Your business needs a strong driving force: the MAN D26 engine with intelligent Common Rail technology. It uses high pressure to ensure the cylinders get exactly the right amount of fuel needed to provide the optimum rotation speed at low levels of consumption. The result: the highest levels of efficiency combined with superb performance. Moreover, the engine's two-stage cooled exhaust-gas recirculation effectively reduces the formation of nitrogen oxide, by feeding up to 40% of the exhaust gases directly back into the system. The D26 is also particularly environmentally friendly, thanks to a further 2.5% fuel saving in comparison to previous models: a positive effect for both the environment and your balance sheet.
Concentrate on arriving safely at your destination and let our intelligent MAN TipMatic® gearshift system take responsibility for selecting the right gear. Specially designed software calculates the ideal gearshift speed based on various indicators and automatically selects the most comfortable solution: for greater efficiency and less wear and tear. The unique functions of our innovative twelve-speed gearbox are rounded off by a number of different programs, for use in fleet operation, or by experienced drivers etc. You are even able to reduce wear and fuel costs where driver changes are frequent, thanks to the option to limit manual mode. Take comfort and efficiency up a gear with the MAN TipMatic®.
With new practical equipment features for even greater comfort: the modern interior design of the MAN TGS with numerous equipment highlights awaits.
A revised bumper that can stand up to any challenge, consistently lightweight construction and a variable axle load ratio, for a strong and convincing performance.
Impressively homely: the cabs of the MAN TGS take comfort to a new level.
Room for everything – except compromise! From a high-definition display and new, intuitive switch and operating concept to the numerous improvements in the rest compartment: we really have thought of everything for you with the new design of our interiors.
For us, an attractive exterior and optimum performance belong together. The sophisticated design of our MAN TGS combines functional aesthetics with the highest efficiency.
Strong performance: The MAN TGS comes across confidently, with its distinctive contours and impressive charisma. The MAN lions on the radiator grille and steering wheel stand for strength and performance: letting you know at first glance what our power pack is made of.
Always a good move: the variable axle load ratio in the MAN TGS ensures optimal traction on the drive axle whatever the load. The axle load is distributed variably between driven and non-driven axles, ensuring the necessary tractive force can be applied optimally even on unsurfaced terrain.
Cool even after long operating periods: the lamellar structure of our new plastic bumper protects the technology of the MAN TGS against overheating thanks to the optimised cool-air flow, making the core element of our vehicle front not just impressive to look at, but also impressively practical.
Lighter on tours: the heavy-duty MAN TGS series convinces with its consistent application of lightweight construction principles. The lighter a truck is, the greater the payload it can transport – with less fuel consumption: meaning there is more left for you at the end of the day.
Best conditions: The MAN TGS offers you a range of possibilities, as the even top edge of the frame allows for all types of superstructures to be mounted quickly and simply. The frame clearance behind the cab can also be used for additional add-on components, such as a crane superstructure. Even retroactive conversions can be easily realised thanks to the available hole pattern.
The compact class: small in dimension but a giant in terms of storage. The M cab is the right choice for short routes in short-haul and distribution transport, in the construction industry or in the utilities sector.
The multi-talent: while working hard as a payload star, the L cab transforms itself during rest breaks into a relaxing area of retreat thanks to the comfort bed and numerous stowage options that come as standard.
Drivers who work hard and are away on long tours deserve a relaxing break. With two comfortable beds and generous storage and stowage options, the LX cab offers you plenty of space and maximum comfort.
Our intelligent safety and assistance systems on board the MAN TGS ensure optimal safety and make things easier for the driver.
While you focus on steering your business to success, our efficiency systems will put the brakes on the costs for you.
When nothing else is working, you can rely on the MAN TGS to help you out: MAN HydroDrive® is our expert for gridlocked situations.
We have expanded our Adaptive Cruise Control with a Stop & Go function, so that you can stay relaxed while driving in traffic. This technology allows the MAN TGS to brake independently in traffic, right up until the truck comes to a complete stop. It can also pull away again independently following short stops. Also on board is our advanced emergency braking system (EBA), which recognises the threat of a collision in advance and automatically puts on the brakes for you.
Because we know fuel makes up a significant portion of your costs, we have used our intelligent efficiency systems to optimise the fuel consumption of our trucks.
Our GPS-assisted MAN EfficientCruise® cruise control system not only detects upward and downward gradients along the route up to three kilometres in advance, it also automatically selects the best gear for you, eliminating large interruptions in traction.
Our efficiency systems: helping you to make the most of every drop of fuel.
Extra traction when you need it: all-wheel drive may not necessarily be the optimal solution if you are only out on slippery surfaces occasionally. That’s where the MAN HydroDrive® comes into its own, with selectable front-axle drive. It offers greater traction when required, while saving considerably on fuel in comparison to traditional all-wheel drives and cutting up to 400 kg in weight. With the MAN HydroDrive® your wheels are always firmly on the ground and no terrain can stop you from reaching your destination.
