One to date has been retro-fitted with an Allison World Series B300R4 transmission, creating a largely noticeable increase in performance against similar examples with the three-speed Voith DIWA transmission.

The majority of pre-1990 SL202s have a 155 kilowatts (211 PS; 208 bhp) D2566UH engine, developing about 755 newton-metres (557 lbf⋅ft) of torque at 1,400 rpm.

Much of the design was used in the North American version of the SL202, the MAN Americana SL40-102.

Sydney Buses purchased 50 Pressed Metal Corporation bodied SL202s in 1989 which were retired in 2013,[2] while the State Transport Authority, Adelaide took delivery of 125 Pressed Metal Corporation Australia bodied examples between 1992 and 1996.
