1986 MAN with the SG 242 and SG 292 a VÖV - Standard - articulated the second generation as an evolution of MAN SG 242 H or SG 282 H marketed.
It is an articulated pusher , which in contrast to MAN SG 242 H rear axle - as with the already proven Mercedes-Benz O 305 G is driven -. For reasons of patent law ( articulation angle control of the joint) MAN was only able to introduce this type of drive a few years after Daimler-Benz . The SG 242 was standard with the city bus front, but also with the overland front with single-lane entry and a small destination display. As early as 1990 it had competition from the MAN NG 272 low-floor bus , which is also to be seen as a successor.
Production was stopped in 1999. The successor is the MAN AS SG 313 . As a standard city bus from MAN, it was replaced by low-floor buses in the 1990s.
