Origin of MAN Tractors

MAN trucks originate from the Federal Republic of Germany, a member of the European Union (EU). The MAN brand has a long history and is known for its high-quality products, favored in Germany and other EU countries. The development of high-quality transportation infrastructure in Europe has driven the use of super-heavy-duty vehicles, including MAN.

In Vietnam, the import of used trucks and tractors from developed countries such as Germany, Europe, Korea, and Japan is permitted by law. This stems from the fact that truck manufacturing technology in these countries meets higher standards than in Vietnam. Currently, Vietnam only allows the import of used vehicles with a production year no older than 5 years.

MAN trucks in Vietnam are imported as 100% new vehicles or used vehicles from Germany or Europe with a production year from 2015 onwards (as of 2020).
