MAN Trucks, dealers spar over compensation, service support agreement

In a market where home-grown companies sell nine out of every ten trucks and buses, the going has not been smooth for MAN Trucks India

Almost a month and a half after German truck maker MAN announced plans of winding down its India operations as part of a global restructuring effort, the impasse over compensation between the company's 42-odd dealers and the management continues. 

While company officials claim a majority of them, around 30, have accepted and signed the so-called service partner support programme, dealers said only four of them had signed on the dotted line. Dealers said that the programme didn't have much merit as it would only ensure their survival and not viability. A MAN spokesperson declined to comment on the story.
