MAN eTGX electric truck by MAN Truck & Bus: status and timeline

MAN eTGX electric truck

Make battery-electric trucks practical for Europe's long-haul freight. With fast megawatt charging during the driver's legally required break, a truck can cover over 1,000 km a day, like a diesel.

DeployStage 4 of 5

Series production with 750 kW megawatt charging began July 2026; delivered in nine European countries.

Current obstacles

Few megawatt chargers yetMCS is only now entering the market; MAN calls the charging ecosystem at an important stage of introduction, so routes are limited.
Diesel still dominates salesAbout 600 electric trucks in H1 2026 against 32,000 trucks overall; diesel remains the vast majority of deliveries.

Physics limits

Batteries are heavy per unit of energyBatteries store far less energy per kilogram than diesel, so long range takes several tonnes of packs, trading payload for distance.
Megawatt charging needs big grid connectionsCharging several trucks at 750 kW each needs grid connections the size of a small factory's, which take years to plan and build.

How it works

3 parts

Battery

Modular packs on the frame

Four to seven packs (up to 623 kWh) sit along the chassis; operators trade range against payload, since every pack adds weight.

Charging

Megawatt Charging System

An MCS socket takes up to 750 kW (1,000 A at 750 V), double the 375 kW of car-style CCS, so six packs charge 20-80% in under 30 minutes.

Operations

Charge in the driver's break

EU drivers must stop for 45 minutes after 4.5 hours; MAN says MCS refills enough in that time for more than 1,000 km a day.

About MAN Truck & Bus

The team behind MAN eTGX electric truck

MAN Truck & Bus

Heavy trucks, buses, electric eTGX and eTGS

MAN Truck & Bus is a Munich-based maker of trucks, buses and engines, part of the TRATON group. It sold about 51,000 vehicles in the first half of 2026, including roughly 600 battery-electric trucks.

First European maker to build trucks with megawatt charging in regular production (July 2026).
Battery-electric sales rose 37% to about 1,100 units in H1 2026: ~600 trucks and ~500 buses.
Uses its own eTGX trucks for plant logistics, aiming at about 50 electric trucks by mid-2026.
