MAN Truck & Bus SE

Ultramodern vehicles, sustainable solutions

MAN Truck & Bus SE simplifies its customers’ business with reliable, state-of-the-art commercial vehicles and intelligent, sustainable transport solutions.

MAN is one of the leading commercial vehicle manufacturers in Europe. The product portfolio includes vans, trucks, buses, diesel and gas engines as well as services for passenger and freight transport. MAN Truck & Bus is a TRATON SE company and employs around 33,000 people worldwide.

When it comes to electromobility, the realignment of production, logistics and development is going from strength to strength: series production of the eTruck will begin at the Munich site in 2025, the plant in Nuremberg will celebrate the start of battery series production in a few weeks and the global logistics center in Salzgitter will put its expansion for e-mobility spare parts, among other things, into operation in the spring. In Ankara, the product development center for buses has opened and is now fully launched into the electric and digital age.

And MAN is stepping up the pace of e-mobility even further. The company's first eTrucks are already rolling through Germany and Europe. Initially, the launch will require more financing – even though the life cycle costs of commercial e-trucks are lower than those of diesel trucks. In order to provide customers with the best possible support, MAN Financial Services is working flat out on the rollout under the umbrella of TRATON Financial Services. The rollout has already started in Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Austria, Poland, Spain, South Korea, Sweden and South Africa. Further markets will follow.

In addition, the new MAN Charge&Go charging tariff makes charging and payment easy and convenient for MAN electric mobility customers. The charging infrastructure for electric trucks and buses is also growing rapidly: 1,000 charging points from a wide range of providers are to be available in Europe by the end of 2025. In cooperation with E.ON alone, around 400 public charging points are being created at 170 MAN locations in Europe – 80 of which will be available by the end of 2025. The first of these are already in operation, including in Berlin and Munich. In addition, the Milence joint venture, in which the TRATON GROUP is involved, aims to build Europe's largest charging network for e-trucks with a total of 1,700 charging points by 2027. The first 13 charging parks are already in operation and ten more are under construction.

At the same time, MAN 2024 has demonstrated its innovative strength in other areas. The company was the first commercial vehicle manufacturer to launch tests for autonomous driving on German freeways, was the first truck manufacturer in Europe to offer hydrogen-powered combustion engines and has already handed over its first vehicle to customers in the Middle East region.
