MAN Omnibusse - in aller Welt

With the idea of building trucks and buses together in the future, MAN began a cooperation with the Swiss company Saurer during the First World War. However, as this was prevented by the German military administration, MAN continued on its own.

MAN now produces its truck and bus series under the name MAN Truck & Bus. In 2015, the company celebrated its 100th anniversary in bus construction.
Enriched with illustrations and photos as well as contemporary advertisements, brochures and documents, Wolfgang Westerwelle tells the story of MAN buses from their beginnings to the present day.

Abschied vom Standard-1-Bus : Die letzten Standard-Linienbusse der ersten Generation im Einsatz

From the end of the 1960s to the 1990s, the first generation of standard buses dominated local public transport in the Federal Republic of Germany. They have long since been phased out by the large urban and municipal transport companies, but some private bus companies still rely on the robust Standard 1 buses from the manufacturers MAN, Mercedes Benz and Magirus - mostly for school transport.

However, due to the trend towards modern low-floor buses, air-conditioned vehicles and increasingly strict environmental regulations, the number of Standard 1 buses still in use in Germany has fallen rapidly in recent years. The foreseeable end of this generation of buses in scheduled services is therefore a reason to dedicate the first volume of the "tadtverkehr-Bildarchiv" book series to the Standard 1 buses.

Climb aboard and accompany us on our trip through Germany to the last examples of the MB O 305/O 305 G and O 307, MAN SL 200 and SÜ 240 types as well as several other Standard 1 models that have now become real rarities.
