MAN launches new Skyliner bus

MAN Truck & Bus Middle East and Africa, a leading commercial vehicle producer, has launched the fifth generation of its premium Neoplan Skyliner bus.

UITP Mena Congress and Showcase 2012 is the ideal platform for MAN Truck and Bus to engage with partners and potential customers, in order to exchange ideas and experiences on public transport solutions.

The luxurious new double-decker Neoplan Skyliner includes a comfortable lounge area, a bathroom, and a fully-equipped kitchen with a fridge in the lower-deck. The bus also features two DVD players with screens, a luggage compartment and a dual-zone air conditioning system.

The bus can be customized to accommodate between 68 and 83 people depending on seat configurations. The reclining passenger seats exude comfort with high backs, service tables, and foot rests.

The new bus incorporates sophisticated safety measures including a reinforced steel frame structure with integrated solid roll bars, a fire extinguishing system for the engine compartment, smoke detectors in the luggage compartment and two surveillance cameras for each door.

The environmentally-friendly bus runs on a MAN Pure Diesel engine and a MAN TipMatic 12-speed manual transmission which considerably reduces fuel consumption and harmful gas emissions.
