MAN Lion's City is a city bus built by the German truck and bus manufacturer MAN Nutzfahrzeuge since 2000. A new generation was launched in 2004.
It has a 6-cylinder turbocharged straight engine which runs on diesel, compressed natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. Versions with hydrogen fuel cell[1] drive and with hydrogen internal combustion engines[2] have been successfully tested, as well as diesel-electric hybrid drive, and the latter is due to enter serial production in 2010[3].
The latest generation of Neoplan Centroliner is based on the Lion's City (Neoplan is a part of the NEOMAN group).
