The European Commission has announced the completion of an investigation into Poland's plans to provide state aid for the expansion of production capacity at the MAN Trucks Sp. z o. o. truck factory located in the city of Nowy Dwór in Małopolskie Voivodeship. Following its review, the Commission concluded that the proposed financing scheme does not comply with European Union state aid rules. According to a statement published in Brussels on October 5, 2026, the incompatibility of the aid with established standards means that Poland is not entitled to pay the declared funds to the company. The Commission's decision is aimed at preventing distortion of competition in the EU internal market that could arise from selective state aid to individual manufacturers. MAN Trucks is one of Europe's major truck manufacturers with production facilities in several EU countries, including Poland. The expansion of the Nowy Dwór plant was considered part of the company's strategy to increase production volumes in the region. EU state aid rules provide for strict oversight of subsidies provided by member states to individual companies to prevent them from gaining unjustified competitive advantages. The European Commission regularly conducts such reviews as part of its policy to protect the single market. It remains unclear whether Poland intends to challenge this decision or seek alternative support mechanisms for the enterprise that comply with European legislation.
