The European refrigerated transport industry has reached a pivotal moment with MAN's introduction of the eTGM electric truck platform at Transpotec Logitec 2026. This groundbreaking development addresses the urgent need for sustainable cold chain logistics solutions while maintaining the reliability and performance standards that temperature controlled shipping demands.
The MAN eTGM platform represents a significant leap forward in electric refrigerated transport technology. With an impressive 480-kilometer range and mechanical power take-off capability specifically designed for refrigeration units, this electric truck platform eliminates the traditional barriers that have prevented widespread adoption of zero-emission vehicles in the cold chain sector.
Technical Innovation Meets Cold Chain Requirements
What sets the eTGM apart is its comprehensive approach to refrigerated transport challenges. The truck's battery-electric drivetrain delivers consistent power to both propulsion and refrigeration systems, ensuring uninterrupted temperature control throughout delivery routes. This mechanical power take-off capability represents a crucial advancement, as it provides the reliable energy source that pharmaceutical and food logistics operations require for maintaining strict temperature parameters.
The 12-50 ton vehicle range covers the most critical segments of European cold chain operations, from urban last-mile delivery to regional distribution networks. This versatility positions the eTGM platform as a comprehensive solution for companies seeking to electrify their refrigerated fleets without compromising operational efficiency.
