MAN to invest €300 million in service network

MAN Truck & Bus SE plans to invest around €300 million in the expansion and further development of its European service network by 2030. The company intends to use this investment to create new bases in Europe, modernise existing locations, optimise regional coverage, further improve service quality, and continue to work intensively on making the network fit for electric mobility. At the same time MAN Truck & Bus reported robust results in fiscal year 2025 with an increase in sales revenue to €14.1 billion (+3%) compared to the previous year.

The sales revenue of €14.1 billion was made up by a rise in vehicle sale to 101,600 units (+6%). By 2025, electric mobility had gained further momentum at MAN. Sales of fully electric trucks and buses climbed by 168% to 1,970 units. Sales of city electric buses were up 118% on the previous year with more than 1,300 eBuses, a new record. In addition, more than 620 eTrucks have already been sold following the successful series launch of the eTruck in the summer. At the end of 2026, the MAN eCoach is also set to herald the age of electric mobility for coaches. The battery-electric coach celebrated its trade fair premiere last fall at Busworld in Brussels. Preparations for production are in full swing. At the beginning of this year, the company announced its intention to reduce costs with its "MAN2030+" program in order to be able to make significant investments in growth and innovation. MAN already has a network of around 1,200 MAN-owned and partner companies across Europe, with a total of approximately 7,000 employees. Furthermore MAN has more than 2,000 MAN service centres and cooperation partners. Friedrich Baumann, Executive Board Member for Sales and Customer Solutions at MAN, said: "In the future, for example, the distances customers have to travel to the workshops will be even 

shorter. The goal is for almost 80 percent of customers to have a travel time of less than 30 minutes to the next MAN service location. The most important markets in which this goal is to be achieved as a priority and before 2030 include Germany, Austria, and Switzerland, as well as France, Great Britain, Italy, Spain, Poland, and Turkey, among others. In certain regions with particularly high logistics requirements, the goal is to be achieved by creating new bases, among other measures. We are opening an average of seven new branches per year." Around one third of the planned investments totalling around 300 million euros will be channelled into electromobility and digitalisation. This comprises a bundle of measures: Sales and service staff in Europe are receiving training - around 8,000 employees. With several MAN-owned battery repair centres already in operation across Europe, the plan is to further expand the network of these centres and to tap into all European markets. As part of the cooperation with energy company E.ON, a large number of MAN service branches will be equipped with publicly accessible charging points for electric trucks, compromising up to 400 charging points at up to 170 locations in Europe.
