MAN launches autonomous e-bus trials in Munich

MAN Lion has been testing its automated City 12 E bus on the 178 bus route in Munich, Germany, since September. Now, MAN Truck & Bus, Stadtwerke München (SWM), MVG and Munich’s Department of Mobility are moving onto the next stage and will be beginning trials with test users.

From November 17, participants will be able to ride the autonomous e-bus between Petuelring and Freimanner Hölzl, from Monday to Friday, in this next phase of the MINGA project.

German Federal Minister of Transport Steffen Bilger said, “Autonomous driving can contribute to high-performance local public transport. That is why we at the Federal Ministry of Transport support innovative projects such as MINGA, which we are funding with around €13m (US$14.5m).”

More than 2,000 people have already pre-registered for a ride in the autonomous MAN e-bus, with operations with test users scheduled to run until June 2027.
