What Happened
MAN Truck & Bus reported worldwide sales of 51,000 vehicles in the first half of 2026, up 8% year-on-year. This includes about 32,000 trucks (+10%), 3,300 buses (+2%), 16,000 vans (+6%), and nearly 6,000 engines (+17%). The German market lagged behind other European markets.
“The sales development shows that our broad product range holds its own in a challenging market environment. At the same time, battery-electric vehicles are becoming increasingly important for our customers.”
Electric vehicle sales rose 37% to about 1,100 units, comprising roughly 600 eTrucks and over 500 eBuses. From the second half of 2026, MAN will launch new battery-electric models for urban delivery, regional transport, and long-distance travel. The eTruck portfolio will range from light distribution trucks to heavy long-distance tractors.
The heavy-duty eTGX and eTGS models achieve ranges of up to 820 km depending on use, while the new eTGM offers up to 500 km for urban and regional distribution. Customer deliveries of the MAN Lion's Coach E electric coach, with a range of up to 650 km, are planned to start at the end of the year.

Why this matters
The results show that electric trucks and buses are gaining traction in a challenging market. MAN is expanding its EV lineup with new models for urban and long-haul transport, giving fleet operators more zero-emission options. This trend could accelerate the transition to electric commercial vehicles in Europe.
