Munich car design community, Pistons & Pretzels is on its way. With a little more horsepower than usual.
UK, Italy, Sweden, US… over the last decade, we’ve taken Pistons & Pretzels to plenty of memorable places. But we just can’t help it: Munich will always be our favourite.
It’s where we first laid our roots, and this autumn, we’ll finally be back.
Save the date: September 13.
As always, from 11 AM to 4 PM.
As part of the event, you can discover the fascinating world of MAN during an exclusive tour of the MAN Truck Forum – the flagship showcase of MAN Truck & Bus SE. Experience state-of-the-art commercial vehicles, impressive exhibits, and a carefully selected collection of historic MAN classics. Explore the Future Mobility exhibition and gain unique insights into the Customer Center, including the vehicle handover hall where new trucks and buses begin their journey with customers. Join us for an engaging tour that brings together innovation, technology, heritage, and the future of transportation.
The tour is free of charge for all event guests. Spaces are limited to two tours with a maximum of 20 participants each. You can reserve your spot during the ticket purchase process.
A good time, a whole lot of cars, a main partner rolling in the big guns, and a bunch of friends coming together for some easy chats and honest laughs.
We can’t wait to see you there!
In the meantime? Let’s take it back to last year’s Pistons & Pretzels Munich.
MAN Truck & Bus SE, a company of the TRATON GROUP, is one of Europe’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturers and providers of transport solutions. The product portfolio includes trucks and buses with diesel and zero-emission powertrains, vans, diesel and gas engines, as well as services relating to passenger and freight transport.
More partners incoming.
Nowhere else can the flair and spirit of MAN be felt as keenly as at the MAN Truck Forum.
Together with the MAN Bus Forum right next to it, it combines the customer centre, the brand experience and the MAN Business Competence Centre (BCC), creating an emotional and authentic picture of the brand that is sure to inspire you.
We are looking forward to welcoming the Automotive Design community to the MAN Truck Forum! To attend the event, you’ll need a ticket. There are two options:
Entry Ticket
This ticket helps cover the basic costs of hosting the event and includes access for one adult. Children up to the age of 14 receive free entry. Food and drinks will be available for purchase onsite.
Entry + Food & Drinks Ticket

To help us continue hosting Pistons & Pretzels and maintain the quality of the experience, we’ve introduced a small ticket fee this year. We’ve worked hard to keep the price as low as possible and look forward to welcoming you for another fantastic day of cars, people, and great conversations.
