MAN - One Century

The foundation of a success story was laid when the first MAN truck was built in 1915. Vehicles like the MK and the F8 in the post-war era, the legendary 'Pausbacke' ('chubby cheek') during the period of the 'economic miracle,' the F90 and today, the TGA became icons of the road. MAN has set standards in the design, efficiency, and suitability for application not only of trucks but also of buses as well as in the introduction of state-of-the-art technologies. For example, MAN was the first commercial vehicle manufacturer to fit diesel engines to trucks in series production, thus contributing to a revolutionary increase in efficiency in the transport business. With numerous large-sized photographs, this illustrated book shows the triumph of MAN trucks and buses during the past one hundred years. Today, the MAN lion not only dominates European roads. It has become a global symbol of progressive technology, efficiency, and unbridled diesel power.
