MAN Lions Coach.

Grand touring, coach style.

Efficiency en route.
The first place the Lions Coach aims to drive you is away from cost pressure. With its excellent economy, its outstanding cost-benefit ratio and a drive thats as ecological as its economical, it will be an asset on your balance sheet. A safe investment that will pay for itself in no time. Or, put another way: efficiency to the power of three. Because the Lions Coach is available not only as a 12-metre bus but also as the Lions Coach C and Lions Coach L, with three axles in each case, the former measuring 13.26 meters overall and the latter 13.80 metres. You should be counting on at least one of them.

Enjoy pure driving pleasure.

All a bus does is shift people from A to B. A Lions Coach stirs their emotions. Every mile is sheer enjoyment. Because as well as joining city to city and country to country, a Lions Coach matches outstanding comfort to superb cost efficiency and combines maximum safety with top-level eco-friendliness. A bus that opens highly promising perspectives on the future and affords highly attractive perspectives of itself. Let your eyes do the travelling and enjoy the elegant lines. The new, brand-typical front design gives the Lions Coach its unmistakeable profile. This really is a pride of lions.

A grand way to travel.

People used to think that flying was better. These days, however, discerning travellers board a Lions Coach. Even though its design might cause imaginations to take flight, the coach itself has all its wheels firmly on the ground in any traffic situation. The powerful engines and dynamic driving characteristics make every journey fly past. Are you ready for take-off?

Passenger space might be more apposite.

Size is one of the attributes characteristic of the interior of the Lions Coach. Luxury is another. The amazing feeling of space, the ergonomic comfort seats and the individually adjustable overhead sets for lighting and ventilation guarantee enjoyment all the way from point of departure to point of arrival. As the driver, you benefit from an ergonomically

optimised and highly functional workplace. And as the business owner, you can appreciate the tremendous dependability and outstanding costeffectiveness of the Lions Coach. That should set your throughts roaming. But remember: Good things are so close at hand.

our greatest passion is our love for detail.

More space for emotions. MAN has always stood for precision and perfection in every detail. The Lions Coach is a perfect example. Its structured interior design is a successful synthesis of elegance and functionality, styling and atmosphere. From the fascinating feeling of space through the attractive roof-structure design to the finest nuances of the aluminium finishers, a sensual language of form traces its way through the entire coach. Each passenger sinking gratefully into a comfortable coach seat is instantly aware of the simple truth: this is going to be good. The 3-star Lions Coach accommodates 49 passengers; the Lions Coach C takes 55 and the Lions Coach L 57 travellers in comfort to their destination.

Welcome aboard, and enjoy your stay. Your passengers on board will always welcome fresh coffee and appetising snacks. So youll be glad that the galley is fully fitted to provide just that. Travellers savour their refreshments in comfort, because each seat has a folding table with cupholder recess. And when entertainment is wanting, the DVD / video system with two flat-screen displays is ready and waiting.

Everything good.

Keeping in sight to keep a grip. A design that sets elegant accents and meets the highest ergonomic demands: that is the new cockpit in the Lions Coach. High-grade materials and attractive decorative trims help create a premium ambience with value appeal. Cast a glance here and there, and you soon realize that everything is in the right place. Whether digital speedometer, fuel consumption indicator or TopLine multimedia centre with navigation, whether climate control or central onboard computer displays are clearly structured, controls logically arranged and within easy reach. At a glance the driver has all the latest information. With the buttons in the multifunction steering wheel it is possible to retrieve vehicle data and control a whole number of other functions. The driver has a grip on everything, but without taking their hands from the wheel. From the multifunction module in the drivers door through to the numerous practical stowage spaces and compartments, each detail is a model of ergonomic perfection.

Instead of spinning its wheels: this bus stirs emotions.

Travelling is more than moving from A to B. Travelling means setting a whole world in motion; travelling imparts wholly new experiences. Especially when a Lions Coach brings all its passengers up to speed. The smooth power of the common-rail engines, the intelligent MAN TipMatic transmission and the safety of the standard electronic stability program (ESP) epitomise the sheer pleasure of

driving for drivers, and travelling for travellers. The joy of travelling goes hand in hand with awareness for the environment. The Lions Coach is cleaner than Euro 5 requires. It satisfies the considerably more stringent dictates of the EEV emissions standard (Enhanced Environmentally Friendly Vehicle). So that our atmosphere can breathe out and we can all breathe deeply in a healthy environment.

MAN engines are powerful drivers. for everything including environment protection.
Clean and efficient. Euro 5 lays down strict limits, and the dictates of EEV are even stricter, so we developed the MAN PURE DIESEL concept with common-rail injection and cooled EGR specifically to meet them. EEV compliance is achieved with the aid of the maintenance-free PM-KAT filter. This technology does

Dynamic efficiency. Dynamic in every aspect, powerful, cultivated, and miserly in only one respect: fuel consumption. The torquey common-rail engines with 294 kW (400 hp), 324 kW (440 hp) and 353 kW (480 hp) convey the Lions Coach serenely on its way and bring the pleasure of travelling up to speed. The interplay with the standard 6-speed gearbox with joystick control or the optional 12-speed MAN TipMatic transmission with EasyStart ensures uniquely pleasurable travelling enjoyment.

Efficiency always gets up to speed. The unique ride characteristics of the Lions Coach are due in large part to the low-friction hypoid driven axle and the multi-arm all-independent suspension with front anti-roll bar. The Lions Coach C and Lions Coach L have an adhesionsteered trailing-axle configuration. This axle can sustain transient variations in load, for example to improve traction when pulling away on a slippery road. In much the same vein, the air suspension with large-capacity bellows and ECAS ride-height control also contribute to ride comfort of the very finest.

maintenance of the extra system and no costs for the additive itself; no extra stops for topping up the additive tank, and no added deadweight. Last but not least, the MAN technology does not increase fuel consumption, does not push up initial investment costs, and does not generate additional overheads for operation and upkeep.

Its safe to say that safety feels good.

Drive in safety, travel in comfort: that says it all about the Lions Coach. A raft of technological highlights ensures maximised safety. Driver and passengers always share the great feeling of enjoying all-round protection all the time. Safety is not just a question of the engineering that goes into the design of the coach, of course, so MAN has a great deal more to offer in this respect: ProfiDrive driver training for more safety and costefficiency awareness turns good drivers into even better drivers. Think about it: Every journey starts out to arrive in safety.

Electronic stability program ESP. ESP is standard on all Lions Coaches, and its there to help in critical situations. If it detects a hazardous situation the system stabilises the vehicle by braking individual wheels selectively, and if necessary by cutting back engine torque. Electronic braking system EBS. EBS is standard equipment to ensure that the brakes are applied rapidly. It interacts with the anti-lock braking system to achieve a significant increase in braking safety. The integrated traction control system prevents spin at the driven wheels. MAN Brakematic with Bremsomat brake control and cruise control. MAN BrakeMatic management of the sustainedaction brake means that this brake is automatically applied as soon as the driver touches the brake pedal. Bremsomat brake control and cruise control enable the vehicle to hold exactly at a preselected speed, boosting safety on steep downhill gradients in particular. Electronic adaptation of braking force to any given braking situation also helps minimise wear and tear on the system components and improve the costeffectiveness of the brake system over its entire useful life.

MAN TipMatic . The 12-speed MAN TipMatic transmission can be operated both in fully automatic mode and manually by means of the touch-action stalk on the steering column. If the retarder takes effect, the transmission automatically selects the gear that maximises braking efficiency. Xenon headlights. The xenon lights including headlight washer system significantly improve illumination of the road ahead and enhance safety, particularly in bad weather and when visibility is poor. These lights are more than twice as bright as conventional halogen bulbs.
