MAN is investing in its site in Krakow, Poland. Around 1.2 billion euros are set to be spent "far into the next decade," MAN announced. By 2030, MAN plans to primarily expand the Krakow plant with the funds and prepare it for the next generation of trucks based on the "Traton Modular System."

This includes the establishment of body construction and painting, as well as the expansion of cab equipment. For this purpose, MAN is building additional production halls for manufacturing painted bodies. Subsequently, around 270,000 square meters of production space will be available. Currently, it is around 130,000 square meters.

Two E-Trucks from Krakow as Early as 2026

In parallel, MAN begins production of fully electric vehicles in Krakow. Starting in mid-July 2026, the new 12-ton E-TGL will be fully produced at the site. Later that year, the new 16-ton E-TGM will also be added. The Polish plant will then become MAN's second site after Munich for manufacturing electrified trucks.

MAN CEO Alexander Vlaskamp: "With the investments in Poland, we are further expanding our presence in Europe. Krakow has played an important role in our production network for years. With the expansion into a full-scale plant and the start of series production of our electric light truck series, we are well-positioned in the industry's transformation and ready for the future."
