MAN's eTGX Electric Truck Targets 720 km Range at IAA 2026

MAN is using the IAA 2026 stage to put its long-haul electric credentials on display, presenting an eTGX variant that reaches a 720-kilometre range thanks to a newly developed battery pack. The figure stands as the company’s most concrete push yet toward making battery-electric haulage a practical replacement for diesel on intercity routes.

Battery capacity is only half of the equation for trucks that spend their lives on the road, and MAN is pairing the range claim with megawatt charging capability that can refill the pack in about half an hour. That combination — long distance plus short stops — is what the manufacturer frames as its core argument for operators weighing whether to electrify their fleets.

The announcement lands as European regulators and logistics companies continue to debate how quickly heavy-duty transport can move away from fossil fuels, with charging infrastructure and total cost of ownership still central to fleet decisions. MAN’s eTGX pitch is essentially that the technology gap is closing.

AutoVoltix will continue to follow how these range and charging claims translate into real-world performance once deliveries reach operators.
