These trucks combine the renowned durability and performance of MAN chassis with specialized fuel tank systems, providing a solution trusted by operators in aviation and related industries worldwide.
Purpose-Built for Aviation Fuel Transport
Aviation fuel is highly flammable and strictly regulated. Our aviation fuel tank trucks are engineered to meet these demands, ensuring safe, efficient delivery to aircraft on the tarmac or at private airfields.
Primary uses include:
- Refueling commercial aircraft at airports
- Supplying private jets and corporate aviation fleets
- Fueling helicopters and regional aviation operations
- Transporting Jet A-1, Avgas, and other aviation-grade fuels
These vehicles are indispensable for airlines, airport operators, government agencies, and specialized fuel service companies.

MAN aviation fuel trucks serve a variety of industries where reliable fuel delivery is critical:
- Commercial Aviation: Airlines and airport service providers rely on timely refueling for tight flight schedules.
- Corporate Aviation: Private jet operators require flexible and safe refueling at smaller airfields.
- Military Aviation: Defense organizations need durable, high-capacity tank trucks for airbases and remote operations.
- Airport Ground Services: Fixed-base operators (FBOs) and ground handling companies use these trucks to maintain fleet readiness.
- Fuel Logistics Companies: Specialized transport companies manage bulk delivery to multiple airports and airstrips.
