MAN Truck & Bus has announced the revival of the historic Polish truck brand, Star, to supply the Polish military, fire services, and rescue organizations. Announced during the International Defense Industry Exhibition in Kielce, the new Star vehicles will utilize modified MAN TGS 6x6 all-wheel-drive chassis for non-combat military logistics and humanitarian use.

The project is being developed through Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles, a joint venture between MAN and Rheinmetall. To meet local content requirements, MAN plans to use its Niepołomice factory and collaborate with Polish suppliers for specialized equipment. This initiative positions MAN as a competitor to Jelcz, the current primary domestic supplier for the Polish military.
