At the ends of 2001, TMB obteeined two series of CNC MAN buses and one serie
of IVECO. This buses are MAN NL 223 GNC. The two series were the 1500-1509
one and the 1700-1709. Thechnicali, they don't have any difference between
them excep in the gear box (ZF 5 HP 500 in the 1500's and VOITH D 854.3 in
the 1700's) and their bodyworks are from Castrosua ( CS 40 City). Although
the bodywork is the same that IVECO, they have a big difference in the rear
place of the bus because MAN engines only occupy the low area and the rear
part has a windscreen (IVECO engines occupay all the rear area and don't have
windscreen). Like the last MAN buses, they have all-low floor and teh deseign
of the seats is "Cerdà". The walls are yelow and blue. The
gas depots are in the roof of the bus.
A few time later, in 2002, TMB bought a new serie (1710-1724). This buses
are the same commercial name (MAN NL 223 F GNC)although their true name is
MAN NL 243 F GNC. They are identical at the previous serie.
