The jury of the ‘Best Commercial Vehicles of the Year in Russia’ competition was full of praise for the characteristics of the MAN Lion’s Intercity, and awarded the vehicle the top prize in the category ‘Coach/Intercity Bus’.
Speaking at the awards ceremony in Moscow, Sales Director, Bus and Engines for MAN Truck & Bus RUS, Natalya Solovjeva, said: ”The MAN Lion’s Intercity was added to our portfolio of MAN and NEOPLAN buses in Russia at the end of 2015 as a cost-efficient, fully-fledged intercity bus. It is available with various equipment packages and excellent safety features which already meet the ECE R66.02 roll-over standard, as well as the ERA-GLONASS (Government Accident Emergency Response System). All these features make this bus a highly promising transport solution.”
