The new MAN TGS is suited to long-haul transport and heavy-duty short-haul.
The TGS has a new generation of the MAN TipMatic® automatic gear shift system combined with the optimised D26 engine. This provides a torque increase of 200 Nm, an additional 20 HP and lower fuel consumption. The ergonomic seating has individual adjustment, integrated headrests and a three-point seat belt. It also has an optional multimedia unit with 7" colour touch screen with pro navigation, Bluetooth and AUX input.
The TGS has a range of innovative driver assistance systems for load safely and reliably. Electronic stability program (ESP), Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and the lane guard system (LGS) are systems included as standard. These systems reduce the strain on the driver on long journeys. The new version of the Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) warns the driver when there is a risk of collision with the preceding vehicle or a stationary vehicle, and automatically initiates emergency braking when necessary. The Continuous Damping Control (CDC) guarantees increased driving safety in vehicles with a high centre of gravity, such as swap body trucks or timber transporters.
The TGS series makes use of lightweight construction materials to allow for increased payload and reduced fuel consumption. In long-haul transport and over medium distances, the TGS has good fuel economy and sufficient power due to its low weight, good payload and common rail injection of the MAN engines. The even top edge of the frame allows all types of superstructures to be mounted onto the MAN TGS quickly and economically. The hole pattern enables it to be extended or converted at a later date. The frame clearance behind the cab can also be used for additional add-on components, such as a crane superstructure if necessary. Due to the different wheelbases, the MAN TGS can be configured for various fifth-wheel heights, as well as for Euro and high-volume trailers.
