MAN Truck & Bus is celebrating an outstanding achievement at the prestigious National Transport Awards in Spain: at the awards ceremony in early February in Madrid, MAN secured three of the coveted prizes – claiming a triple win across all key product categories. The MAN TGX D30 PowerLion was honored as “Truck of the Year in Spain,” the fully electric Lion’s Coach E received the title of “Coach of the Year in Spain,” and the MAN TGE with a Burillo body was named “Minibus of the Year in Spain”. “We are extremely pleased with this triple success. It clearly highlights our strong position in the Spanish transport sector and how well our vehicles are being received in the market and by our customers,” said Stéphane de Creisquer, Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus Iberia, at the award ceremony.
MAN TGX D30 PowerLion impresses with outstanding efficiency
The award for the MAN TGX D30 PowerLion recognizes, above all, the high efficiency of its newly developed driveline. At its core is the all-new D30 engine, featuring a maximum efficiency of over 50 percent, making it one of the most advanced commercial vehicle engines in the world. Combined with the also new MAN TipMatic 14 transmission and aerodynamic enhancements, the driveline enables fuel savings of up to five percent. This not only reduces CO? emissions but also sustainably lowers total operating costs for transport companies through reduced fuel consumption and CO??based toll systems.
MAN Lion’s Coach E – a milestone in sustainable travel
MAN also made a strong statement in the coach segment. The fully electric MAN Lion’s Coach E marks the beginning of a new era of zero?emission long?distance travel. As a battery?electric coach, it combines the proven quality of the Lion’s Coach product family with innovative electric technology. With a usable energy capacity ranging from 320 to 480 kWh, the vehicle can achieve ranges of up to 650 kilometers under optimal conditions. Modern NMC battery packs produced at MAN’s Nuremberg plant, proven eTruck technology, and aerodynamically optimized design ensure high efficiency and reliability. Series production is currently being prepared at MAN’s Ankara plant, with the first vehicles scheduled for delivery to customers later this year.
MAN TGE Next Level convinces with new electronic architecture
In the light commercial vehicle segment, the MAN TGE impressed in collaboration with Spanish bodybuilder Burillo. The 2025 model year of the MAN TGE, known as Next Level, has undergone a comprehensive technical upgrade. The entire electronic architecture has been redesigned, meaning the vehicle now features new control units, sensors, and cameras. This enables new and enhanced assistance systems and increases safety for occupants and other road users. The new, more comfortable driver’s cockpit comes standard with a digital instrument cluster, the central MAN Media Van touchscreen display, and an ergonomic multifunction steering wheel. The redesigned dashboard also provides additional space within the cabin.
About the Spanish National Transport Awards
The National Transport Awards were established more than 35 years ago by the industry magazines “Transporte 3” and “Viajeros”. A jury of 886 entrepreneurs from the transport sector and experts from the automotive industry selects the best vehicle introduced to the Spanish market each year across ten categories. Their decisions are based on a comprehensive assessment of safety, reliability, profitability, and efficiency.
