Ludwigsburg, July 2, 2025 – MANN-FILTER and the tankpool24 Racing team will once again be at the Nürburgring when Europe’s most powerful trucks go head to head. The world-renowned brand will be using a variety of high-quality filter solutions in the Freightliner to guarantee maximum performance and safety. The European Truck Championship is the ideal platform to test components under extreme conditions.
The Freightliner in MANN-FILTER part design
International filtration expert MANN+HUMMEL's premium brand is continuously boosting its visibility in the truck, bus and commercial vehicle segment – and has been doing so since 2023 in cooperation with the tankpool24 Racing team, run by the Faas family. This year, the team, led by team boss and racing driver Steffen Faas, will be competing in a Freightliner, partly designed with the traditional MANN-FILTER yellow-and-green Mamba decals, fighting to finish in the top three at European Truck Racing Championship races.
Festival atmosphere paired with motorsport and expertise
Last year, the ADAC Truck Grand Prix attracted around 130,000 spectators to the Nürburgring. The event combines thrilling motorsport with a fan festival and a large trucker camp. The ideal platform for MANN-FILTER to boost its visibility in the commercial vehicle segment.
“Every year, the Truck Grand Prix is a spectacle in its own right!” Filippina Manou, sponsorship manager at MANN-FILTER, explains. "For us, truck sponsorship and the associated major event are the perfect supplement to our strategic initiative in this pivotal segment. We are particularly proud that the Freightliner is helping the team achieve new successes. We look forward to witnessing the performance at the Nürburgring and are more than confident. Like in recent years, we can hardly wait to meet the fans as well as many truck drivers and enthusiasts in person. In addition to a VIP event, there will also be some fan promotions this year – we can't wait!"
Filter solutions for maximum reliability and safety – on the race track and in everyday life
In racing, all that counts is absolute precision and the best performance – especially in terms of safety-relevant parts and systems such as the brake system, engine and fuel supply. High-quality filter solutions from MANN-FILTER, subject to extreme conditions, are used in the racing truck. The ideal platform for the filtration brand to showcase its own products.
A vital part of the compressed-air system is the MANN-FILTER air dryer cartridge in OE quality. This component reliably removes moisture and oil from the compressed air generated by the oil-powered compressor in the truck. Without this necessary filtration, there is a risk of corrosion and, in the worst case, malfunctions – with consequences for braking performance and safety.
The gold version of the air dryer cartridge is used in the tankpool24 Racing truck. This provides an additional filter layer that removes even the finest oil particles. Precision as required in motorsport. Particularly in racing conditions, where the brake is used more intensively than in everyday use, the cartridge ensures maximum drying performance and efficient oil separation.
Perfectly equipped – MANN-FILTER Freightliner ready for racing action
From July 11 to 13, the high-powered trucks will be competing for the win. The first training sessions start on Friday, while intense truck racing action is on the agenda for Saturday and Sunday #MAMBAMANIA. The tankpool24 Racing truck comes ideally equipped thanks to the MANN-FILTER components, and with Steffen Faas an experienced racing driver will be at the wheel. MANN-FILTER is looking forward to an exciting event!
