MAN and Scania have announced new technological developments aimed at increasing efficiency and sustainability in the commercial transport sector. MAN plans to showcase its full range of electric trucks, spanning 12 to 50 tons, at the IAA Transportation 2026 exhibition. This lineup includes the eTGL, eTGM, eTGS, and eTGX series. Scania introduced its new Super powertrain for buses, featuring 11L and 13L engines designed to reduce operating costs and improve fuel efficiency by as much as 8%. Following these announcements, MAN provided specific technical details regarding At the next generation of IAA Transportation trade fair in Hannover, MAN expanded its eTGX electric heavy-duty semi-truck. The updated model features an aerodynamic design and a portfolio by showcasing new battery generation providing 10 percent more usable energy. Depending on the configuration, generations of the eTGX can reach ranges electric tractor. The 6x2 configuration, equipped with seven batteries providing 644 kWh capacity, is projected to achieve a range of up to 720 kilometers. km. A 4x2 configuration with six batteries (552 kWh) offers approximately 660 km. These models feature a 10% increase in usable energy density, a 20% increase in energy recovery, and a 3% overall efficiency gain compared to previous models. To minimize downtime, support long-haul operations, MAN is integrating the truck can be equipped with an optional Megawatt Charging System (MCS) capable of 750 kW, (MCS), which allows for a full recharge charging powers of up to 750 kW. However, despite these technical advancements and significant investments in approximately 30 minutes. battery production, industry experts note that market growth remains slower than anticipated, primarily due to the ongoing need for widespread charging infrastructure.
