The company goes back to 1758, and incorporates several well known names including [[ERF]] (UK), [[Steyr]] (Austria) and shares in Volkswagen and [[Scania]]. MAN is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of engineering equipment and [[commercial vehicles]]. MAN supplies [[trucks]], buses, [[diesel engines]], turbine machinery, as well as industrial services and holds leading market positions in all its business areas. MAN AG is one of the top 30 companies listed on the German stock exchange (DAX). It is also the oldest company within the DAX. The company celebrates its 250th anniversary in 2008.<ref>[http://www.250-years-man.eu MAN AG]</ref> In 2007, its 55,000 employees generated annual sales of around €15.5 billion in 120 different countries. The company has joint ventures and other joint venture with local companies in India, Poland, Turkey, and the United States. MAN is securely positioned in the field of transport engineering, having won numerous prizes. Among those are the Truck of the Year award in 2006 as well as in 2008, the Bus of the Year award 2006, and recently, the German business Innovation Prize<ref>[http://www.innovationspreis.com/ German business Innovation Prize] (German)</ref> (Innovationspreis der deutschen Wirtschaft) in the Major Enterprises category for its innovative 32/40PGI gas engine.<ref>[http://www.man.de/MAN/en/Presse/Pressemitteilungen/index.html?qry=/MAN-XML-Content/Pressrelease/Aktuelle_Pressemitteilungen/080121_MD_innovationspreis.html MAN Diesel SE wins German business Innovation Prize] (2008-01-21)</ref> ==History== [[Image:MAN logo.JPG|thumb|200px|This logo is on the front of all MAN trucks and buses. The lion comes from [[Büssing]] AG, a company that MAN acquired in 1971.]] MAN traces its origins back to 1758, when the "St. Antony" ironworks commenced operation in Oberhausen, as the first heavy-industry enterprise in the Ruhr region. In 1808, the three ironworks "St. Antony", "Gute Hoffnung", and "Neue Essen" merged, to form the "Hüttengewerkschaft und Handlung Jacobi" (Iron Mining and Trading Company), Oberhausen, which is later renamed "Gute Hoffnungshütte" (GHH). In 1921, GHH bought up M.A.N., the South German predecessor of MAN. In 1908, the "Vereinigte Maschinenfabrik Augsburg und Maschinenbaugesellschaft Nürnberg A.G.", Augsburg (United Machine Works Augsburg and Nuremberg Ltd.), which came into being through the 1898 merger of "Maschinenbau-AG Nürnberg" (founded 1841), and the "Maschinenfabrik Augsburg AG" (founded 1840) was renamed '''Maschinenfabrik Augsburg Nürnberg AG''', Augsburg, or short M.A.N. The early predecessors of MAN were responsible for numerous technological innovations, such as the first German rotary printing press for newspapers, the first refrigerating machine "System Linde" (1873), and co-operation in the development of the [[Diesel engine]] 1893-97. [[Rudolf Diesel]]’s ingenious invention was in those years realized with the help of the engineers at the Maschinenfabrik Augsburg. In 1924, the company showed a diesel [[truck]] at the Berlin Motor Show, which was purchased in quantity by the Bavarian Post Office.<ref>''Great Trucks''</ref> During the 1930s, MAN marine diesels were produced under license in the U.S., and installed in the US Navy fleet submarines, where they proved troublesome and unpopular in the Pacific War.<ref>Blair, Clay, Jr. ''Silent Victory'' (Philadelphia: Lippincott, 1975).</ref> After the Second World War, M.A.N. GHH lost all its foreign operations and suffered heavy war damage. Allied Forces took control of all GHH companies and broke up the company, placing the steel production facilities into separate ownership. Thus the focus shifted towards the South German plants and commercial vehicles. In 1986, GHH was remerged into MAN with its headquarters in Munich. The MAN group took over the truck builder Steyr Nutzfahrzeuge AG of Vienna, [[Austria]] in 1991, Formerly Known as [[Steyr-Daimler-Puch]] AG, which also has truck building works in Turkey ([[MAN-A.S.]]) and [[India]] ([[Shakti-MAN]]).<ref>The World Encyclopedia of Trucks, by Peter J. Davies, pub by Select Editions, ISBN 1-84309-201-8</ref> On 18 September 2006, MAN made a €10.3 billion offer for a takeover of [[Scania]] AB, one of the leading truck and bus companies in [[Sweden]]. MAN AG bought 15.6% of the voting shares in Scania AB. [[Volkswagen Group]], Scania's largest shareholder, acquired a stake of 20% of MAN, and has since raised that stake to 29%. VW has a majority stake in Scania, owning over 51% of the company. It was widely expected that the two truck manufacturers would be combined, and that a combined MAN-Scania would also absorb Volkswagen's [[Brazil]]ian heavy truck operations. A more recent interview with VW CEO Martin Winterkorn stated that VW has no immediate plans to attempt to merge Scania and MAN, but he would also not rule out a MAN takeover of VW's Brazilian heavy truck.<ref>[http://uk.reuters.com/article/basicIndustries/idUKL1825367120080519 Reuters.com - VW won't merge VW, Scania and MAN brands - paper]</ref> It was also originally speculated that Volkswagen intended to acquire MAN Truck and Bus division by the end of 2008.<ref>[http://www.reuters.com/article/innovationNews/idUSWEB769220080305 Reuters.com - Volkswagen plans full MAN takeover in '08]</ref> This has not been officially confirmed and there has been no current action by VW in attempting to acquire MAN shares, or to buy the company's commercial vehicle division. [[Image:MANConstellation.jpg|thumb|right|MAN [[Volkswagen Trucks and Buses|VW]] [[Volkswagen Constellation|Constellation]] truck]] In 2008, MAN celebrates the 250th anniversary of the company, with a gala event in Munich, exhibitions in the Deutsches Museum in Munich, the corporate museum in Augsburg, and the Rheinisches Industriemuseum in Oberhausen. One highlight should be an "Oldtimer Truck Convoy" on a historical route from Munich over Augsburg to Nuremberg in June. ==Divisions/Subsidiaries/Joint Ventures== * [[GIAD Trucks]] - licensee in [[Sudan]] * [[Huanghai Bus]] - [[China|Chinese]] jv or licensee * [[MAN Auto-Uzbekistan]] - jv in [[Uzbekistan]] * [[MAN Diesel]] SE<ref>http://www.mandiesel.com MANdiesel.com</ref> ::[[2-stroke]] and [[4-stroke]] [[diesel]] and [[gasoline]] [[engine]]s: large marine and stationary diesel engines, engines for vehicles, industrial applications, [[power station]]s, [[yacht]]s, [[passenger ship]]s, [[ship]]s, and work-boats (tankers, tugboats, icebreakers), railways. * [[MAN Ferrostaal AG]] (roughly 20% of sales) ::Industrial services: projecting, delivery, assembly, including steel-based structures<ref>http://www.manferrostaal.com MANferrostaal.com</ref> * [[MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG]] ([[[MAN Truck & Bus]]]])(roughly 50% of overall sales; 88% of division sales come from European market)<ref>http://www.man-mn.com/en/en.jsp MAN-mn.com</ref> ::[[Commercial vehicle]]s: [[truck]]s (61% of group sales), aftermarket parts and service (18%), [[NEOMAN Bus|buses]] (14%), engines and components (7%) * [[MAN Turbo AG]]<ref>http://www.manturbo.com/en/index2.html MANturbo.com</ref> ::Turbomachines: [[compressors]] and [[turbine]]s for process industry and [[power generation]] worldwide; used in [[oil]] & natural gas, refinery, chemical & petrochemical, [[fertilizer]]s, industrial gases, iron & steel processing and [[mining]], power generation applications. * [[MAN Trucks India]] - formerly 50/50 jv [[MAN Force]] * [[MANAŞ]] - jv in [[Turkey]] * [[MAZ-MAN]] - 50/50 jv in [[Belarus]] * [[RENK AG]] :: Vehicle Transmissions, Industrial Gear Units, Marine Gear Units, Slide Bearings, Couplings <ref>http://www.renk.biz RENK.biz</ref> * [[Shaanxi Automobile Group]] - Chinese licensee *[[Sinotruk (Hong Kong)]] ("25% + 1 share" stake) ::[[Hong Kong]]-based subsidiary of [[China National Heavy Duty Truck Group|Sinotruk]]. * [[Volkswagen Trucks and Buses]] - purchased from [[Volkswagen Group]] in 2009 *[[Youngman-MAN]] - [[China|Chinese]] jv, one each with MAN *[[Youngman-Neoplan]] - [[China|Chinese]] jv, one each with MAN's Neoplan ===Former Divisions=== * [[Büssing]] in [[Germany]] * [[ERF]] in [[England]] * [[FSC Star]] in [[Poland]] * [[Gräf & Stift]] in [[Austria]] * [[OAF]] in [[Austria]] * [[Saurer]] in [[Switzerland]] ==Products - MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG division== ===Trucks and military vehicles=== [[File:MAN_TGA_26.390_truck_-_BU05_LRN_at_Rushden_2010_-_IMG_9310.jpg|thumb|A Modern [[MAN TGA 26.390]] tractor unit used to haul one of the exhibit low loaders at the [[Rushden Steam Rally]] in 2010]] [[File:MAN_TGX_26440_bls_XLX.jpg|thumb|A modern [[MAN TGX 26.440]]]] * [[MAN LE Series]] * [[MAN FE Series]] * [[MAN HX Series]] - military.<ref>http://www.militarytrucks.man-mn.com/en/Products/High_Mobility_Truck_System.jsp</ref> * [[MAN SX Series]] - military.<ref>http://www.militarytrucks.man-mn.com/en/Products/Extreme_Mobility_Truck_System/Extreme_Mobility_Truck_System.jsp</ref> * [[MAN TGL Series]], with [[hybrid]] trucks ( MAN TGL OPTISTRANG and TGL EDA). * [[MAN TGM Series]] * [[MAN TGA Series]] * [[MAN TGX/S Series]] * [[ERF]] - a UK only brand, bought from [[Western Star]] (which soon after became part of [[Freightliner]] LLC) in 2000 ;Specialist emergency service vehicle * [[MAN Hazmat tender]] * [[MAN Angloco foam tender]] * [[MAN Command unit]] [[Image:MAN_4-WD_tractor_-Driffield-_P8100528.JPG|thumb|250px|A MAN 4-wd tractor]] ===Buses=== [[Image:MAN_tractor_4-WD_axle_detail-P8100529.JPG|thumb|250px|MAN front 4-wd axle showing suspension and Differential]] ;See [[Wikipedia:MAN AG Buses]] for more details * MAN Lion's City|Lion's City city/interurban bus * MAN Lion's Classic|Lion's Classic city/interurban bus * MAN Lion's Regio|Lion's Regio interurban bus * Americana city bus * NM 223/283 * NL/ÜL 313/363 F (LF) * NL 202/232 (LF) * NL 262 R * NG 263/313/363 F (LF) * ND 243 F * 10.225 FOCL midi coach * 11.190 HOCL midi (LF) * 12.220 HOCL * 14.280 HOCL * 12.220 HOCL-NL * MAN 14.220 HOCL-NL * 16.200 * 18.220/ 260/ 280 HOCL-SL * 18.220/ 260/ 280/ 310/ 360 HOCL-SÜ * MAN 18.220/ 240/ 260/ 310 HOCL-NL (LF) * 18.260/ 310/ 360/ 410/ 460 HOCL * MAN 24.310|24.310/ 360/ 410/ 460 HOCLN * 28.310 HGOCL ==MAN Tractors division== [[Image:MAN_tractor_with_mid_mower_-_bath-_DSC01603.jpg|thumb|A small MAN tractor with mid mounted Mower, at the [[Bath and Southwest Tractor show]] 2009]] {|class="wikitable sortable collapsible collapsed" |+MAN Tractor Models !
