The Innovation & Engineering Hub by Volkswagen Group Services, in Portugal, delivers groundbreaking solutions together with our stakeholders, by developing sustainable and market oriented products as well as innovative services. Volkswagen Group Service is positioned in the market with a broad range of automotive services, and supports the core business of Volkswagen, other brands and organizations.

Side by side with MAN Truck & Bus, one of Europe's leading manufacturers of commercial vehicles, we are hiring for a dedicated team in our Hub. 🚚

MAN Truck & Bus is focusing on four key areas:

Thus transforming itself from a commercial vehicle manufacturer to a provider of intelligent and sustainable transport solutions.

About the Team:

MAN SimplePay is a digital payments ecosystem for commercial vehicles that transforms the vehicle into a payment gateway/digital wallet and thereby enables it to pay for various services in and around the truck. The web application consolidates all transactions and enables fleet managers to analyze total cost of ownership in near real time. Secure connectivity and Telematics ensure secure vehicle identification and authorization of transactions.

MAN SimplePay tackles the most important needs of our customers:

• Optimized on-time delivery: Drivers save time due to efficiency gains (minimize human interaction);

• Reduced administrative efforts: Fleet managers manage their fleet more efficiently and have a real time view of all payment transactions in and around the truck.

MAN SimplePay enables the vehicle to pay on its own and is therefore also a major contributor towards eMobility and autonomous driving in the future
