The MAN Trucks heavy truck assembly plant in Niepołomice near Cracow, Poland, marked an extraordinary milestone. It produced its 90,000th truck since opening.
The milestone vehicle was a MAN TGS 18.420 4×2 BLS – TS semitrailer truck, which was received by Marek Sachs, managing director of Polish transport company Sachs Trans. Sachs Trans already operates a fleet of some 50 vehicles with the famous lion on the front. They are mostly 460 and 500 horsepower MAN TGX EfficientLine 3 semitrailer trucks, though the company also runs MAN TGX 26.500 6×2/4 BLS tractor units for heavy-duty domestic and international transport services.
The semitrailer truck handed over on March 14 is one of 80 vehicles Sachs Trans has ordered this year, and is the 90,000th truck the MAN plant has produced since it began operating in October 2007. At the facility near Cracow MAN produces trucks of the TGX and TGS model series, which are shipped all around Europe. It also produces heavy truck models for markets outside Europe and overseas.
