MAN Lion's Intercity

The MAN Lion's Intercity is an intercity bus of the German company MAN Truck and Bus, also marketed for airport shuttle service and as a school bus. It has been built in Ankara, Turkey, since 2015 and is offered in Europe as MAN's standard intercity bus; in 2016 it was named intercity bus of the year in Russia. In 2018 MAN won every lot of a Deutsche Bahn tender for up to 1,000 buses over four years, with all DB Regio Bus intercity buses to be Lion's Intercity. It is a high-floor design, unlike the low-floor Lion's City, with a floor that rises slightly toward the rear. It is offered at 12.2 metres with up to 55 seats and, as the Intercity C, at 13 and 13.2 metres with up to 59 and 63 seats. Power comes from MAN's own inline six-cylinder common rail diesels, the D0836 LOH of 6,867 cubic centimetres and 213 kilowatts and the D1556 LOH of 9,037 cubic centimetres and 206 to 265 kilowatts. A Lion's Intercity LE followed in 2021, and from 2025 a mild hybrid with start-stop is offered.
