MAN Truck & Bus has unveiled its new eTGM in a world premiere at Transpotec Logitec 2026 in Milan.
As a result of the 16-tonne truck launch, MAN is expanding its all-electric truck portfolio to cover the mid-range distribution segment.
The eTGM, with a range of up to 480 kilometres, is closing the gap between the lightweight MAN eTGL and the heavy-duty eTGX and eTGS series.
MAN therefore sees the addition of the eTGM as enabling it to provide a uniform eTruck portfolio of 12 to 50 tonnes based on a modular, cross-series technology concept.
With its permissible gross weight of 16.01 tonnes (optionally 16.5 tonnes) and a chassis payload of up to around 10.6 tonnes, the MAN eTGM offers reserves for a wide range of bodies. As an all-electric truck in the over 16-tonne segment, the new truck will present significant European toll advantages.
The MAN eTGM also offers reductions in fleet emissions and supports transport companies in meeting regulatory requirements such as the EU CO₂ fleet targets for heavy commercial vehicles.
The eTGM has been designed to meet a market sector where rising energy prices, stricter emission regulations and increasing noise restrictions make electrically powered commercial vehicles an economically and ecologically attractive alternative, especially in inner-city use.
Its high payload, trailer operation with a gross combination weight of up to 33 tonnes, great operational flexibility and a particularly efficient electric drive train see the new truck fitting in easily with the market.
“With the MAN eTGM, we are putting the ideal electric solution for inner-city and regional distribution transport on the road right now. It is the logical conclusion to our eTruck portfolio and makes MAN a true full-range supplier of battery-electric commercial vehicles,” said MAN Truck & Bus Member of the Executive Board for Sales & Customer Solutions, Friedrich Baumann.
Like all MAN eTrucks, the eTGM is also based on the standardised, modular BEV modular system of the heavy-duty model series. The central drive unit, battery systems, high-voltage architecture, and thermal management originate from the eTGX and eTGS development and have been adapted for the mid-range segment.
The MAN eCD210 electric drive delivers 210 kW (285 hp) and a maximum torque of 800 Nm in combination with MAN TipMatic 2. Its high recuperation performance ensures very good energy efficiency, especially in stop-and-go operation.
A modular battery system, comprising two to four battery packs, offering a total usable battery capacity of up to 320 kWh, allows for a design tailored precisely to the specific application. This avoids unnecessary costs and weight. Depending on the configuration, ranges of up to 480 kilometres are possible – ideal for demanding distribution and regional applications.
Typical fields of application for the MAN eTGM include food and supermarket logistics, municipal applications, construction and waste disposal transport, and regional distribution transport.
At Transpotec Logitec 2026, MAN Truck & Bus showcased a wide-ranging portfolio of applications – from heavy-duty long-haul transport, distribution and construction to light commercial vehicles and passenger transport.
The company’s focus was on expanding the range of electric vehicles, in particular the MAN eTGX for heavy-duty long-haul transport, supported by a high-performance charging infrastructure featuring MCS technology.
