MAN Truck & Bus is set to invest approximately $325 million (300 million euros) into the expansion and modernization of its European service network through 2030, marking the largest investment in the company’s history. A primary goal of this initiative is to minimize downtime for customers by making service centers more accessible. MAN aims to ensure that nearly 80% of its customers are within a 30-minute drive of the nearest service location. This target is being prioritized in key markets including Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, the UK, Italy, Spain, Poland, and Turkey. In regions with particularly high logistics density, the company plans to meet this goal by establishing entirely new service hubs.

According to MAN, the company already operates an exceptionally robust sales and service network. This infrastructure currently consists of roughly 1,200 company-owned and partner locations across Europe, supported by approximately 7,000 employees within MAN’s own operations. In Germany alone, MAN currently boasts the largest manufacturer-owned service network, with more than 340 locations. The upcoming investment will build on this foundation to further reduce travel times for fleet operators and ensure that professional assistance is never far away.
Beyond physical expansion, MAN is moving at full speed to prepare its service network for the transition to sustainable mobility. By 2026, two out of every three service centers are expected to be fully equipped to handle electric vehicles. Reflecting this shift, about one-third of the total $325 million investment will be dedicated specifically to e-mobility infrastructure and digitalization. These efforts are designed to ensure the network is as technologically advanced as the next generation of electric trucks and buses it will maintain.
