MAN Adds 16-Ton eTGM to Electric Truck Lineup
MAN introduced the eTGM at Transpotec Logitec in Milan, filling a 16-ton electric distribution slot with up to 320 kWh of usable battery capacity.
MAN Fills the Middle of Its Electric Truck Range
MAN Truck & Bus has introduced the eTGM, a battery-electric distribution truck aimed at urban logistics, municipal work, waste transport, regional distribution, and selected construction applications.
The truck was unveiled at Transpotec Logitec 2026 in Milan on May 13. It fills the gap between the lighter eTGL and MAN's heavier eTGX and eTGS electric models, giving the company a battery-electric truck range from 12 to 50 tons.
Payload and Range Are the Selling Points
The eTGM is rated at 16.01 tons, with an optional 16.5-ton configuration and chassis payload capacity of up to 10.6 tons. It can also support trailer operation with a gross combination weight of up to 33 tons, which makes it relevant beyond short inner-city routes.
MAN says the truck uses a modular battery system with two to four packs and up to 320 kWh of usable capacity. Depending on configuration and duty cycle, the company says range can reach up to 480 kilometers.
Bodybuilder Flexibility Matters for Fleets
The truck includes standardized interfaces, optimized wheelbases, and support for conventional body configurations. MAN also offers a mechanical power take-off to support hydraulic body systems such as tipper bodies, cranes, waste compactors, and hook-lift equipment.
That body integration point is important. Electric truck adoption in distribution fleets depends less on a headline range number alone and more on whether the vehicle can take the same bodies, routes, and uptime expectations fleets already plan around.
