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, MAN is launching a country-specific “10 Years Edition”: it is now available to order in all participating markets and 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’ve 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 MAN organization, and an outstanding product, we were able to grow to more than 30,000 units sold in 2025,” says Daniel Holbein, Head of Business Unit Van at MAN Truck & Bus.
The MAN TGE marked a strategic milestone for MAN Truck & Bus in 2016. With its debut at the IAA Commercial Vehicles show, MAN expanded its lineup 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 MAN 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 Wrze?nia plant in Poland and its gradual rollout across Europe, MAN 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 customization program 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, MAN expanded its passenger transport offering, completing its minibus portfolio with the MAN TGE Coach and MAN 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. For improving driver working conditions and enhancing the protection of other road users, the MAN TGE Next Level was awarded the “Sustainable Van of the Year 2026” by the Italian publishing house Vado e Torno Edizioni.
To mark its 10th anniversary, MAN is also emphasizing 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.
