MAN SD 202

The MAN SD 202 is a double-decker bus built by Waggon Union with MAN chassis components for city service in what was then West Berlin. A prototype was presented in 1982 as the successor of the MAN SD 200 for the Berlin transport authority BVG, two more prototypes followed in 1983 and 1985, and series production began in 1986. The design drew on the second generation of German standard service buses. The BVG received 468 of them, and a few more went to the Lübeck-Travemünde transport company with a longer axle ratio for the fast road to Travemünde. From 1988 the lower deck was rearranged to give wheelchair users with a companion more room. Production ended in 1992 and the low-floor MAN ND 202 followed in 1995. Many were converted into sightseeing buses, and in October 2022 one was rebuilt with electric drive for a trial on a BVG line.
