MAN Truck & Bus South Africa has announced the launch of its Max Mileage Master competition, a campaign designed to spotlight the remarkable endurance and long-term performance of MAN trucks. The competition seeks to identify the MAN truck – built from 2007 onwards – that has achieved the highest mileage and is still operational.
Far more than a competition, Max Mileage Master is a celebration of what happens when engineering excellence meets responsible ownership. MAN’s renowned design resilience and the commitment of it after sales network combine with fleet owners who follow prescribed service schedules and use OEM approved parts and lubricants. This partnership brings to life the true durability, resilience and staying power of MAN vehicles.
Speaking on the launch of the competition Noko Seopa, Head of Customer Service Management at MAN Truck & Bus SA said: “Max Mileage Master is not just a competition – it’s a marketing activation that underscores what our customers already know; when well taken care of, a MAN can truly go the distance. This campaign reinforces how proper maintenance, together with using MAN Genuine Parts and our after-sales support, results in vehicles that maintain uptime year after year, deliver excellent residual value, and consistently prove their quality over time.”
The competition is open to MAN customer across South Africa, Botswana and Namibia and customers can enter via the MAN South Africa website (www.man.eu/za). MAN is eager to see entries pour in from operators who have experiences firsthand the vehicle’s long-lasting performance.
“We are excited to celebrate our customers success stories and show South Africa the real durability reliability of an MAN” added Philip Kalil-Zackey, Head of Truck Sales. “Partnership is not only formed on the point of sales, partnership goes beyond, and MAN, being represented in South Africa ever since 1936, has always appreciated the longstanding partnerships with our customers.”
As the search for the Max Mileage Master begins, MAN invites customers, fleet owner, operators, and the wider transport community to follow and celebrate the incredible stories behind these vehicles. Each entry is not just a number on the odometer, but a testament to the people, the routes and the countless kilometres that keep Southern Africa moving. The stage is set – now it’s time to see which MAN will claim the crown.
