MAN Lion's City is a city bus built by the German truck and bus manufacturer MAN Nutzfahrzeuge since 1996. A new generation was launched in 2004.
It has a 6-cylinder turbocharged straight engine which runs on diesel, compressed natural gas or liquefied petroleum gas. Versions with hydrogen fuel cell drive and with hydrogen internal combustion engines have been successfully tested, as well as diesel-electric hybrid drive, and the latter is due to enter serial production in 2010.
The latest generation of Neoplan Centroliner is based on the Lion's City (Neoplan is a part of the NEOMAN group). A modified Lion's City exists in the UK, having marketed as the East Lancs Kinetec. Only two were ever made, one single-decked and one double decked. These were made in 2007. No further orders were made.
