[edit] Kinetic (single decker)
The standard Kinetic is a single decker body that appears to have been influenced by the Optare Sigma body in styling and construction. Unlike the Sigma though it is of low floor design. Reviews from its launch as Euro Bus Expo 2006 were very poor. Like the Scania OmniTown the bus uses the East Lancs Esteem body, but with the chassis maker's (MAN's) "Lion's City" front.
[edit] Kinetic+ (double decker)
The Kinetic+ is a double decker bus seemingly influenced by the Optare Spectra body. The body has a low-height (4 metres) design, which has been critisised. The next prototype will be of London specification with a 4.3 metre height. Like later Spectras, the body is of low floor design and has the same lower dash panel as the single decker Kinetic. Like the Kinetic, this bus again uses the chassis maker's (MAN's) front with the East Lancs Olympus body.
