Away from Tesla’s antics and Mercedes’s technological demonstrations, MAN asserts itself as the top student in the heavy-duty truck class.
About seven months after the launch of sales, nearly 2,000 orders and requests for quotes have already been recorded by MAN for its new electric models eTGX and eTGS. These models have captivated professionals with their technical specifications, as well as a very wide range of configurations allowing for more than a million possible variants with a great variety of wheelbases, cabins, engine power, battery pack combinations, and equipment for special applications.
MAN has recently received its largest order to date in France, where Jacky Perrenot, a major player in the large-scale distribution transport sector in France, has just ordered 100 electric MAN tractors and trucks. The manufacturer expects that electromobility will continue to advance rapidly and predicts that half of the new MAN trucks delivered in Europe will be electric by 2030.
Not yet produced, already sold
The volumes may seem small compared to those of automobile manufacturers, but when related to the number of vehicles in circulation, they are actually significant. Thus, the pre-series of MAN electric trucks, which will be produced this year, is nearly sold out, with only a few vehicles remaining. A large portion of the orders and requests for quotes already concerns vehicles that will be produced on a large scale at the MAN factory in Munich starting in 2025. To this end, the company will carry out the final transformation work at its main production site this summer to “electrify” the factory. With the very short-term prospect of more than a year of production already sold, the diligent student has bright days ahead.
