MAN Truck & Bus is celebrating the tenth anniversary of its MAN TGE van.
Since its world premiere in 2016, the model has become a key pillar in the Munich based commercial vehicle manufacturer’s portfolio. To mark the occasion, the company is launching a country specific ‘10 Years Edition’– now available to order in all participating markets. It combines selected premium features in an attractive package.
The special edition makes entry into the TGE world even easier. Each participating market has created its own tailored version to bundle equipment that is locally relevant for customers. Distinctive features of the edition across all countries include ‘10 Years Edition’ badges in the radiator grille and on the steering wheel.
‘I have been proud and delighted to see the TGE gain more and more importance at MAN over the past ten years. Thanks to our highly trained service and sales teams, stronger integration within the organisation, and an outstanding product, we were able to grow to more than 30,000 units sold in 2025,’ said Daniel Holbein, head of business unit van at MAN Truck & Bus.
The MAN TGE marked a strategic milestone for the company in 2016. With its debut at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show, the manufacturer expanded its line up into the 3.0 to 5.5 tonne gross vehicle weight segment, positioning itself as a full range provider from vans to heavy trucks.
From the very beginning, the van’s strengths were clear: genuine commercial vehicle DNA, robust and modern engineering, and services and vehicle concepts consistently tailored to professional requirements. This combination still defines the TGE today.
With the start of series production in spring 2017 at the Września plant in Poland and its gradual rollout across Europe, the company laid the foundation for the model’s success. From early on, the TGE stood out for its wide range of variants, from panel vans with two wheelbases and three roof heights, to chassis cabs with single or double cabs, all the way to industry specific body solutions. At the same time, MAN transferred key elements from its truck business into the van segment, including the in-house customisation programme – MAN Individual – and its bodybuilder management.
In the years that followed, the versatility of the platform became increasingly clear. During the Covid-19 pandemic, mobile diagnostic vehicles based on the TGE were developed, enabling decentralized testing infrastructure. At the same time, the company expanded its passenger transport offering, completing its minibus portfolio with the MAN TGE Coach and TGE Intercity models. Growing production volumes underlined the TGE’s success, with the milestone of 100,000 units produced already reached in 2023.
In mid 2024, the ‘truck among vans’ took a major technological leap with the 2025 model year, known as ‘Next Level’. A new electronic architecture, enhanced driver assistance systems, and a completely redesigned cockpit significantly improve safety, usability, and digital connectivity.
To mark its 10th anniversary, MAN is also emphasising the importance of its service offering. A dense service network, the MAN Mobile24 roadside assistance service, and tailored maintenance and repair solutions ensure that vehicles remain ready for operation in everyday use.
