FC Bayern will be traveling in a new team bus this season. Together with its partner MAN Truck & Bus, the record champion has unveiled a vehicle specially tailored to the team’s needs.
FC Bayern will also be relying on a new vehicle for its travels in the future. Together with its long-standing partner MAN Truck & Bus, the Munich-based club has unveiled a new MAN Lion’s Coach L, which will be used immediately for the team’s trips in Germany and Europe.
The bus was designed specifically for the record champions and features the club’s colors as well as a large FC Bayern logo. In addition, the vehicle’s interior has been adapted to meet the requirements of the professional team and the coaching staff.
Rouven Kasper, Chief Marketing Officer, explained: “The long-standing partnership between FC Bayern and MAN demonstrates how top-level soccer and cutting-edge technology go hand in hand. The new MAN team bus, specially tailored to our team’s needs, reflects our commitment to the highest level of professionalism in every detail. The innovative features we’ve implemented together demonstrate how we’re shaping progress side by side. Wherever FC Bayern stops on its travels, the distinctive design makes it clear at first glance who’s on board.”
Kitchen, Wi-Fi, and meeting area on board
Inside, the new team bus features, among other things, a kitchen with refrigerators, a sink, and a fully automatic coffee machine. There are also several height-adjustable meeting tables where coaches and players can hold discussions before or after matches.
For longer trips, premium Wi-Fi, three HD monitors, a sound system, and special interior lighting have also been integrated. In addition, there are numerous driver-assistance systems designed to make the bus safer and enhance ride comfort.
MAN is also pleased to continue its collaboration with Germany’s record-holding champion. Michael Kobriger, Executive Board Member for Production and Logistics at MAN Truck & Bus, said: “We are very pleased to continue our long-standing partnership with FC Bayern and to continue accompanying the team safely and comfortably to their games with a MAN Lion’s Coach. The bus combines state-of-the-art technology, the highest level of comfort, and an unmistakable design—making it a worthy companion for the German record champions.”
The partnership between FC Bayern and MAN has been in place since 2008. In the coming season, the record champion’s fleet is also set to be expanded to include a fully electric MAN Lion’s Coach E. According to both partners, this move is intended to further advance the use of more sustainable mobility solutions.
