What Happened
MAN Truck & Bus celebrates one year of series production of electric trucks, having manufactured around 1,300 units of the eTGX and eTGS models at its Munich plant. The production line flexibly assembles both electric and diesel trucks based on customer orders, with a daily capacity of about 100 trucks regardless of drivetrain. Over 5,000 employees have been trained in high-voltage technology to support the transition.
