Carris 2225 – Caetano City Gold MAN 2KD

Bus operated by Carris seen at Praça D. Pedro IV, Lisboa, in June 2013. This bus with fleet number 2225 is a Caetano City Gold MAN 2KD registered in 2004 and included in a series of 110 units, 2201–2310, placed in service in 2004–2005. It has an overall length of 39.4 ft and can accommodate 35 seated passengers and 50 standees (35+50+1). Estebán Urban 90 seats. It uses the MAN 18.310 HOCL-NL chassis with the 228 kW (310 hp) MAN D2866 LUH engine. As a note of interest, the 2311–2348-series, also introduced in 2004–2005, uses the same MAN 18.310 HOCL-NL chassis, but combined with a Marcopolo Viale body. Some sources consider these two batches a single series, 2201–2348. Established in 1872 and based in Lisboa, Companhia Carris de Ferro de Lisboa, whose name is usually shortened to Carris, operates regular services, regular specialized services and occasional services. Here, we see this Caetano City Gold MAN 2KD on the regular service 711, Terreiro Paço–Alto Damaia ¹. The "dot" on the windshield denotes the metropolitan area served by the route – the blue color corresponds to Benfica/Carnide. ●
