The launch of a new e-bus is a statement and a commitment to a greener Munich
Local authorities in the German city of Munich have unveiled the latest addition to their collection of e-buses – namely its first electric vehicle developed by MAN Lion’s City. It is currently serving out a trial period and will operate on line 100, running between the Hauptbahnhof and Ostbahnhof.
The Bavarian capital is no stranger to electric vehicles in its public transport fleet. Currently, there are a total of 5 electric vehicles in operation on line 100 with additional buses already being ordered. The first ones are scheduled to arrive in September, allowing the Museum Line to be run entirely by electric vehicles. By 2021, the entirety of the Munich public transport fleet will consist of at the very least 26 electric vehicles, running entirely on zero emissions.
What makes the new bus special, however, are its state-of-the-art capabilities and its significance. Not only does the bus boast a plethora of upgrades compared to regular e-buses but it also serves as a statement by local authorities that they are keeping their eye on the ball and are eager to play their part in combating climate change.
The features on MAN Lion’s City bus include:
"Our goal for the next ten years is clear: move away from oil and towards zero emissions in operation. For this we need reliable and long-range e-buses", stated Ingo Wortmann, head of MVG (Munich’s Public transport operating company) and managing director of mobility at Stadtwerke München (SWM). He further added that "In the future, we will no longer order combustion engines for our bus fleet".
The building will then serve as the site for a new museum dedicated to Finnish-Russian relations
