Auckland's 19m MAN articulated

[ScaniaDriver]

Due to the extra length and weight, this 19m MAN artic requires 4 axles! There are 36 seats in the front section and 35 in the rear with a total of 71 seats. This was one of my main targets during my trip to Auckland. Enjoy!

A Very nice looking MAN. Kiwibus body? Good to also see the door buttons on the dash! Will track it down next time I am in NZ. Thanks for the photos.

One word: Wow! Great shots there, Norbert, simply fantastic! And good work tracking it down, too.

The interior is quite nice (for a Kiwi built bus), I'm impressed. But what a waste putting it on school runs......I'm sure most passengers would be gob-smacked to see this bus pull into their bus stop!

And now I can see it in larger form it is a Kiwi Bus. Sadly, the rear hatch does not have the Kiwi Shaped vents on it like some Kiwi Bus vehicles. Certainly the best of the Kiwi body builders.

Eek!  I'd hate to try and get THAT into Junior Boys Grammar.

Looks as if Auckland is just about ready to invest in some bi-articulateds.
