MAN Truck & Bus Korea hosts Bodybuilder Seminar 2026

MAN Truck & Bus Korea successfully held its fifth annual Bodybuilder Seminar 2026 in Daejeon. The event brought together approximately 110 participants, including representatives from 22 domestic special-purpose vehicle manufacturers and various organizations such as the Korea Imported Automobile Association (KAIDA), the Korea Transportation Safety Authority (TS), and the Korea Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The seminar focused on strengthening technical cooperation and sharing expertise to improve the quality and safety of finished special-purpose vehicles. Attendees examined three new models: the New MAN TGX, two New MAN TGM cab chassis, and a New MAN TGX tractor. The program included technical guidelines, discussions on chassis frame structures, and expert lectures on industry trends.

A key highlight was the presentation of Level 2 technical certification certificates to major partners. This certification is part of the Certified Bodybuilder Program (CBP), which ensures manufacturers adhere to specific technical standards to prevent improper vehicle modifications and enhance safety. Peter Andersson, President of MAN Truck & Bus Korea, emphasized that vehicle quality and safety are achieved through the close collaboration between truck technology and the expertise of bodybuilders.
