[edit] History

This article should include a history section.

Agreed. There's a large gap of it's history during world war two for example. The Panther medium tank was an important and famous tank during the war and yet no reference to this? I believe this article needs to include a lot more of the company's history. 203.118.180.219 (talk) 21:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)Elysium203.118.180.219 (talk) 21:46, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] The company

Most of this article had been set up to focus on the bus division. The bus division accounts for about 7% of total sales. This company is so much more than a "bus" maker. It get slightly over 30% of sales from the TRUCK division, the biggest single revenue driver of the company (no pun intended).

2004 revenue breakdown:

7,409 49.6% MAN Nutzfahrzeuge AG
3,185 21.3 MAN Ferrostaal AG
1,620 10.8 MAN Roland Druckmaschinen AG
1,421 9.5 MAN B&W Diesel AG
--659 4.4 MAN TURBO AG
__________
percent 95.6 Total Divisions
Misc: 4.4 (including financial transactions)
€14,947 Total


Please help to add more about the other division, not just the bus division. WikiDon 08:06, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:MAN logo290306.jpg

Image:MAN logo290306.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.
