Ledermair places order for 27 electric buses with MAN
Ledermair Holding GmbH is a company with a long tradition in Tyrol. Since it was founded in 1924, the company has developed from a former horse-drawn transport company into a well-known private player in Austrian scheduled and company transport. Ledermair now plans to fleet 27 MAN Lion’s City E electric buses – including 19 solo buses and eight articulated buses. The first two vehicles are to be delivered in September 2025 and the remaining 25 units by the end of 2025.
“With the MAN Lion’s City E, a modern and environmentally friendly city bus will complement our fleet,” says Alexander Ledermair, Managing Director of Ledermair Holding GmbH. “In order to protect the environment and make a contribution for us and our future generations, we are increasingly focusing on the use of electric buses. Our aim is to motivate people to replace individual car journeys with environmentally friendly bus journeys. We are convinced that we can achieve this with the MAN Lion’s City E.”
According to the partners, the electric vehicles herald “the largest changeover from diesel to electric buses in the state of Tyrol to date.” They will be used for public transport in the Innsbruck region. In addition to the buses themselves, Ledermair is also focussing on other components of the MAN ecosystem. For example, the Austrians want to use the MAN eManager charging and fleet tool.
“We are delighted with the order. After all, this is the largest eBus order from a private customer in Austria,” commented Rudi Kuchta, Managing Director at MAN Truck & Bus Vertrieb Österreich GmbH.
