Bologna, Monday, May 27, 2024 - Today, at Ducati headquarters in Borgo Panigale (BO), in the presence of Ducati CEO Claudio Domenicali and Marc Martinez, Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus Italia, four MAN TGX 18.520 trucks were delivered. These trucks will have the important task of towing the Ducati Lenovo Team's semi-trailers—containing motorcycles, workshop and spare parts, and hospitality equipment—during all the European stages of the MotoGP World Championship.

As part of this partnership between the two Volkswagen Group brands, which share a commitment to avant-garde, performance, and technological excellence, a series of communication activities related to MotoGP, the ultimate expression of motorcycle racing, will be planned.

At the end of the first year of use, the four MAN TGXs that have accompanied the Ducati Lenovo Team to the main European circuits will be resold with an exclusive package to enthusiastic customers of the Borgo Panigale team.

Claudio Domenicali, Ducati CEO:
"The four new MAN TGX 18.520 tractors constitute the top of the range in MAN's offer in terms of technological features, comfort, performance, and fuel optimization, all of which are fundamental characteristics to best carry out the important task of taking the Ducati Lenovo Team to the European circuits of the MotoGP Championship. MAN is certainly the best partner we could work in this area."

Alexander Vlaskamp, CEO of MAN Truck & Bus:
"An important collaboration between two strong brands, Ducati and MAN, from the Volkswagen Group. Both are synonymous with excitement and great performance. This partnership with the world of MotoGP increases the emotional load of our brand in markets, not only in Europe but around the world."

Marc Martinez, Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus Italy:
"I am particularly proud of this delivery, which celebrates a world-famous Italian brand and further strengthens MAN's image in the Italian market. It is a further step in the path of growth that we have undertaken in the last two years and consolidates the strategy of collaboration within the Volkswagen Group, which I particularly believe in."
