MAN Truck & Bus
Volkswagen Group's MAN Truck & Bus supplies the chassis for armored riot control vehicles for the Israeli police and security forces.
MAN trucks are used to transport security forces and for water cannon vehicles to disperse demonstrations. The water cannon riot control vehicles built on MAN chassis are used by the Israel Border Police and the YASAM unit (Special Patrol and Riot Police unit) of the police.
The vehicles are used to disperse water and other substances, like the “Skunk” scent-based weapon and other substances such as tear gas, paint, and foam. Water cannon vehicles have been widely used by Israeli forces against Palestinians both in demonstrations and as a punitive measure in the occupied West Bank, East Jerusalem, and within the Green Line, including to target schools and medical teams. The vehicles have been regularly used in demonstrations in the occupied West Bank.
In addition, MAN supplies buses to the Egged Group, which operates bus lines to settlements in the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem.
