MAN Neoplan Tourliner P20 stock coach

As some parts of the coach industry again consider fleet replacement cycles, MAN is already underway with a refinement of the specification of its Neoplan Tourliner and the placing of a small stock order for September arrival.

Just five coaches make up that batch. A pair of each of the 13.1m P10 two-axle and 13.4m P20 tri-axle will come, alongside one 12.1m P21 two-axle. All will have ZF’s EcoLife automatic gearbox, with the current customer base favouring that over the automated manual Traxon. The 13.9m P22 remains available to customer order, as does the Traxon across the range.

All five will additionally arrive prepared for PSVAR and to carry two wheelchair users. An additional door, Mobitec destination display equipment and tracking will be present. If the customer requires PSVAR compliance, a lift will be fitted by MAN after arrival in the UK.

Now part of the Neoplan Tourliner stock specification is the Kiel Avance X seat

In each Tourliner variant the lift when fitted is over an axle, meaning that no luggage space is lost. The P10 remains able to carry 57 passengers in PSVAR compliant form.

This stock order will introduce the Kiel Avance X seat to the Tourliner range. MAN will opt for a mid-range finish with part-leather trim, a drop-down table, magazine net and – except for on the P10 – a footrest.

“This is a small order because the market remains depressed, but we have sold all our existing stock and we need to have vehicles on hand to show to customers,” says General Manager for Bus and Coach Wayne Ulph.

“We have worked on the specification of these coaches to reflect changes in the market,” he adds. The decision to go with an ex-factory PSVAR-ready specification also considers those trends.

Options in play from MAN for Tourliner buyer support

Of existing stock coaches already in the UK, almost all either have been or will be converted to comply with PSVAR by BASE. Its work is of comparable quality to that from MAN’s factory in Ankara, says Senior Retail Coach Sales Executive Matthew Jacob.

Each stock Tourliner will come with four years’ warranty, made up of three years’ comprehensive cover and a further year for the driveline. That includes oil and filter changes and valve clearance checks at a main dealer for each of those four years.

A range of repair and maintenance contracts are available and MAN Truck and Bus UK can also offer leasing via MAN Financial Services.

andy burnham tfgm £15.6 billion (1) The funding announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves today (4 June) has been allocated to several combined mayoral authorities to use on rail, tram, road and bus infrastructure. Transport for Greater Manchester revealed today that part of the £2.5 billion it will receive will go towards making the Bee Network fully battery-electric by 2030. An as-yet undecided portion of that will support a planned investment in 1,000 new zero-emission buses over that period, the mayoral authority said. That is part of plans to build the UK's "first fully integrated, zero-emission public transport system", with trams and trains also set to benefit. Liverpool City Region's already announced BRT system is among the projects to which its £1.6 billion will be allocated. Under those plans - due for realisation by 2028 - a high-speed network will be served by articulated buses which are modelled on the 'Glider' in Belfast. It is due to link Liverpool city centre with John Lennon Airport, and Liverpool FC and Everton FC's respective stadia along three routes. Although the model of bus has not been confirmed, a Van Hool Exqui.City on loan from Belfast was last year used as a demonstrator. That 18m vehicle can accommodate around 30% more passengers than a typical bus and has three sets of double doors. The funding will also go towards buses elsewhere in the city as the region heads towards franchising services by 2027. Liverpool Mayor Steve Rotheram with a 'Glider' which was on loan from Belfast last year - an example of the sort of bus which could serve the new BRT Bus services in the East Midlands region will be boosted by the funding, thanks to the £2 billion handed to it today by the government. Some of that allocation will be used for a rapid transit network on the Trent Arc between Nottingham and Derby. Between the two cities, the Freeport, Infinity Park Investment Zone and Ratcliffe-on-Soar will also benefit from the improved bus services. South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority's newly announced commitment towards bus franchising has been boosted by £350 million in funding as part of that region's allocation. The funding for West Yorkshire will help build new bus stations in Bradford and Wakefield. Likewise, the Tees Valley Mayoral Authority will put its sum towards a new £15 million bus station in Middlesbrough. Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander says: "Today marks a watershed moment on our journey to improving transport across the North and Midlands – opening up access to jobs, growing the economy and driving up quality of life as we deliver our Plan for Change. "For too long, people in the North and Midlands have been locked out of the investment they deserve. With £15.6bn of government investment, we’re giving local leaders the means to drive cities, towns and communities forward, investing in Britain’s renewal so you and your family are better off."
