Viseon Bus GmbH is a German bus, trolleybus and coach manufacturer, based in Pilsting, Bavaria, Germany.[1] It was established in July 2008,[1] and in April 2009 it took over the former bus and coach production facility of MAN Truck & Bus in Pilsting and a workforce of about 200 employees.[2] That plant had been manufacturing vehicles under the Neoplan brand, owned by MAN since 2001.

Viseon makes buses for use in urban public transport, use at airports, use as inter-city coaches and for other purposes. In March 2010 the company secured a contract to supply 12 articulated trolleybuses for a new trolleybus system to be constructed to serve the campus of the new King Saud bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.[3][4] Later reports indicated the vehicles were Viseon model LT20.[5]
