MAN Lion’s City E has one of the highest battery capacities among single-deck electric buses here.

The bus runs on a new generation of battery technology and has one of the highest battery capacities among single-deck electric buses here.

“This is the very first right-hand drive electric bus from MAN that they have produced, and Singapore is the first country to receive it from MAN,” said Mr Hoe Yeen Teck, who heads ST Engineering’s mobility road and services. MAN Lion’s City E runs on a new generation of battery technology and has one of the highest battery capacities among single-deck electric buses here. It has a total battery capacity of approximately 480kWh across six battery packs, said ST Engineering.

This electric bus is also the first in Singapore to use digital cameras in place of side mirrors, with displays inside the bus providing the driver with an enhanced field of vision for improved safety. This system is similar to the MAN OptiView digital mirror replacement system used on the company’s vehicles.

Leisure Frontier managing director Terence Ng said the company will start using the new electric bus in the fourth quarter of 2024 for shuttle services for malls, offices and army camps.Mr Alexander Vlaskamp, chief executive of MAN Truck and Bus, said: “Singapore is a very important market for us when it comes to South-east Asia.”
