MAN

MAN traces its origins back to the mid-18th century from metallurgical plants in North Rhine-Westphalia. The company received the name MAN at the beginning of the 20th century; it is an acronym for the words Machine factory Augsburg - Nuremberg. The company's 265-year history is rich in events, ups and downs. Currently, this automaker is very successful as a part of the Volkswagen Truck & Bus holding, which ranks third in Europe in terms of production. In 2021, the heavy TGX tractor unit topped the International Truck of the Year competition. Throughout the 46-year history of this European competition, trucks with a silver lion on the hood have taken the first place 8 times. Under the modest slogan Simply My Truck, MAN trucks combines German quality with extensive experience in mechanical engineering. The well-known trademark of Neoplan buses is under the control of this concern. The concern's headquarters is based in Munich.
