CLondoner92 (New Account)🚍🔋⚡🇱🇹 MAN Truck & Bus has secured Lithuania’s largest electric bus order, with Vilniaus viešasis transportas (VVT) purchasing 112 MAN Lion’s City E buses for #Vilnius. The deal includes 84 12-metre solo buses and 28 18-metre articulated models, aimed at replacing part of the city’s diesel fleet and supporting cleaner public #transport. The buses, which offer a range of up to 380km, will feature air conditioning, Wi-Fi, passenger information systems and mobile charging points. Deliveries are due to begin later this year and continue until the end of 2027, while local partner ADAMPOLIS will provide maintenance for five years. MAN says more than 3,300 Lion’s City E #buses have been delivered since 2019, with electric models now accounting for around half of its new city bus sales in #Europe.
