Truck rental specialist TIP Group has signed a deal with MAN Truck & Bus for the delivery of up to 600 diesel and electric vehicles per year over a period of three years.
The framework agreement covers a total of up to 1,800 vehicles of all weight classes - from 7.5 to 42 tonnes - and spans 18 European countries.
In addition to conventionally powered vehicles, battery-electric trucks are also part of the contract, which has an order value of up to €160m (£139m).
Friedrich Baumann, MAN sales and customer solutions board director, said: “With the new framework agreement, MAN Truck & Bus and TIP Group are sending a strong signal for the future of freight transport.
“We are pleased to accompany TIP as an important partner on the path to sustainable logistics - with efficient diesel trucks and innovative battery-electric vehicles.
“This agreement underscores the trust in our products and services and shows how we are jointly driving the transformation of the industry forward.”
Arjen Kraaij, TIP Group chief executive, added: “Supporting customers through the transition means offering the right solutions at the right time.
“By working closely with partners like MAN, we can expand our fleet with both highly efficient diesel trucks and electric trucks, giving operators practical choices that balance performance, cost efficiency and sustainability.”
TIP said that, since 2024, the company has been focusing on zero-emission solutions and was the first rental company to integrate a larger number of MAN eTGX long-haul vehicles into its fleet.
