MAN Truck & Bus has introduced the New TG Range for its markets in the sales area Middle East, Africa and Latin America

The development of the new trucks was based on customer feedback, to provide them vehicles that meet their operational requirements – for today and for the future.

The new range represents MAN Truck & Bus as a provider of sustainable transport solutions. It underlines the high competence of MAN’s engineering team that has always delivered robust, reliable and efficient vehicles. These trucks also showcase the high build quality in MAN factories.

The New TG Range wears a distinct look with a new cabin that makes it stand out among its competitors. The new look is both visually appealing and functionally efficient. These vehicles offer highest levels of reliability and efficiency for diverse applications & operating conditions.

With the introduction of the new trucks, MAN also reaffirms its commitment to “simplifying business” of its customers. The company aims to do so with effective aftersales for service & parts; a range of digital & financial solutions; and business advisory, besides the reliable & efficient products. This is a powerful enterprise grade solution for customers and it is designed to support improved levels of fleet efficiency & safety, and reduce environmental impact.

Great efficiency and economy

The engine range remains robust, reliable and efficient as before. It will continue to deliver consistent high-performance over long duty cycles. Substantial improvements on the product, and in the areas of maintenance & service can reduce service life costs. These trucks also offer significant payload advantages for weight-sensitive application sectors.

Strong partner – Competent and personal partnership

Partnership has been key to MAN’s successes and its importer partners have done a commendable job to achieve customer satisfaction. The New TG Range also follows a product logic, which is oriented towards the application profile. This allows for a new MAN TGX, TGS, TGM or TGL to be put together that fits the exact transport task, using flexible configuration options.

Optimised uptime – utmost availability over the entire service life

The operational efficiency of a truck is largely dependent on the parameter of reliability and how easily it fulfils its task, each day. MAN endeavours to make the tried & tested even better with the New TG Range. These trucks will perform just as before as the powertrain retains its characteristics from the previous generation. 

Excellent driver fit – the driver is the focus

In order to optimise the work place in the truck, their performance and motivation need to be placed at the forefront. This is why the new MAN Truck Generation sets standards in terms of user-friendliness, optimum ergonomics, operation which is more intuitive and reliable. There is also the aspect of optimum space – a well-thought-out storage concept and perfect sleeping comfort. 

The new MAN TGX is the International Truck of the Year 2021

In addition to its driving comfort, the drivers workplace with its clearly arranged, fully digital display instruments, the intuitively operable driving and multimedia functions incorporated into the new, generously adjustable multifunction steering wheel and the innovative, distraction-free rotary pushbutton control function of the MAN SmartSelect system impressed the jury of the International Truck of the Year. 

Driving smart

With navigation, radio (from standard to digital), video, telephone and more tailored to trucks, the infotainment system of the new MAN Truck Generation is a communication and multimedia hub. It is available in five different variants, from starter to advanced. The seven-inch or 12.3-inch display – both with brilliant HD resolution – makes for great viewing. Quick-selection keys and a USB input connection are part of the standard fittings, and from ddvanced level the buttons are fully configurable and up to two smartphones can be paired.

MAN lane departure warning system

The lane departure warning system assists the driver with accurate lane keeping. If your MAN Truck touches the lane markings or leaves the lane without an activated turn indicator, an acoustic signal will sound. This is how the system increases active safety on monotonous sections of motorways and dual carriageways as well as during night-time journeys, thus preventing accidents..

ACC stop & go

The ACC with stop-and-go function automatically regulates the speed and the distance to traffic ahead. It retains the required speed without the driver’s having to actuate the accelerator. The vehicle is automatically braked to a standstill and after brief stops moves off again automatically

Emergency brake assist

This system warns the driver of an impending collision and in an emergency automatically initiates a braking procedure.
