GLOBAL. Further boost for e-mobility through MAN FinancialServices
Rollout of MAN FinancialServices under the umbrella of TRATON Financial Services is progressing rapidly
Financing an integral part of MAN's offering
MAN Truck & Bus Chief Sales Officer Friedrich Baumann: “We want to make it easier for customers to get started with e-mobility. In future, we will offer everything from a single source: vehicles, financing, leasing and insurance solutions and 360-degree advice.”
Seven countries already active and further markets planned
MAN Truck & Bus continues to accelerate the pace of e-mobility. The entry into e-mobility will initially result in higher financing requirements for customers – even though the total cost of ownership of commercial e-trucks is lower over their life cycle than that of diesel trucks. In order to provide customers with the best possible support with financing solutions, the rollout of MAN FinancialServices under the umbrella of TRATON Financial Services is running at full speed.
The launch has already taken place in Germany, Spain, Poland, South Korea, Austria, Sweden and South Africa. Two further important markets, the UK and Ireland, will follow this fall. In 2025, the rollout will take place in Italy, France, Portugal and Mexico. Further markets are to follow. MAN FinancialServices will also be able to leverage many synergies with the Group's other brands through its integration into TRATON Financial Services.
MAN Truck & Bus Chief Sales Officer Friedrich Baumann: “We want to make it easier for our customers to get started with e-mobility and offer them everything from a single source: Vehicles, financing, leasing and insurance solutions and 360-degree advice. With MAN FinancialServices, they have the best possible partner for all financing issues relating to trucks, buses, vans and used vehicles. Of course, all our customers who continue to rely on conventionally powered vehicles also benefit from this.”
Gerard van Keulen, Head of MAN FinancialServices: “As an integrated part of our offerings, MAN FinancialServices is a great advantage for our customers, because the commercial vehicle business follows different rules to the passenger car business, for example. And unlike conventional banks or financial service providers, we know the business models and requirements of transport companies in detail. With this strategic step, we can offer our customers even better industry-specific and tailor-made products for sustainable mobility.”
