Commission finds Polish support for MAN Trucks factory expansion incompatible State aid
What happened
The European Commission concluded on October 5, 2026, that Poland's plan to support the extension of capacity for truck producer MAN Trucks Sp. z o. o. in Niepołomice is not in line with EU State aid rules. As a result, Poland cannot disburse the aid for this factory expansion.
Why it matters
This decision means Poland cannot provide financial support for the MAN Trucks factory expansion, potentially impacting the project's funding and scale. It reinforces the EU's commitment to ensuring that national aid to businesses adheres to common market rules, preventing unfair competition.
Who it affects
- ›MAN Trucks Sp. z o. o.
