- 🌱 Global goal: reduce CO₂ emissions
- 💧 Contributing to ecological mobility
This launch reflects a genuine desire to transform public transport practices. With cutting-edge performance and unprecedented range, the Lion’s Coach E could well convince even the most skeptical to make the leap towards an electric future.
