Truck Care, a company within the EFL Group, has signed an agreement with MAN Truck & Bus Polska for the delivery of 250 new MAN TGX tractor units. The vehicles will be added to Truck Care’s long-term rental offer, allowing transport companies to gain access to a modern fleet along with comprehensive service support and pre-planned costs. This investment addresses the needs of the Polish TSL sector, which remains a European leader in road transport while simultaneously facing rising operating costs, a driver shortage, and increasingly stringent environmental requirements.
Polish enterprises currently account for 19.7% of transport work in the European Union, outperforming companies from countries such as Germany and Spain in this regard. They hold an even stronger position in international road transport, where their share is 32.7%, meaning that nearly every third tonne-kilometre in the EU is carried out by Polish hauliers.
However, such a strong position does not mean an absence of challenges. The model of competing primarily on costs is gradually losing its significance, and operational efficiency, fleet reliability, and the ability to invest without losing financial flexibility are becoming increasingly important for carriers. At the same time, the industry is facing cost pressures, a labour deficit, and requirements related to decarbonisation and carbon footprint reporting.
New MANs for Truck Care clients
Under the signed agreement, Truck Care will receive MAN TGX tractor units that meet current EU standards. The vehicles will be available to customers through a long-term rental formula. A full Truck Care contract can include not only vehicle financing but also insurance, transport tax, service, tyres, and additional maintenance packages.
For a transport company, the vehicle itself is only one element of the entire business. Equally important are its reliability, operating economy, driver safety, and efficient service support. That is why we were looking for a partner who meets these requirements. Cooperation with MAN will allow us to offer our clients modern tractors combined with full Truck Care support and, what is particularly important today, predictable operating costs throughout the entire contract period.
– says Silvestr Ochrimovic, CEO of Truck Care.
MAN is among the most frequently chosen manufacturers of heavy commercial vehicles in Poland. According to data from the Polish Automotive Industry Association, the brand also maintains a strong position in the tractor unit segment.
The delivery of 250 MAN TGX tractors with service contracts for Truck Care is an important project for us and a confirmation of the trust placed in our brand in the long-haul transport segment. Today, transport companies expect not only a modern and reliable vehicle but also solutions that allow them to effectively manage their fleet throughout its entire service life. Combining MAN’s products and services with Truck Care’s experience in long-term rental addresses exactly these needs.
– says Claus Wallenstein, Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus Polska.
Truck rental is becoming an increasingly important part of the market
The importance of rental in the heavy transport sector is growing. Since 2026, the Polish Vehicle Rental and Leasing Association has also included the heavy vehicle rental segment in its official analyses. The four companies forming the Truck Rental group, which includes Truck Care, represent approximately 80% of the Polish truck rental market. At the end of June 2026, their combined fleet totalled 11,200 vehicles.
The development of this model responds to the changing needs of carriers. Instead of committing resources to managing all aspects of vehicle maintenance themselves, companies can use a comprehensive service and more flexibly adjust their fleet to the number of contracts and the current market situation. In conditions of high operating costs and rapid technological changes, the predictability of expenses is becoming one of the essential elements of managing a transport business.
