MAN’s hTGX wins 2025 Truck Innovation Award

The MAN hTGX—a heavy-duty truck with a hydrogen combustion engine — has won the 2025 Truck Innovation Award. The International Truck of the Year journalists presented Alexander Vlaskamp, CEO of MAN Truck & Bus, with the prestigious award during the IAA Transportation Press Day in Hanover.

Following the inaugural Truck Innovation Award in 2019 in recognition of the aFAS Level 4 automated driverless safety truck and the ATLAS-L4 and ANITA autonomous driving projects in logistics operations in 2023, this is the third time MAN Truck & Bus has won this trophy.

The Truck Innovation Award, created by the International Truck of the Year (ITOY) jury, recognizes excellence in advanced transport solutions. The ITOY group comprises 25 commercial vehicle editors and senior journalists representing major trucking magazines from Europe and South Africa.

With 84 votes, MAN’s hTGX beat off competition from Renault Trucks’ Oxygen – a prototype distribution truck – and Iveco’s S-eWay Fuel Cell (FCEV), a zero-emission electric long-distance vehicle.

During a road test in Saalfelden, Austria, IToY journalists praised the hTGX’s diesel-like performance and driveability, delivered by MAN’s 16.8-litre H4576 in-line six spark-ignition hydrogen engine.

The Truck of the Year judges also praised the heavy-duty truck’s near-zero carbon footprint, the range of around 600 kilometers provided by the 56-kilo 700 bar hydrogen pressurized tanks, and the simplified after-treatment system.

Summing up the jury’s decision, Gianenrico Griffini, chairman of the International Truck of the Year, said: “MAN’s hTGX opens a new chapter in decarbonizing road transport. It can be the vehicle of choice for heavy-duty applications, such as in the construction sector, in challenging climatic conditions
