MAN electric trucks: Welcome to the era of eTrucks

Two MAN electric trucks driving on a road

Advantages of an electric truck

  • Economical
    Electric trucks have lower variable operating costs than comparable diesel trucks and, depending on the individual circumstances, the total cost of ownership can reach parity in as little as four years.
  • Reliable
    eTrucks provide the high-voltage batteries with the very best protection in the event of an accident. What’s more, the batteries are monitored and have an emergency shut-off.
  • Environmentally friendly and silent
    Electric trucks are not just free of CO2 and pollutants – the noise emissions are also significantly lower than diesel trucks.

A step into the future with the new MAN electric trucks

The new MAN electric trucks are here: MAN is simplifying your journey towards electrification with its most environmentally friendly and intelligent vehicles to date. In addition to an emission-free driveline and a daily range of up to 800 kilometres, the new generation of MAN eTrucks offer excellent handling and simple operation. What’s more, MAN is opening the door to the future of an intelligently connected e-mobility ecosystem, which supports you with your daily work using digital solutions.

6 advantages of a MAN electric truck

At just 3,750 mm, the MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS have the shortest wheelbases among semitrailer tractors on the market – while offering a battery capacity of up to 480 kWh and a high fifth-wheel coupling load. This means that you can combine your eTruck with ISO or special trailers without exceeding the total truck length of 16.50 m. We also have chassis with a wheelbase of 3,750 mm to 5,950 mm – and PTOs are also available.

What really sets the MAN eTGL apart is its compact cab – there is just one step, which means you can climb in and out safely in busy traffic. At 4,500 mm, the wheelbase is designed for optimum manoeuvrability and good weight distribution. In addition, the eTruck boasts a low top edge of frame due to its 17.5-inch tyres.

Low design, high efficiency: With a minimum height of 953 mm, the MAN ultra semitrailer tractor is ideal for semitrailers with an internal height of 3,000 mm and a volume of up to 100 m3. This makes it perfect for just-in-time/just-in-sequence deliveries in the automotive sector, where the maximum use of space is particularly important.

Bespoke battery configuration: Thanks to our intelligent battery box, you can choose between three to six battery packs (four to six for semitrailer tractors) for the MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS depending on your individual requirements and specification. Whether you need a greater payload/fifth-wheel coupling load while keeping the procurement costs to a minimum or a higher range, you are in complete control. What’s more, body manufacturers have been included in the development process right from the outset. As a result, aspects such as gaps in the frame for hydraulic supports for front crane applications were considered from an early stage. The MAN eTGL comes with two battery packs as standard.

MAN identified battery development as the key to e-mobility and developed cellular chemistry optimised specifically for commercial vehicle applications. Even battery production remains in-house: The batteries are produced at our MAN site in Nuremberg – meaning you benefit from the Made in Germany quality seal and state-of-the-art battery technology specifically for commercial vehicles with real-world ranges. With a forecasted effective useful life of up to 1.6 million kilometres or up to 13 years (depending on the type of use), the batteries are also extremely long-lasting.

Charge your MAN eTruck in no time: The Combined Charging System (CCS) provides a maximum charging capacity of 375 kW for the MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS, or 250 kW for the MAN eTGL, keeping charging times to a minimum. It’s even quicker for the MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS with Megawatt Charging System (MCS), which boasts an output of up to 750 kW. On top of this, the four possible charging positions on the vehicle make your life even easier – in line with our motto of ‘Simplifying business’.

To make your step into the world of e-mobility as easy and successful as possible and to ensure you can plan for all eventualities, our 360° e-mobility support service means that we are always right by your side. In addition, our flexible MAN e-mobility service options give you the peace of mind you need, for example with a three-year guarantee on the driveline, repair and maintenance contracts including a tyre service or individual purchase warranties.

Charging your electric truck – on-site and across Europe

When it comes to charging an eTruck, there are two options: the private infrastructure at your company site or public charging facilities. In both cases, MAN works together with renowned partners such as ABB, Heliox and SBRS.
They provide charging solutions across Europe tailored to the respective system. The Combined Charging System (CCS) charges with up to 375 kW, while the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), which is connected to the electric truck’s cooling system, supplies up to 750 kW.

Charging infrastructure

When the eTruck is parked on your company site overnight, you can easily completely recharge it. However, if the electric truck needs to cover long distances and you need to rely on public charging facilities, there is a useful tool: MAN SmartRoute simplifies route planning for the new MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS – and gives you the confidence to trust the electric range.

What does a MAN eTruck cost?

MAN electric trucks

The purchase price of an electric truck is higher than that of a diesel one. However, you always have to put the high up-front costs in perspective, as an electric truck really comes into its own in the long run with significantly lower variable operating costs. This is where the lower energy and service costs, the carbon tax and toll charges, as well as state subsidies play a major role – as you can see with the example in the table below. Depending on your individual circumstances, you can achieve TCO parity with a MAN eTruck in as little as four years.

Plus, MAN is on-hand to offer advice and support on finance options to help with the high initial costs and setting up the internal company infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions about electric trucks

If you use your break times (approx. 45 minutes) wisely for top-up charging, daily ranges of between 600 and 800 kilometres are possible with the MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS. Obviously, this requires a battery capacity of 480 kWh, the maximum available on a MAN eTruck. In the future, daily ranges of up to 1,000 kilometres will be possible. The practical MAN eTGL, on the other hand, can cover up to 235 kilometres a day on average with a potential battery capacity of up to 160 kWh.

The new MAN eTruck generation will feature the MAN eTGX, MAN eTGS and MAN eTGL models. Depending on the intended use, you can chose different cabs and primary applications for the MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS lines – from refrigerated bodies and platform bodies with loading cranes right through to ultra semitrailers, nearly all known applications can be electrified with the MAN eTrucks. The MAN eTGL is available with a dry-freight box body with or without liftgate depending on your requirements.

There are several options for charging an electric truck. With the Combined Charging System (CCS), you can charge the MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS with up to 375 kW and the MAN eTGL with up to 250 kW. There’s also the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), which is connected to the electric truck’s cooling system and supplies up to 750 kW for the MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS.

The consumption of a MAN electric truck depends on various factors, such as weather, temperature, payload, topography of the route and type of road (country road, motorway, urban).

With a 480 kWh battery and a charging break of approx. 45 minutes, a MAN eTruck can travel 600 to 800 kilometres per day.
