Germany and football are powered by MAN
The UEFA European Football Championship is underway and – given the fact that it was postponed last year as a result of the pandemic – there’s massive hype around the competition. After all, people are forward to celebrating, partying and cheering on their team.
To celebrate the 60th anniversary of the tournament, the 2021 European Football Championship is being hosted in 11 different cities, including Munich. People who visit and live in the Bavarian capital as well as those residents of Hamburg or Cologne also have another highlight to look forward to: MAN city buses featuring the design as the German football team’s bus will be taking to the roads.
“Our aim is to make the excitement around the tournament manifest and give everyone the chance to climb aboard a special team bus – based on the motto ‘Germany is powered by MAN’,” says Rudi Kuchta, head business unit bus at MAN Truck & Bus.
The e-buses and state-of-the-art city buses from MAN, featuring the “black, red and gold design”, are in deployment for the Munich public transport operator Münchner Verkehrsgesellschaft mbH (MVG), the Hamburg-Holstein public transportation company Verkehrsbetriebe Hamburg-Holstein GmbH (VHH) and the Kölner Verkehrs-Betriebe AG (KVB).
“They will take fans to their destination safely, in comfort and, most importantly, in an environmentally friendly manner during the entire tournament. Our innovative buses and, in particular, the fully electric MAN Lion’s City E are perfect for this sports event. This is because they are dynamic, are future-oriented and stir up excitement wherever they are,” says Heinz Kiess, head of product marketing bus.
German national team also travels by MAN
It is not just the fans and football enthusiasts who will be travelling by MAN during the tournament. The German national team will also travel to their games safely and in comfort with a particularly spectacular MAN Lion’s Coach. Not only does it have an eye-catching exterior design (in black, red and gold, of course), but it has been equipped with exclusive interior fittings.
“These fittings are extremely important. After all, this is where the footballers rest and recuperate. That’s why there needs to be plenty of space inside, all the elements have to be carefully thought out, and the bus has to provide the players with a safe and smooth ride,” stresses Kuchta. “Its unmistakable design and unique comfort features definitely make the team bus a real eye-catcher and a space in which you can feel at ease.”
It sure is one good-looking bus!
