MAN e-truck: Jacky Perrenot makes significant commitment

“We’re proud to support the Jacky Perrenot Group in its decarbonisation strategy by delivering this first MAN eTGX,” said Jean-Yves Kerbrat, Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus France. “This initial firm order of our new eTruck generation in France marks a significant milestone for MAN in our efforts to accelerate the energy transition across transport fleets.” 

“We have been committed to decarbonising our transport operations for many years,” added Philippe Cuoc, Managing Director of the Jacky Perrenot Group. “Together with our partners – such as the manufacturer MAN – we are striving to develop the best solutions to achieve our environmental goals, which form an integral part of our overall strategy.” 

With a coupling height of just 950 mm, a very short wheelbase of 3.75 metres, and yet full battery capacity, the ultra low-liner eTruck MAN eTGX offers a range of around 500 kilometres. Thanks to its modular battery system, available with four, five or six battery packs, it can be perfectly tailored to suit any transport task. In addition to the standard CCS charging technology (up to 375 kW), it is also available with the new MCS standard
