MAN Lion’s City GL in the EBSF project.
The “ Europea n Bus System of the Fu ture” ( EBSF)
research project is the largest road-based transport
project by the European Commission. The aim is
to promote the development of an appealing bus
system for future public transport and to relieve the
traffic situation, particularly in megacities.
The E BSF proje ct is divi ded into a numb er of s ub-
projects, in which various development approaches
are tested in real-life situations across seven Euro-
pean cities.
MAN Truck & Bus is taking part in the EBSF sub-
projects, in which increasing passenger flow and
improving carriage of passengers are central is-
sues. The innovative 18.75 metre-long articulated
bus from MAN, Lion’s City GL, is taking part as a
demonstrator vehicle in the test in Budapest, which
lasts several months. Every workday, the number
86 bus, which has 46 bus stops along an eleven-
kilometre inner-city route, takes around 26,000
passengers in each direction. The Lion’s City GL is
specially designed for high volumes of passengers,
quick passenger turnaround and optimum comfort.
