ZF AV 132 II: The Reliable Low-Floor Portal Axle

Axle for the MAN Lion’s City

In the world of urban public transport, the ZF AV 132 II is more than just a component – it is the technical prerequisite for the modern low-floor concept. As a specialized portal axle, it enables stepless entry and a continuously flat center aisle, making it the standard in models such as the MAN Lion’s City.

Technical Precision: The ZF AV 132 II/90

The present model with parts list number 4472040254 originates from a MAN Lion’s City built in 2014 (Euro 6). With a gear ratio of 5.13, this axle is perfectly designed for the demands of urban stop-and-go traffic. This ratio provides the necessary torque when pulling away from bus stops while ensuring efficient power transmission at city speeds.

The AV 132 II is characterized by its robust construction. The housing is designed for high axle loads, which is of critical importance especially for articulated buses (such as the MAN A23). The integration of disc brakes ensures precise deceleration and significantly simplifies maintenance compared to older drum brake systems.

Application in the MAN Lion’s City (2014)

The Euro 6 generation of the MAN Lion’s City was a milestone for transport companies worldwide. The year 2014 marked the transition to stricter emission standards, making these buses highly attractive even today for export and continued operation in low-emission zones. Since these vehicles often achieve over one million kilometers in service, the demands on the drivetrain increase. A used original rear axle offers an economical solution here to ensure the operational readiness of the fleet without having to bear the high costs of a new part.

Why Choose Used Original Parts?

For workshops worldwide, the availability of spare parts is often a challenge. The ZF AV 132 II is known for its durability, yet wear on the portals or bearings can occur with extreme mileage. Replacing the complete axle unit, including attachments, saves valuable assembly time compared to a time-consuming repair of the differential or the portal housings.

With a tested used part from Möller-Scholz GbR, you receive a component that exactly matches the original equipment specifications – a sustainable and cost-efficient choice for global bus maintenance.
