MAN Truck & Bus AG (Ein Unternehmen der MAN Gruppe)
MAN Truck & Bus SE is a European Company (Europäische Aktiengesellschaft, Societas Europaea) registered in Germany on the commercial register of the Amtsgericht München, Abteilung B, under register number HRB 247520. The register sheet is current (aktuell): the current register content retrieved on 6 October 2026 records 40 entries, the most recent dated 11 May 2026. A current register sheet records registration status only and is not in itself evidence that the company is trading.
The company name stored for this page, “MAN Truck & Bus AG (Ein Unternehmen der MAN Gruppe)”, is not a registered legal name. The registered name is MAN Truck & Bus SE. The parenthetical phrase is German marketing copy meaning “a company of the MAN Group” and forms no part of any name on the register. The register number shown elsewhere on this page, HRB 86963 München, is the company’s former number: that sheet is closed (geschlossenes Registerblatt), and the name recorded on it when it closed was MAN Truck & Bus AG.
The register records the following registration history. The predecessor sheet HRB 86963 gives a date of first entry (Tag der ersten Eintragung) of 24 September 1997, and records that the company on that sheet arose by conversion of MAN Nutzfahrzeuge GmbH (Amtsgericht München HRB 77631); its first recorded name was MAN Nutzfahrzeuge Aktiengesellschaft. The name was changed to MAN Truck & Bus AG by resolution of the general meeting of 17 November 2010 amending section 1 of the articles, entered on 28 December 2010. By resolution of the general meeting of 25 February 2019 the company changed its legal form (formwechselnde Umwandlung) into MAN Truck & Bus SE; the change was entered on 18 March 2019 on a new sheet, HRB 247520, and HRB 86963 was closed on the same date. A change of legal form of this kind does not create a new legal person. The current articles are dated 25 February 2019 and were last amended by resolution of 29 September 2025. No date of 1 January 1980 appears anywhere on either sheet.
Share capital is EUR 320,000,500.00. The register shows the capital at EUR 320,000,000.00 on conversion in 2019, followed by increases of EUR 100.00, EUR 100.00 and EUR 300.00 entered on 30 December 2019, 21 January 2021 and 20 December 2021 respectively.
The company’s registered seat (Sitz) is Munich and its registered domestic business address (inländische Geschäftsanschrift) is Dachauer Str. 667, 80995 Munich. The register records no branch establishments (Zweigniederlassungen). The sources consulted describe this as the registered address and do not characterise it as a headquarters.
The registered objects of the company (Gegenstand des Unternehmens) are the manufacture of vehicles of all kinds, in particular trucks and buses and parts thereof, trade in such products, and their after-sales service.
Developments reported for the MAN brand in the 2025 financial year, with the dates as given in that reporting: production of a new 13-litre MAN D30 diesel engine began at the Nuremberg plant in February 2025; battery production began at Nuremberg in April 2025, with an investment of around EUR 250 million; and series production of battery-electric heavy-duty trucks began at the Munich plant in June 2025, on the same production line as diesel trucks in a mixed production process. These are published at brand level. The sources consulted do not attribute those sites to a named legal entity, so they are not stated here as this entity’s own.
On reported operating scale, entity-level equity of EUR 564,841 thousand (EUR 564.8 million) is given for the 2025 financial year in a list of shareholdings prepared under section 313(2) of the German Commercial Code (HGB), and no separate annual result is shown for the entity in that list. No entity-level revenue or employee figure was identified in the sources consulted; annual financial statements of German companies are filed with the Unternehmensregister, and the segment and brand figures published at group level cover a number of companies and are not this legal entity’s figures.
No admission of this entity’s own shares or other securities to trading on a regulated market was identified in the sources consulted.

Shareholders
Shareholders of MAN Truck & Bus SE
The German commercial register does not publish a shareholder list for a European Company (SE) or an Aktiengesellschaft; a Gesellschafterliste is filed only by a GmbH. Shareholder evidence for this company therefore comes from a filed list of shareholdings and from the control relationship recorded on the register itself.
| Shareholder | Identifier | Interest | Basis |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRATON SE, Munich | Amtsgericht München HRB 246068 | 100.00% equity interest (share capital), 2025 financial year | Reported in TRATON SE’s list of shareholdings under section 313(2) HGB, which also gives this company’s equity as EUR 564,841 thousand for 2025 and flags it as subject to a profit and loss transfer agreement |
The current register content for HRB 247520 separately names TRATON SE, Munich (Amtsgericht München HRB 246068), as the controlling company (herrschende Gesellschaft) under a domination and profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und Gewinnabführungsvertrag) dated 17 December 1985. That is a filed, dated contractual control relationship, and it is independent of the question of who holds the shares.
The 100.00% figure is an equity interest in share capital, as stated in the list of shareholdings. That list does not distinguish a direct from an indirect holding, and TRATON SE describes itself as the “direct or indirect” parent company of MAN Truck & Bus SE. Whether the shares are held by TRATON SE itself or through an intermediate company is therefore not established by the sources consulted.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No natural person is identified as holding a controlling interest in this company. It is wholly held within a listed group, and the honest answer names the ultimate parent rather than a person. The chain disclosed in TRATON SE’s 2025 reporting is: TRATON SE holds a reported 100.00% equity interest in MAN Truck & Bus SE; Volkswagen International Luxemburg S.A., Strassen, Luxembourg, is disclosed as the direct parent of TRATON SE and held 87.52% of TRATON SE’s share capital at the 31 December 2025 reporting date (89.72% in the prior year); and Volkswagen International Luxemburg S.A. is an indirect subsidiary of Volkswagen AG. Volkswagen AG is the ultimate parent.
Multiplying through that chain gives a calculated effective indirect interest for Volkswagen International Luxemburg S.A. in MAN Truck & Bus SE of 87.52% of share capital. This is a calculated effective percentage, not a filed figure. Both inputs are stated at the same 2025 reporting date. TRATON SE states that its subscribed capital of EUR 500,000,000 is divided into 500,000,000 no-par-value bearer shares and that all shares convey the same rights, so the share-capital percentage also reflects voting rights at that level.
TRATON SE discloses Porsche Automobil Holding SE, Stuttgart, as having significant influence on the Volkswagen Group’s operating policy decisions within the meaning of IAS 28, while also stating that Volkswagen AG, Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche Aktiengesellschaft and TRATON SE do not form a group with Porsche Automobil Holding SE within the meaning of the German Stock Corporation Act. On that disclosure, no entity above Volkswagen AG is recorded as a parent of this company, and Porsche Automobil Holding SE is not named here as a beneficial owner.
Access to the German Transparenzregister, the beneficial-ownership register, is restricted to obliged entities and applicants demonstrating a legitimate interest, so no beneficial-owner filing for this company was examined.
Data availability
Full for the direct shareholder: a single holder of a 100.00% equity interest is identified from a filed list of shareholdings and corroborated by the control relationship recorded on the register. Restricted for beneficial ownership, because the Transparenzregister is not publicly accessible. The absence of a shareholder list on the commercial register reflects the legal form and is not evidence that the company has no owners.

Officers
Directors and officers of MAN Truck & Bus SE
The commercial register records the members of the Leitungsorgan (management body) of the SE. The current register content for HRB 247520, retrieved 6 October 2026, records seven members. Roles are given below in the register’s own terms with an English gloss. The register does not record nationality for any of them; it records a place of residence, which is personal data and is not reproduced here. Place of residence, nationality and correspondence address are separate matters and none is inferred from another or from a name.
| Name | Register role | Portfolio per the company’s own disclosure |
|---|---|---|
| Alexander Vlaskamp | Vorsitzender des Leitungsorgans (chair of the management body) | Chief Executive Officer |
| Hubert Altschäffl | Mitglied des Leitungsorgans (member of the management body) | Human Resources and Labour Director |
| Friedrich Baumann | Mitglied des Leitungsorgans (member of the management body) | Sales and Customer Solutions |
| Karl Bernqvist | Mitglied des Leitungsorgans (member of the management body) | Procurement |
| Michael Kobriger | Mitglied des Leitungsorgans (member of the management body) | Production and Logistics |
| Inka Koljonen | Mitglied des Leitungsorgans (member of the management body) | Finance, IT and Law |
| Dr Frederik Zohm | Mitglied des Leitungsorgans (member of the management body) | Research and Development |
The general rule of representation recorded on the register is that the company is represented by two members of the Leitungsorgan, or by one member of the Leitungsorgan jointly with a Prokurist (holder of a statutory commercial power of attorney). The register further records 53 individuals holding Gesamtprokura, exercisable jointly with a member of the Leitungsorgan or with another Prokurist. They are not listed individually here. A Prokurist is an authorised signatory, not a director, and the two roles are not merged.
The Aufsichtsrat (supervisory board) of an SE is not recorded on the commercial register. MAN Truck & Bus SE’s own published management disclosure names Christian Levin as chair of the Aufsichtsrat and Jürgen Kerner as deputy chair, and shows a board composed of shareholder representatives and employee representatives. No supervisory board member is named here as an officer of the company, and none of the individuals above is stated to be a member of both bodies.
No corporate body or legal entity is recorded as an officer of this company.
Recent officer changes
- Karl Bernqvist appointed to the Leitungsorgan and Murat Aksel ceased to be a member — entered on the register 13 November 2025 (entry 38, HRB 247520). The company’s own disclosure gives 1 October 2025 as the date of Mr Bernqvist’s appointment, so the register date is the date of entry, not the effective date.
- Hubert Altschäffl appointed to the Leitungsorgan and Arne Puls ceased to be a member — entered on the register 21 May 2024 (entry 28, HRB 247520).
- Murat Aksel appointed to the Leitungsorgan and Stefan Gramse ceased to be a member — entered on the register 1 February 2023 (entry 23, HRB 247520).
Data availability
Full for the management body and for holders of Prokura. Contrary to any statement that officer data is unavailable for this jurisdiction, the German commercial register publishes both the current composition of an SE’s management body and the complete chronological record of changes; for this company that record runs to 40 entries. Each person recorded as having ceased to hold office carries the register entry date on which the departure was recorded, and no person listed above as current is shown on the register as having ceased to hold office. Not public for the Aufsichtsrat so far as the register is concerned; the composition above is taken from the company’s own disclosure. Register dates are dates of entry and can postdate the effective date of a change, as the November 2025 entry shows.

Group structure of MAN Truck & Bus SE
Each relationship below rests on an official filing. Shared names, shared branding, a shared address or a shared director are not treated as evidence. In particular, the group reference inside this page’s stored title, “Ein Unternehmen der MAN Gruppe”, is marketing copy captured into a name field and is not evidence of any corporate relationship.
| Entity | Identifier | Relationship | Filing and date |
|---|---|---|---|
| TRATON SE, Munich | Amtsgericht München HRB 246068, status aktuell | Immediate parent and controlling company | Current register content for HRB 247520 records TRATON SE as the controlling company under the domination and profit transfer agreement of 17 December 1985; the continuation of that agreement with TRATON SE was entered on 22 September 2021 (entry 15). A 100.00% equity interest for the 2025 financial year is reported in TRATON SE’s list of shareholdings under section 313(2) HGB. |

| MAN SE, Munich | Amtsgericht München HRB 179426, geschlossenes Registerblatt | Historical immediate parent and former controlling company; no longer exists | Was the controlling company under the 17 December 1985 domination and profit transfer agreement. Merged into TRATON SE with entry in the registers of both companies on 31 August 2021, on completion of a merger-law squeeze-out of its non-controlling shareholders; MAN SE ceased to exist as a legal entity and its register sheet is closed. |
| MAN Truck & Bus AG, Munich | Amtsgericht München HRB 86963, geschlossenes Registerblatt | Not a separate entity: the same legal person under its former legal form and former register number | HRB 247520 records that the company arose by change of legal form (formwechselnde Umwandlung) from MAN Truck & Bus AG, HRB 86963, entered 18 March 2019. HRB 86963 records the corresponding resolution of the general meeting of 25 February 2019 and was closed on the same date. |
Multiplying through the chain, Volkswagen International Luxemburg S.A. has a calculated effective indirect interest of 87.52% of the share capital of MAN Truck & Bus SE. This is a calculated effective percentage, not a filed figure; the two inputs are stated at the same 2025 reporting date.
The immediate parent is TRATON SE; the ultimate parent is Volkswagen AG. No sister company, branch or subsidiary of this entity is asserted here. The register records no branch establishments (Zweigniederlassungen) for this company.
Recent structural changes
- 18 March 2019 — change of legal form from MAN Truck & Bus AG (HRB 86963) to MAN Truck & Bus SE (HRB 247520), on a resolution of the general meeting of 25 February 2019. The same legal person continued under a new form, a new name and a new register number, and the predecessor sheet was closed. Source: both register sheets.
- 2 September 2019 — hive-down (Abspaltung) under a demerger agreement of 27 August 2019 and a resolution of the general meeting of the same date, transferring parts of the company’s assets, namely interests in foreign subsidiaries, to MAN SE (HRB 179426). Source: register HRB 247520, entry 3, repeated in the current register content.
- 22 September 2021 — register entry recording that the domination and profit transfer agreement of 17 December 1985 continues with TRATON SE (HRB 246068) following the merger of the former controlling company, MAN SE. Source: register HRB 247520, entry 15.
Data availability
Full for the immediate parent, for the control relationship and for the ultimate parent: each is supported by a register entry or a filed disclosure with a date. Not found for subsidiaries of this entity. The German commercial register does not record a company’s own shareholdings, and the group-wide list of shareholdings consulted does not identify which companies are held by MAN Truck & Bus SE specifically, so no subsidiary is listed above. That absence is not evidence that the company has none.

Share capital is EUR 320,000,500.00. The register sheet is current, with 40 entries and a last entry dated 11 May 2026. The name and number shown elsewhere on this page, MAN Truck & Bus AG under HRB 86963 München, are the company's former name and former register number: that sheet was closed when the company changed legal form on 18 March 2019. The parenthetical “Ein Unternehmen der MAN Gruppe” in the stored title is marketing copy and forms no part of any registered name.
Who owns MAN Truck & Bus AG (Ein Unternehmen der MAN Gruppe)?
TRATON SE, Munich (Amtsgericht München HRB 246068) is reported as holding a 100.00% equity interest in MAN Truck & Bus SE in TRATON SE's list of shareholdings under section 313(2) HGB for the 2025 financial year. The current commercial register content for HRB 247520 separately names TRATON SE as the controlling company (herrschende Gesellschaft) under a domination and profit transfer agreement (Beherrschungs- und Gewinnabführungsvertrag) dated 17 December 1985. The German commercial register does not publish a shareholder list for an SE, so the absence of one is a function of the legal form and not evidence that the company has no owners.
Who is MAN Truck & Bus AG (Ein Unternehmen der MAN Gruppe)'s UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner)?
No natural person is identified as holding a controlling interest in MAN Truck & Bus SE.

Multiplying through the chain gives a calculated effective indirect interest of 87.52% of share capital, which is a calculation and not a filed figure. Access to the German Transparenzregister is restricted to obliged entities and legitimate-interest applicants, so no beneficial-owner filing was examined.

Can Zavia monitor changes to MAN Truck & Bus AG (Ein Unternehmen der MAN Gruppe)'s ownership over time?
This profile reflects a point-in-time snapshot from Company Data Enrichment.

Can I access MAN Truck & Bus AG (Ein Unternehmen der MAN Gruppe)'s data through an API?
Yes.
