With the new MAN eTGM, MAN Truck & Bus is expanding its all-electric truck portfolio to include a key component in the mid-range distribution segment. The 16-tonne truck with a range of up to 480 kilometres is celebrating its premiere at the Transpotec Logitec commercial vehicle trade fair in Milan on 13 May 2026, closing the gap between the lightweight MAN eTGL and the heavy-duty eTGX and eTGS series. For the first time, MAN is thus offering a consistent, uniform eTruck portfolio of 12 to 50 tonnes based on a modular, cross-series technology concept.
With its permissible gross weight of 16.01 tonnes (optionally 16.5 tonnes) and a chassis payload of up to around 10.6 tonnes, the MAN eTGM offers significant reserves for a wide range of bodies. As an all-electric truck in the over 16-tonne segment, customers in many European markets benefit from significant toll advantages.
At the same time, the use of the MAN eTGM enables a significant reduction in fleet emissions and supports transport companies in meeting regulatory requirements such as the EU CO₂ fleet targets for heavy commercial vehicles.
The MAN eTGM is consistently designed to meet the requirements of urban and regional distribution transport. Rising energy prices, stricter emission regulations and increasing noise restrictions make electrically powered commercial vehicles an economically and ecologically attractive alternative, especially in inner-city use. This is exactly where the new eTGM comes in – with a high payload, trailer operation with a gross combination weight of up to 33 tonnes, great operational flexibility and a particularly efficient electric drive train.
“With the MAN eTGM, we are putting the ideal electric solution for inner-city and regional distribution transport on the road right now. It is the logical conclusion to our eTruck portfolio and makes MAN a true full-range supplier of battery-electric commercial vehicles,” says Friedrich Baumann, Member of the Executive Board for Sales & Customer Solutions at MAN Truck & Bus.
Unified eTruck concept – developed for broad variety of applications
Like all MAN eTrucks, the eTGM is also based on the standardised, modular BEV modular system of the heavy-duty model series. The central drive unit, battery systems, high-voltage architecture and thermal management originate from the eTGX and eTGS development and have been adapted for the mid-range segment. The MAN eCD210 electric drive delivers 210 kW (285 hp) and a maximum torque of 800 Nm in combination with MAN TipMatic 2. The high recuperation performance ensures very good energy efficiency, especially in stop-and-go operation.
A modular battery system comprising two to four battery packs, offering a total usable battery capacity of up to 320 kWh, allows for a design tailored precisely to the specific application, thereby avoiding unnecessary costs and weight. Depending on the configuration, ranges of up to 480 kilometers are possible – ideal for demanding distribution and regional applications.
High variability, full ease of assembly
Typical MAN: The early and systematic involvement of body manufacturers was an integral part of development. Body-friendly interfaces, optimized wheelbases and the availability of a mechanical power take-off shaft (mPTO) – a real unique selling point in the competitive environment – enable the use of common series designs without complex adjustments.
Typical fields of application for the MAN eTGM include food and supermarket logistics, municipal applications, construction and waste disposal transport, and regional distribution transport. With the introduction of the MAN eTGM, MAN Truck & Bus is continuing its course of actively driving forward the transformation of the transport sector – with the right product at the right time.
MAN Truck & Bus at Transpotec Logitec 2026
At the Italian commercial vehicle trade fair Transpotec Logitec 2026 in Milan, MAN Truck & Bus will be showcasing a wide-ranging portfolio of applications – from heavy-duty long-haul transport, distribution and construction to light commercial vehicles and passenger transport. The focus is on expanding the range of electric vehicles, in particular the MAN eTGX for heavy-duty long-haul transport, supported by a high-performance charging infrastructure featuring MCS technology, and integrated into a comprehensive ecosystem comprising consultancy, digital solutions and services designed to support decarbonisation.
This is complemented by efficient conventional vehicles such as the MAN TGX D30 and exclusive Individual Lion S models. The range also includes versatile TGS vehicles for construction applications, the MAN TGL for distribution, and bespoke solutions based on the MAN TGE – from panel vans and special-purpose vehicles to minibus variants.
