Corona development: MAN Truck & Bus stops production

Summary

Due to increasing risks from accelerated corona development and the break in the supply chain, MAN Truck & Bus sees itself forced to temporarily halt production at its Munich location from March 19, 2020.

The health and safety of its employees is a top priority for MAN. Due to the rapidly increasing spread of the corona virus, the risk to each and every one continues to rise. MAN's management therefore sees itself forced to cease production at the Munich site from March 19, 2020. Production at the other plants will be shut down individually.

MAN is constantly reassessing the situation and reacting accordingly. Due to developments in connection with the corona pandemic, MAN announced on March 17, 2020, short-time working for its German locations from March 23, 2020, and informed its workforce about these measures.

Production will also be scaled back at non-German plants. MAN is doing everything in its power to maintain full operation of its sales and service locations worldwide as long as the overall situation allows, in order to secure supply chains.
