MAN expands to deal with pandemicMr Schuf, left, and Mr Jakkrapong say MAN targets sales of at least 50 buses and 120 trucks in 2021. Germany-based MAN Truck & Bus Thailand has encountered a rough patch, with weak bus and truck sales in the Thai market during the pandemic, but remains optimistic about its future business here. According to MAN, new bus registrations with the Land Transport Department have decreased since early 2020 by 62%, from 1,090 vehicles last year. Jakkrapong Santirat, the country head who oversees truck sales, said MAN will continue to push ahead with marketing plans next year by promoting products and increasing the number of showrooms and dealers. However, Mr Jakkrapong said, whether MAN can achieve its targets will depend on how the pandemic proceeds going forward.
