“A great success! In order to achieve our targets for the current fiscal year, we will now do everything in our power to continue this positive trend” – Inka Koljonen, the MAN Truck & Bus SE Executive Board member responsible for Finance, IT and Legal

Inka Koljonen, the MAN Truck & Bus SE Executive Board member responsible for Finance, IT and Legal, said: “After an extremely difficult year with production downtime lasting several weeks, disruptions to supply chains, and high financial charges, including from rising energy and raw material prices, we succeeded in getting MAN back on track thanks to major efforts. The measures taken in recent years to improve earnings, some of which were incisive, are now bearing fruit and are also reflected in the Company’s earnings. A great success! In order to achieve our targets for the current fiscal year, we will now do everything in our power to continue this positive trend.”

However, she points to the uncertainties that still exist, resulting among other things from the economic consequences of the Ukraine war and the pandemic.
