MAN Truck & Bus
Hitting the road with MAN buses also means celebrating successes together! MAN bagged the double with RB Leipzig’s DFB Cup victory and FC Bayern’s latest championship win. What’s more, many other teams with links to MAN have also got grounds to celebrate.
But first things first! FC Bayern München have been crowned German football champions for the tenth season in succession. They secured the title in the usual way – in their red MAN team bus, of course! Just like their previous titles, this season was no different: MAN was right there with them. A perfect opportunity to look back at the last few years on video and pass on our congratulations.
MAN congratulates: FC Bayern has won the German championship again.
RB Leipzig completed the perfect “MAN Double” on Saturday, winning both the Championship and the Cup. The Saxon team’s 4-2 victory in the DFB Cup Final gave the team the chance to celebrate the first title in their relatively short club history. Congratulations!
It goes without saying that this was cause for a party. That’s why MAN Truck & Bus provided RB Leipzig with the MAN Korso truck for their journey through the city – a stage on wheels for the team, cheered on by thousands of fans in Leipzig. We followed the conversion of the truck in Leipzig:
/
Trophy on the truck: The Cup is stuck to the side, larger than life.
/
Keeping their cool: One of the three refrigerators is heaved onto the truck.
/
In the midst of the crowd: High on the top of the Korso truck, the RB Leipzig team celebrates.
Sadly, HSV didn’t quite get there, but the team still made a strong final sprint to make it to the relegation matches. We’re keeping our fingers crossed that Hamburger SV will be promoted next season, and their new MAN team bus will be heading to first division stadiums once more.

Modern technology in front of a historic setting: The HSV team bus on the road in Speicherstadt.
/
Cheering fans: Thanks to a strong final sprint, HSV was still able to reach the relegation matches. However, it was not enough.
/
Two landmarks of the Hanseatic city: The HSV team bus in front of the Elbphilharmonie.
Even without a title or a promotion, there is still reason to be happy. As championship runners-up, Borussia Dortmund qualified for the Champions League alongside RB Leipzig. The final German Champions League entrant is Bayer Leverkusen. They’re not a MAN partner team, but next season will see them on the road in a MAN Lion’s Coach for the European stage.
/
From the jet to the bus: The team changed their means of transport before the match against SC Freiburg.
/
The best atmosphere: Borussia Dortmund fans had the stadium boiling over with excitement.
/
In southern climes: BVB in the MAN bus, en route to a match against AS Monaco.
Our long-time partner TSV 1860 München had been hoping for many months for promotion to the second Bundesliga, but unfortunately, they narrowly missed out in the end. However, a win on the last day of the season secured the team fourth place in the third league and qualification for the first round of next season’s DFB Cup.
/
How else? Of course, the 1860 lions travel in a Lion’s bus.
/
Superb atmosphere: TSV 1860 München have secured a place in the DFB Cup next season.
/
Goal glut: 1860 fans celebrate their victorious team.
It’s not just our partner teams that rely on our team buses. Many other teams do too, including FC Augsburg, VFL Wolfsburg and Werder Bremen, which celebrated direct promotion this season after a year in the second league.
MAN is a generally popular choice among the teams: more than half of them will be travelling in a MAN Lion’s coach next season. We can proudly claim, “MAN moves the Bundesliga!” And of course, we wish all the teams the best of luck for the coming season.
