MAN Truck investment in Poland

The MAN Truck & Bus factory in Niepołomice, Poland, has been the subject of conflicting developments regarding state support and expansion plans.

In October 2026, the European Commission blocked a Polish state aid package valued at approximately 116.3 million PLN intended for the factory expansion. The Commission rejected the proposal, which included a direct subsidy and a CIT tax exemption, ruling that Poland failed to prove the aid was necessary or proportionate. The Commission noted the support did not meet the required ‘incentive effect’ and could lead to excess production capacity.

Separately, MAN announced a 110 million euro investment into the Niepołomice facility near Krakow. This project, part of a larger 1.2 billion euro plan, focuses on chassis assembly using the TRATON Modular System. The company may benefit from corporate income tax exemptions of up to 33 million euros through the Polish Investment Zone program, provided specific requirements are met. Future goals for the site include transforming it into a fully integrated truck production facility by 2030.
