Built from the trusted Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and engineered by Altas Auto – a leading European manufacturer with ISO-certified production and a strong track record – the Cityline 16 Seater Minibus continues to earn praise from drivers, engineers, procurement teams and passengers alike.
EVM Area Sales Manager, Lorna Miller says “In an industry where reliability, accessibility and whole-life value matter more than ever, the Altas Cityline has established itself as one of the most respected low-floor minibuses on the UK and Irish market. The Cityline range – in both electric and diesel – continues to impress operators seeking a highly capable, high-capacity solution for urban and peri-urban mobility.”
We wanted to shine the spotlight on this accessible minibus and unpack what makes this vehicle stand out in a fiercely competitive market.
The EVM Cityline is a low-floor, accessible minibus that can transport up to 22 passengers at a time.
Designed for urban, community, and school transport, this minibus conversion features a 27 cm low-entry floor and a host of passenger amenities which ensure you are providing reliable transport in comfort and style.
EVM’s Cityline minibus has been engineered for accessibility, efficiency, and reliable performance. The minibus delivers on these requirements with key standard features including:
On the roads since 2014, this minibus has been tried and tested by hundreds of operators, thousands of drivers and millions of journeys. The Cityline is well-placed as a strategic asset as modern fleets and passengers increasingly require vehicles that do more than just transport between point A and B. The Cityline stands out in a few ways in this department with a host of features, including:
Passenger comfort, driver ergonomics, and safety are priorities and the Cityline deliberately invests in solutions that help maintain value over time.
For operators transitioning to zero-emission fleets, the electric Cityline offers one of the most mature electric minibus packages available.
This makes the eCityline a strong match for all-day urban operations, especially where range predictability, quiet operation and reduced emissions are key priorities. The UK And Scottish Government have created funding streams and grants to support businesses in funding their transition to zero emission fleets.

Many of the EVMs customers update their Cityline fleet with the latest models. Craig George of OTS Bus and Coach invested in an eCityline for operations in Falmouth, Devon in 2025. He explained: “The Sprinter is a proven product for us; we know it inside-out. We also hold the EVM Cityline in very high regard, with ICE variants serving us very well over the last five years. All those factors made the eCityline an easy choice”.
