MAN Truck & Bus Polska, in cooperation with RMMV, has delivered 38 MAN vehicles ordered by the Ministry of National Defence.
As a result of a tender, an order was signed on September 5, 2012, for 30 MAN TGM 26.340 6×4 BB vehicles with Altech tipper bodies and 8 MAN TGM 26.290 6×2 – 4 BL vehicles with sprinkler-washer bodies. The latter vehicles will be operated at eight military airports, where their task will be de-icing, dust removal, and in short, year-round maintenance of the runway. For this purpose, they have been equipped with, among other things, 25-meter long lances, which will allow them to quickly and effectively carry out their assigned tasks.
The completed order is a huge success and a matter of prestige for MAN. It is one of the largest orders for MAN trucks for the military in all of Europe.
– We are extremely pleased that the Ministry of National Defence has decided to purchase MAN brand vehicles. It is a good choice. Our vehicles are perfectly prepared for work in all conditions and are known for their reliability. We are convinced that they will serve the Polish Armed Forces well – said Janusz Ciżyński, Director of the Business Center Key Account department at MAN, also responsible for military vehicles.
The tender won by MAN is also a confirmation of the long-standing good relations between the Ministry of National Defence and MAN Truck & Bus Polska, and proof that the company has a wide range of vehicles capable of fully meeting the requirements of tenders for the Polish Army. During the company’s 19 years of operation on the Polish market, MAN has repeatedly supplied the Ministry of National Defence with logistics vehicles such as the STAR 1466, STAR 266M, STAR 12.225, STAR 14.225, and STAR 1444.
