MAN Truck & Bus is preparing for future growth in zero-emission technologies, among others, in spare parts supply. After just one year of construction, the global logistics center in Salzgitter was expanded according to schedule with a new construction phase. From here, the Munich-based company delivers spare parts for trucks, buses, vans, and engines to customers and workshops worldwide. With the expansion, the company aims to create the framework conditions for the rapidly growing product portfolio in the field of electromobility. The opening took place together with Michael Kobriger,
Member of the Executive Board for Production and Logistics at MAN Truck & Bus, and Salzgitter's Mayor Frank Klingebiel.
Michael Kobriger: “Our state-of-the-art logistics center supplies our customers and workshops in around 120 countries with parts for our vehicles at top speed from Salzgitter.”
12,000 Specific E-Mobility Components
Due to the ramp-up of zero-emission technologies, up to 12,000 specific e-mobility components such as batteries and other parts will be stocked in Salzgitter in the coming years. Several hundred e-trucks of the company are already rolling through Germany and Europe
– and have already covered more than two million kilometers locally emission-free. In addition, there are more than 2,000 fully electric buses. By 2030, around 50% of all newly delivered MAN vehicles are to be electrically powered.
Spare Parts for the Traton Modular System
Additionally, Salzgitter currently stores components for hydrogen trucks and the diesel powertrain PowerLion of the new model year 2025. In the future, the modular shared platform of the Traton brands, the Traton Modular System (TMS), will also have a significant share in the spare parts
range. Up to 15 years after the end of series production, all spare parts for MAN vehicles of all drive types are available in stock here – from the smallest screw to heavy engines and entire cabs.
The new hall construction covers 53,000 m2 – about seven football fields. This expansion increases the logistics center with its over 800 employees by almost a third to a total of around 235,000 m2. In total, more than 220,000 parts will be stored here, which can usually be delivered to workshops worldwide
