Since 2019, the company has reduced greenhouse gas emissions at its sites (Scopes 1 and 2) by 67.9 per cent. MAN is thereby approaching its Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi)-validated goal of reducing site-related emissions by 70 per cent compared to 2019 levels by 2030. This is according to the company’s newly published Sustainability Report. The reduction is the result of a consistent transition in energy supply, infrastructure, and production processes.
MAN has increased its share of renewable energy through self-generation, long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), and the procurement of certified green electricity. Photovoltaic installations are being expanded across sites. In Munich, MAN is also preparing for the construction of a geothermal energy facility in order to progressively replace fossil-based heat and sustainably improve the greenhouse gas balance at its largest production site. In addition, the company is systematically modernising energy-intensive equipment and implementing further efficiency programmes in production. The increasing electrification of the company’s own corporate vehicle fleet also contributes to the reduction of emissions.
Electrification of the Product Portfolio
The Sustainability Report 2025 shows that over 95 per cent of MAN’s greenhouse gas emissions arise during the use phase of its vehicles. The fleet GHG output per vehicle kilometre of MAN-sold trucks, buses, and vans (Scope 3, Category 11) is to be reduced by 28 per cent compared to 2019 by 2030. Accordingly, the decarbonisation strategy is consistently focused on the electrification of the vehicle portfolio. In the 2025 reporting year, a reduction of 16 per cent compared to 2019 was achieved in this area.
With the start of series production of the battery-electric trucks MAN eTGX and MAN eTGS at the Munich site, the transition from testing to scaling has been completed. In 2025, MAN already sold more than 620 electric trucks, thereby supporting numerous transport and logistics companies in reducing their transport emissions.
MAN is also recording strong growth in the bus segment: fully electric city and intercity buses are in operation in many European cities. In 2025, sales of electric service buses rose by 118 per cent to more than 1,300 vehicles – a new record. With the MAN Lion’s Coach E, the company is extending its electric offering into the coach travel sector for the first time. The first battery-electric MAN coaches are expected to be delivered to customers across Europe by the end of 2026.
Overall, MAN increased sales of fully electric vehicles in 2025 by 168 per cent to 1,970 units. By 2030, approximately 40 per cent of MAN vehicles sold in Europe are to be fully electric.
Decarbonisation of Own Transport Processes
MAN is also driving the gradual electrification of its inbound logistics and, in 2025, issued tenders for the deployment of battery-electric trucks on an initial approximately 40 routes covering up to 165 million kilometres annually. Series operation has been under way since the beginning of this year.
In outbound logistics, MAN is working together with logistics partner VEGA International on an intermodal concept combining rail transport for the main haul and the MAN eTGX for the “last mile”. By the end of 2026, a further 30 to 40 fully electric trucks are to be deployed in vehicle delivery operations.
“The greatest lever for climate action lies in vehicle operation – and that is precisely where we are accelerating electrification. At the same time, we are demonstrating within our own sphere of influence that we deliver on our commitments: at our company sites, we have reduced emissions by 67.9 per cent since 2019. And we are also electrifying our own transport processes – from inbound to outbound. This is how we make climate action measurable: in business operations, in the use phase, and along the value chain,” explains Alexander Vlaskamp, CEO of MAN Truck & Bus.
Sustainability Anchored in Corporate Strategy
Under the motto “Simplifying Sustainability”, MAN has now published its Sustainability Report 2025. In addition to climate and energy topics, the report documents further progress, including in the areas of circular economy, supply chain responsibility, occupational safety, and skills development.
