Three awards for MAN Trucks!
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Group was delighted to receive three prestigious prizes this year. This confirms that our success strategy – an optimum mix of quality, innovative technology and customer orientation – is exactly the right approach and also proves beyond doubt that you can rely on MAN Nutzfahrzeuge products and solutions.
Truck of the Year 2008
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Group was delighted to receive the coveted trophy "Truck of the Year 2008" for its TGX and TGS Series trucks from an international jury at the European Road Transport Show 2007 in Amsterdam.
Reliability, economy and comfort were the trendsetting criteria used in the development of both new truck series in the Trucknology® Generation. The Truck of the Year Award 2008 was not the only reward for the outstanding work of the MAN workforce... a huge amount of praise was heaped on the TGX and TGS Series trucks by both press and customers who also previously were able to experience both products.
This is the now seventh time that MAN has received the coveted "Truck of the Year" prize that has been awarded annually since 1977... a feat that has not been accomplished before by any other commercial-vehicle manufacturer.

Image Award 2008
The brand featuring the lion in its emblem is the undisputed number one in terms of standing and image. This is the result of a representative survey of 400 fleet managers in haulage companies and trade and industry which was conducted by the market-research institute TNS Emnid on behalf of the weekly magazine VerkehrsRundschau.
MAN Nutzfahrzeuge winning the Image Award is testament to the confidence shown by the market in the company. According to the Emnid study, the factors that shape a company's image include, as well as product quality and customer orientation, increasingly the environmental orientation of that company.
red dot design award 2008
The TGX and TGS Series trucks were awarded the highest accolade – "best of the best" – by the "red dot" jury owing to their outstanding design quality.
The "red dot design award" is internationally renowned and the prize – a "red dot" – is held in very high esteem in trade circles as a hallmark of quality design.
The jury assesses the products submitted using a range of criteria, e.g. innovation, functionality, quality of form, ergonomics, symbolic and emotional content and the self-explanatory aspect of a product.

Design Prize 2009 - Nomination
Our TGX and TGS model series are on the verge of winning yet another award. The Federal Ministry for Economics and Technology has nominated both for the Design Prize 2009. The product must already have been awarded a national or international prize to be nominated for this "prize amongst prizes". No other design prize has such stringent participation requirements.
Among the aspects assessed by the independent expert jury consisting of 10 members from the areas of industry, further education, design and media are design and technical innovation, design strategy, fitness for purpose, benefits and sustainability.
The decision will be made in September 2008 – and who knows, maybe our TGX and TGS model series will be among the triumphant winners on show at the Ambiente fair in Frankfurt in February 2009…
