MAN Lion's City 12 E has demonstrated the performance of all-electric city buses with an impressive journey across Europe to Limerick in Ireland. After its start at MAN headquarters, the electric bus, developed in Munich and manufactured in Starachowice, Poland, reached the Emerald Isle of Ireland on May 8. There, the all-electric city bus is taking part in the International Bus Euro Test 2022 in Limerick. Field test: MAN Lion's City 12 E travels around 2,500 kilometers through Europe reliably and suitable for everyday use from Munich to Limerick, Stopovers in Innsbruck, St. Moritz, Zurich, Strasbourg, Luxembourg, Brussels, Rouen, Cherbourg and Wexford. Up to 418 kilometers a day fully electric; 1,433 meters of altitude covered on the Swiss Julier Pass; excellent recuperation valuesDuring the "Electrifying Europe Tour," the twelve-meter city bus crossed eight countries in ten days. It covered a total distance of 2,448.8 kilometers and consumed a total of 1,763.7 kWh of energy or around 0.72 kWh per kilometer. These peak values were achieved thanks to the Lion's City E's efficient technology and a remarkable recuperation rate of 20.8 percent. The energy for the demanding journey under a wide range of conditions was provided by six lithium-ion battery packs (capacity 480 kWh) on the roof of the eBus. Recharging was carried out after each daily stage; no intermediate charging was necessary.With blue and yellow design elements based on the colors of the Ukraine flag, the Lion's City E also set a sign for a peaceful Europe during the tour and on its arrival in Limerick in Ireland, fittingly on the 77th anniversary of the end of the Second World War on May 8.
