Commercial transport technology developments
Overview
MAN and Scania continue to develop technologies to enhance efficiency and sustainability in commercial transport. MAN has expanded its electric heavy-duty portfolio, specifically with the eTGX electric tractor head. The largest version features a range of up to 720 km and can charge from 20% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes using high-power charging. To support long-haul operations, MAN is integrating the Megawatt Charging System (MCS), which offers charging powers up to 750 kW. Recent developments include the practical deployment of the eTGX in the Netherlands, where BUKO Transport has begun using a three-axle electric MAN eTGX for road construction projects at Schiphol Airport. This specific unit features a 445 kWh battery capacity, providing an estimated range of approximately 400 kilometers while carrying a gross weight of fifty tons. At the IAA Transportation 2026 exhibition, MAN unveiled next-generation eTGX models designed for increased efficiency. Through aerodynamic improvements and enhanced regenerative braking, these new models can achieve a range of up to 720 km when equipped with additional batteries in a 6x2 configuration. To support the transition to sustainable transport solutions, MAN aims to invest 700 million euros globally over the coming years. Beyond electrification, MAN is expanding its customization and traction technologies. The company introduced the Lion X edition and the Individual Black Package for the TGE model, offering rugged aesthetics and protective elements. A new Performance Kit for heavy-duty engines is also available, increasing power from 163 to 190 hp for construction and heavy transport tasks. In fleet applications, L’Ortye Transport has integrated three MAN TGX 18.480 4x2 tractors featuring Hydrodrive technology.
