2 Ma moved by mobility. The alteratio of su ad moo, the four seasos, ebb ad flow, the path of the electros i every sigle atom movemet is iheret i our uiverse. Ad mobility is part of beig huma. Oly people who ca move aroud ca also ejoy freedom. Mobility allows us to discover ukow territory ad experiece ew horizos. We take advatage of it for travellig, gettig to school or work, doig the shoppig or goig to the theatre or football stadium. Life as we kow it today would be icoceivable without moder meas of trasport. But vehicles use eergy ad most of them cosume fossil resources, pollute the air ad emit carbo dioxide (CO 2 ). This is why we at MAN see the cetral challege i esurig the mobility ecessary i our society i the most evirometally compatible way possible - so that we ca all breathe easier. 2 3

3 Ito the future with ew eergy. Everyoe s talkig about eviromet-friedly power. We have it. With its iovative techology the ew Lio s City marks a big step forward i protectio of the eviromet. Here a series-produced MAN Euro 6 diesel egie with automatic start-stop system powers a high-performace alterator that i tur supplies the eergy for two electric drive motors. The result is covicig: the Lio s City Hybrid cosumes up to 30 per cet less fuel. Ideed, i a year it saves up to litres of diesel. The CO2 output is reduced by up to 26 toes per year. With this system it is also possible to move away from bus-stops purely uder electric power. No fumes, o oise a real blessig for residets ad passegers alike. 4 Eve today, goig by bus icurs oticeably lower CO2 emissios. A city bus emits less tha oe-third of the greehouse gases of a car. At peak traffic times the CO2 emissios of a covetioal city bus per passeger are oly about five per cet of those of a car; that meas figures of aroud 10 grams of per perso-kilometre. Sice eve that is too much for us at MAN, we are haressig a very special kid of power: the power of two hearts. What we mea by this is hybrid techology, where a covetioal iteral-combustio egie ad highly efficiet electric motors with a electric storage uit divide up the work betwee them to achieve major cuts i fuel cosumptio ad emissios of CO2. 5

4 How iovative techology helps the eviromet. The combiatio of diesel egie ad electric motors makes it possible to achieve major improvemets i efficiecy too. Beside this, ew techiques come ito play to help reduce fuel cosumptio ad CO2 emissios. Just switch off. Red lights, traffic jams ad, of course, time spet at bus-stops i urba traffic a bus diesel egie idles for up to 40 per cet of the time. The Lio s City Hybrid therefore has a automatic stopstart system that simply switches off the egie automatically whe the vehicle is at a stadstill ad starts it agai automatically oly whe it is eeded. That s itelliget MAN Eergy Maagemet. The brake power plat for savig eergy. Drivig, brakig, stadstill. Drivig, brakig, stadstill. This stop-ad-go cycle costs ot oly time but eergy too, so it s good that the Lio s City Hybrid is ow makig a virtue out of ecessity. The buzz term is brake eergy recovery; the techical experts call it recuperatio. The priciple is as simple as it is itelliget: every time the brakes are applied eergy is released, but util ow this eergy has ot bee used. I the Lio s City Hybrid this eergy is ow stored i high-performace capacitors ad draw off from there as required. I this way the eergy wo from brakig ca be used for differet purposes or for movig away from bus-stops uder electric power i.e. without exhaust emissios or oise. Beig phlegmatic is sometimes a good thig. Eergy is recovered durig brakig, ad the egie is switched off whe the vehicle is at a stadstill. But what happes whe the Lio s City Hybrid is movig? It s all quite simple: Peak power requiremets are covered from the eergy saved i the electric storage uit. The diesel egie ca be phlegmatised, i.e. made to operate i the most favourable efficiecy rage at all times. That too reduces fuel cosumptio ad emissios. The beefits of the Lio s City Hybrid. 6 Fuel savigs of up to 30 per cet or litre diesel/ year, depedig o route profile thaks to MAN Eergy Maagemet, the itelliget hybrid cotrol system: CO2 reductios of up to 30 per cet or 26 toes/year No exhaust fumes ad oly miimal oise at bus-stops thaks to movig off uder electric power Virtually maiteace-free eergy storage uits (Ultracaps) desiged to last as log as the vehicle itself Optimum aerodyamics ad additioal reductios i cosumptio achieved by the ew MAN EfficiecyDesig 7

5 Evirometal awareess ca take excitig ew forms. We call it EfficiecyDesig. The Lio s City expresses its ier values with lies that are at oce elegat ad strikig but at the same time set a fuctioal ote. The ambitious desig itegrates the compoets of the hybrid system harmoiously i the stylish appearace of the bus ad also makes it possible to locate all power-coductig parts outside the passeger area. Its characteristic features are the streamlied, air-cooled ultracap storage system housed 8 over the frot part of the vehicle with a favourable ifluece o the weight balace, the dyamic AeroLie extedig from the B-post over the etire roof ad the rear spoiler as a defied breakoff poit. The Lio s City Hybrid s uified formal laguage cotiues through the etire desig of the bus, ledig this moder high-tech product a attractive appearace: style all alog the lie. 9

6 Efficiecy ad evirometal compatibility: award-wiig! The future of city buses is called hybrid. With the Lio s City Hybrid, MAN offers a product that has prove itself ot oly i test operatio, but also i real daily use, ad that makes a lastig cotributio to icreased evirometal protectio i tows ad cities. The iovative cocept has bee ackowledged by atioal ad iteratioal awards ad great sales success. i which oly ecological criteria are evaluated. Characterised by its elegat outlies, the hybrid bus ca be recogised as a future-orietated vehicle at first glace. It already scooped the red dot award i 2011 for its EfficiecyDesig. Bus of the Year 2011 i Spai. The MAN Lio s City Hybrid was omiated as Autobús del Año 2011 i Spai. The wier of the award set up by the Revista Viajeros trade joural is determied by a pael of judges made up primarily of experts from Spaish public trasport compaies. The judges were wo over by the fidigs of the comprehesive test operatio of the hybrid buses i Muich, Barceloa ad Sa Sebastia. The tests showed that the MAN Lio s City Hybrid has great potetial to save fuel ad CO2 ad that it is highly suitable for everyday use. The Lio s City Hybrid was awarded the Gree Bus Award 2013 for fuel-savig ad quiet operatio i city traffic, oce agai demostratig its evirometal credetials. Europea bestseller. Fuel ad CO2 savigs of up to 30 % ad electrical, exhaust-free ad quiet movig off at bus stops: these argumets are covicig more ad more public trasport operators i Europe. The Lio s City Hybrid is ot oly i regular service i metropolises such as Paris, Viea, Muich, Mila ad Barceloa, but has ow also bee itroduced i may other Europea cities. ÖkoGlobe 2011 evirometal award. The MAN Lio s City Hybrid was the oly bus i the Vehicle iovatios i public trasport category to be recogised by the pael of judges for the reowed ÖkoGlobe 2011 evirometal award. The ÖkoGlobe is the first iteratioal evirometal award for the automotive idustry 10 11
