SG 240 H is correct. This model is the first MAN-articulated bus with rear engine (but it´s not a pusher like MB O 305 G!) and was built since 1980 to 1987. I could identify the vehicle by VIN.
Hello! How to explaine this in english? The power is transmissed by a cardan shaft (Kardanwelle) through the articulation. Because the cardan shaft can be damaged in very narrow curves, the third axle is guideable (?, angelenkt), so that the third axle follows exakt the other axles like in busses with engine between first and second axle. The technic is much more difficult than a pusher and was used because Mercedes-Benz holt the patent to pushers. (If you want more details I must ask a specialist.)
