Technology leadership
Technology leadership is a strategic success factor for MAN. Constant innovation and transformation over the company's 250-year history have made us a pioneer in the transportation and energy industry. We maintain our position by recognizing future requirements early on and competently transforming these into new, revolutionary solutions.
Leading position in Europe
We uphold our leading position in Europe by concentrating on our customers' needs as well as our technological competence. Transportation and energy are key industries in the development of a sustainable economy. Through its innovations, MAN especially backs solutions that unite environmental and climate needs with economic requirements. Our mission is to be the most economical supplier of our products throughout their entire life cycle, after accounting for all of their environment- and society-related costs. Technology leadership is the requirement for this ambitious goal.
Gaining an edge through technological competence in emerging countries
To succeed in emerging countries, we develop products and solutions that are especially suited to the conditions in these markets. Our technological competence is our decisive competitive advantage. A good example of this can be seen in our truck variants, such as the TGS WW which is adapted to local conditions in our export markets. By transferring technologies originally developed for European standards to emerging countries, we offer customers throughout the world true added value. The development of our sales and production sites in growth markets also guarantees the greatest possible proximity to the customer and successful fusion of local know-how with proven leading-edge technology.
