Welcome to the era of emobility
The commercial vehicle industry as well as the transport industry are currently in the biggest transformation phase of their history. MAN is actively shaping this phase: With a clear strategy for drive technology transition towards the battery electric vehicle. And with the topic of sustainability officially and firmly enshrined in the corporate strategy, the path is heading to only one direction: The future.
At MAN FinancialServices we want to be at the forefront of positive change, and we are keenly aware of the part commercial vehicles can play in easing the ever-increasing weight of climate change. Making these vehicles feasible through financing is how we move forward; it’s our intent to provide a climate conscious alternative for every industry.

Electric trucks in use: DB Schenker puts the first ten of 150 MAN eTrucks into service
01-2025
On 29 January, DB Schenker, one of the world's leading logistics service providers and market leader in European land transport, took delivery of the first ten MAN long-distance electric trucks directly from the MAN Truck & Bus plant in Munich to join its fleet. Environmentally friendly and efficient, the MAN eTGX Ultra Low Liner perfectly complements DB Schenker's mega trailer fleet for optimised useful volume per tour.
During the handover of the first MAN eTGX, the two companies also signed a further letter of intent for the delivery of 50 MAN eTGLs. The all-electric 12-tonne truck for urban freight transport can be ordered from April 2025 and is intended to supplement DB Schenker's electric fleet in distribution logistics.

Sale of the new MAN eTruck starts
MAN eTGX for long-distance transport, MAN eTGS for distribution
10-2023
MAN Truck & Bus has launched sales of the first heavy-duty electric truck in its corporate history, marking another milestone in the decarbonisation of freight transport.
With the eMobility Center, MAN laid the foundation for the development of the new MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS high-volume electric trucks at its Munich plant around two years ago and invested heavily in preparations for mixed production of diesel and electric trucks. 50 prototypes have since been built, and around 4,000 employees from production and sales have been trained for the switch to electric mobility. At MAN's Nuremberg site, MAN is investing around €100 million in setting up battery production.

Already more than 500 order enquiries: MAN to launch electric truck for long-distance transport in 2024
07-2023
With the transformation to climate-neutral drive systems, road haulage is facing a groundbreaking change. MAN will start production of its electric long-haul truck in 2024. There are already more than 500 order enquiries. "The technological upheaval is in full swing. As early as 2030, half of our trucks registered annually in Europe should be battery-electric. For this to succeed, we need the support of politicians: in the Europe-wide construction of around 50,000 public truck charging points and a CO2 price that makes e-trucks more economical than diesel," said Alexander Vlaskamp, CEO of MAN Truck & Bus
