MAN SE and Sinotruk (Hong Kong) Limited ('Sinotruk') today signed a
long-term strategic partnership agreement, under which MAN will
become a strategic shareholder in Sinotruk owning 25% plus one share
of its capital.

The equity investment in Sinotruk, which is publicly listed on the
Hong Kong Stock Exchange, amounts to EUR560 million. The price
represents Sinotruks 60-day trading average plus a 21% premium. The
transaction is to be realized by purchasing Sinotruk's ordinary stock,
as well as by a capital increase.

The partnership combines advanced technologies and engineering
know-how developed by MAN in Europe and Sinotruk's existing
manufacturing platform, local expertise and extensive sales network in
China. As part of this cooperation, MAN will license its TGA truck
technology, including engine, chassis and axles technologies as a
basis for the production of a new heavy-duty truck series.

Sinotruk is the leading producer of heavy trucks in China, holding
approximately 20% of the market and selling over 100,000 heavy trucks
in 2008. In 2008, Sinotruk generated revenue of approximately RMB 26
billion (EUR2.5 billion) and reported an EBIT of RMB 1.25 billion
(EUR122 million).
The company's main manufacturing plants are located in Jinan, the
capital city of the Shandong Province.
