MAN and Hylane expand partnership with 20 additional electric eTGX trucks

MAN Truck & Bus and Hylane are strengthening their partnership in electric heavy-duty transport. The two companies have signed a framework agreement for the rental of 20 additional MAN eTGX trucks, which will be gradually integrated into Hylane’s fleet and offered to customers of both companies.

The agreement follows the introduction of Hylane’s first battery-electric MAN eTGX in May 2026. The German rental specialist also operates two hydrogen-powered MAN hTGX trucks in the Netherlands, reflecting its strategy of offering different zero-emission powertrain technologies.

Founded in 2021, Hylane specialises in providing battery-electric and hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles through a rental model that allows transport operators to introduce alternative powertrains without purchasing the vehicles directly.

MAN eTGX: electric trucks for long-haul operations

The MAN eTGX is available with a modular battery system comprising four, five or six battery packs, offering a maximum battery capacity of 534 kWh and a range of up to 570 km, according to the manufacturer.

The truck supports CCS charging at up to 375 kW, while an optional Megawatt Charging System (MCS) enables charging power of up to 750 kW. A lowliner version is also available for volume-optimised transport applications using mega-trailers.

Through its rental model, Hylane takes responsibility for vehicle procurement, registration, maintenance, insurance and access to charging infrastructure. The company also assists operators in identifying suitable routes and managing regulatory requirements.

For transport companies, this approach reduces the need for upfront investment and transfers vehicle residual-value risk to the rental provider. The companies have not disclosed the financial value of the new agreement or a detailed delivery schedule for the 20 additional trucks.
