Sales of vehicles made by Traton's brands increased by 12.6% from 271,200 units to 305,500 in 2022.

100 electric trucks - which enter production in the first half of 2024 - will be added to DB Schenker’s fleet by 2026, according to the agreement between the two companies.

'MAN SimplePay' allows the truck to automatically pay for fuel at the pump and forward the bill to the fleet manager, meaning that the driver does not have to pay manually by cash or card. 

Aksel, who was Chief Purchasing Officer for the Volkswagen Group, succeeds Stefan Gramse to the role.

76 Lion's City E buses - solo and articulated - will be delivered to Oslo at the end of 2023.

Around 120 battery packs with capacities of 18.6 kWh will be handed over to an unnamed energy storage firm, to evaluate whether used truck batteries are suitable for stationary energy storage applications.

The project, called NEFTON, is assessing whether fast megawatt charging can help battery-electric trucks to match the typical profile of a conventional truck used for long haul transportation, and measuring the impact that megawatt chargers would have on the national grid.

MAN displayed a battery electric truck for long haul operations offering a range of between 600 and 800km for market introduction in 2024.

The MAN eBus chassis is based on technologies from MAN’s proven Lion’s City E city bus built in Starawice, Poland.

Rudi Kuchta, head of MAN Bus says the company is to expand ICE city bus options, introduce 10.5m e-bus and launch world e-bus chassis in next two years!

With orders for more than 1,000 ebuses at 12m or 18m, MAN is to add a midibus to its electric low floor bus portfolio in 2023.

The return of the IAA (Internationale Automobil-Ausstellung) commercial vehicle show in 2022 is remarkable in itself, given that the last exhibition was held in 2018; the biannual event should have taken place again in 2020, but it was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
