Special vehicles with a gross weight of 250 tonnes are also part of the portfolio. However, MAN is not only a leader in heavy transport. MAN also sets new standards in terms of economy, efficiency and comfort when it comes to passenger transportation. No matter if this is regarding omnibuses for urban public transport or overland journeys, or coaches for long-distance travel.

In line this, MAN Truck & Bus offers their own customers special financing deals with MAN Solutions and a comprehensive range of single source services. Economic developmentDuring the financial year 2015, the MAN Truck & Bus Transport solutions division was able to reach a market share of 16.3% for vehicles over 6 tonnes in the European market. While the share of the European bus market for vehicles over 8 tonnes moved to 12.5%. The order volume ranged at around 10.1 billion Euro with a total turnover of 9.0 billion Euro. In addition to this, MAN Truck & Bus invested a total of 405 million Euros in the development of new products, as well as a further 185 million Euro into modernising and extending the infrastructure and own production facilities. Goals and strategic orientationThe strategic goals are set over the next 10 years and divided into three levels based on the changes in the global commercial vehicle industry. The first part is a comprehensive future programme to strengthen the business in the competitive environment. This also includes a sustainable improvement of the results, which is to be achieved by rigorous realignment of the truck production locations as well as the slimming down of numerous administrative areas. In a second part, we focus on our existing business. We will concentrate on markets and business sectors in which we will achieve an increase in volume and RoS. Our product development efforts will also focus on those products which will offer us the greatest potential in the future. In order to be able to meet the future requirements of our customers in terms of digitalisation, we need to extend our business with new business models. The third part is therefore entirely dedicated to the challenges of digital transformation and will include the development of new business models and strong mobility solutions.

Headquartered in Munich, Germany, MAN Truck & Bus produces trucks in the range from 7.49 to 44 t gvw, heavy goods vehicles up to 250 t road train gvw, bus-chassis, coaches, interurban coaches, and city buses. MAN Truck & Bus also produces diesel and natural-gas engines. The MAN acronym originally stood for Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG pronounced [maˈʃiːnənfaˈbʁiːk ˈʔaʊ̯ksbʊʁk ˈnʏʁnbɛʁk] or [-faˈbʁɪk-]), formerly MAN AG. Trucks and buses of the product brand MAN and buses of the product brand Neoplan (premium coaches) belong to the MAN Truck & Bus Group. On 1 January 2011, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge was renamed as MAN Truck & Bus to better reflect the company's products on the international marketLight truck collaborations with Saviem and VolkswagenFrom 1967 until 1977, MAN collaborated with France's Saviem, selling their light to medium duty trucks with MAN badging in Germany and certain other markets. After the end of this, a deal was struck with Volkswagen which lasted until 1993. Production of a truck using the Volkswagen LT body started in 1979 and ended in 1993 with 72,000 units produced. It was available with four engines and four wheelbases over its lifetime; there was also a 4X4 version called 8.150 FAE. FAE means "forward control" cab, all-wheel drive, single tyres so the F nomenclature means "forward control" cab. This series is usually referred to as the G90, from the most common model, but also as the "G"-series. In the United Kingdom it was originally marketed as the "MAN MT" series. The original lineup in the UK consisted of the 6.90 and the 8.90 (the first digit denoting the GVW in tonnes, the second for power in metric horsepower) and the 8.136 and 9.136. MAN AG supplied engines which were available in inline-four and inline-six cylinder engine configurations, with DIN rated motive power outputs of:
MAN replaced the G series with the L2000 and M2000 ranges. Several models of the MAN-VWCV and the VWCV LT ranges were marketed in Spain by Enasa as Pegaso Ekus, in a typical badge engineering operation. Peterbilt also offered this model with their badging, as the 200 or 265 model. VWCV and MAN shared the project development in accordance with the collaboration agreement as follows: Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles took care of:
NOTE the VW LT Mk 1 cabin was used for the MAN-VW range, the cabins are wider than the standard LT cabins so they can fit the truck chassis
MAN was responsible for:
MAN-VWCVs were built in Volkswagen's Hanover factory until other Volkswagen models took priority; they were then made at MAN AG's Salzgitter-Watenstedt factory. MAN-VWCV Range 6.90, 8.90, 6.100, 8.136, 8.100, 8.150, 9.136, 9.150 & 10.136. F & FAE are sometimes on the end of some of these model numbers.  |
