Operations

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 gone 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.
