MAN NL262 (A27) is a low-floor single-decker bus made by MAN from 1992 to 1998. Although predominantly produced for Hong Kong in right-hand drive operated by Citybus, some were made in left-hand drive for the mainland European market, it was still built within the similar MAN NL202. It was succeeded by the MAN Lion's City.

Operations[edit]

Hong Kong[edit]

Citybus was the only operator to acquire new NL262s in Hong Kong. In all, 80 NL262s in total were ordered as 1501–1580. In 2000, some of them had went to New Lantao Bus and DBTSL. All buses were scrapped in 2015 and replaced by Youngman JNP6105R and BYD K9R buses.

As such, a spiritual successor is MAN NLxx3F in the millennium.
