In collaboration with ST Engineering, MAN Truck & Bus SE is poised to significantly contribute to Singapore's ambitious Green Plan 2030 by electrifying its public bus fleet. Singapore's Land Transport Authority (LTA) has set an aggressive target to replace half of its approximately 6,000 buses with zero-emission models by 2030. This initiative aims to provide commuters with cleaner, quieter rides while drastically reducing emissions from the land transport sector, which currently accounts for 15% of Singapore's carbon dioxide emissions.

To support this electrification effort, MAN and ST Engineering are developing a cutting-edge solution that meets the latest LTA requirements for public buses. This solution will incorporate the low-floor variant of MAN’s award-winning Lion’s Chassis E, designed with three passenger doors for optimal accessibility. Additionally, the buses will be equipped with an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) powered by ST Engineering’s AGIL DriveSafe+ technology. This innovative system employs AI video analytics to monitor blind spots and detect potential collisions, enhancing driver situational awareness and improving overall road safety.

During a recent showcase in Singapore, MAN CEO Alexander Vlaskamp highlighted the company’s commitment to advancing electromobility, emphasizing its readiness to support the nation's electrification goals. He noted that MAN's proven e-bus chassis can be easily customized to meet specific requirements, making it a competitive option in the market.

ST Engineering's Hoe Yeen Teck expressed optimism about the collaboration, stating that the AGIL DriveSafe+ technology, currently undergoing trials, will set a new standard for public transit safety in Singapore. This partnership aims to gather real-world insights to continuously refine the technology continuously, ensuring safer roads for all.

With a strong history in Singapore, having delivered over 1,500 buses and 1,000 trucks since 2011, MAN remains dedicated to helping the nation achieve its net-zero emissions aspirations while enhancing public transportation reliability and safety.
