In spring, MAN announced plans to invest €300 million euros in its own network. Now, MAN’s dealers, service partners and importers are also planning to invest around €400m in their MAN service locations across Europe. Around one-third of the planned investments will specifically flow into electromobility and digitalisation – ranging from high-voltage training for service staff to battery repair centres and the establishment of publicly accessible charging points at MAN branches.
“The scale of these investments is unprecedented in MAN’s history,” emphasises Friedrich Baumann, Board Member for Sales and Customer Solutions at MAN. “This is a powerful programme from MAN and its partners, who, through their planned additional commitment, are clearly underlining their confidence in our products and the brand as a whole. Our customers will benefit from this, and we will be able to support them with even better service in the future.”
Charging network expansion in cooperation with E.On
It’s also been confirmed that the charging network expansion embedded in the programme is being carried out in cooperation with energy company E.On. Within the project, which was first announced in 2024, a large number of MAN service branches will be equipped with publicly accessible charging points for electric trucks. In total, the partners aim for up to 400 charging points at up to 170 locations across Europe, including up to 125 sites in Germany alone. MAN has already named Berlin-Wildau, Fürstenwalde and Karlsfeld in Germany, as well as Eugendorf in Austria and Čestlice in the Czech Republic, as operational locations. “Further stations will be opened in various markets later this year,” the manufacturer stated in spring, without providing further details at the time.
