Transport efficiency at its best

An efficient driveline and efficiency-enhancing assistance systems have a positive effect on fuel consumption.

Long-haul trucks: The MAN TGX driveline

In national and international transport business, performance and efficiency are crucial for success. MAN trucks for use in long-haul transport rely on powerful yet economical engines not only ensuring more payload but also saving fuel.

The MAN TGX is now available with the new D30 PowerLion driveline . It combines the new, extremely efficient D30 engine with the MAN TipMatic 14 gearshift, which has also been newly developed, for even greater fuel savings with strong performance. Thanks to this, as well as further innovations to increase efficiency, the MAN TGX saves up to 4 % of fuel.

The extended hypoid axle with a particularly long final drive ratio, which is used in long-haul transport with up to 44 tonnes gross weight, ensures a lower rated speed and thus lower fuel consumption.

Another efficiency-enhancing component in long-haul transport is the MAN EfficientCruise GPS-assisted cruise control with PredictiveDrive. The cruise control detects up and downward gradients along the route up to three kilometres (two miles) in advance and always adjusts the selected gear and speed to achieve optimum economy whilst driving.

Long-haul trucks: The driver’s workplace in the MAN TGX

A workplace that puts the driver first

Take a seat in the MAN cockpit and drive confidently – thanks to the workplace with excellent driver fit, precise steering and digital mirror replacement system for an ideal overview.

A cockpit with excellent driver fit

A comfortable and ergonomic workplace facilitates the driver’s daily work routines on motorways or dual carriageways. Our cockpit is optimised to the driver: The focus is on the premium seats with their ergonomic seat contours developed in extensive driver tests. Regardless of the driver’s physique, the seats offer a relaxed and comfortable seating position on long journeys. Instrument panel and exterior mirror designs are aimed at maximum direct view of the surroundings. All controls can be easily reached from the driving position and the display elements are arranged at a perfect viewing distance. Operation is intuitive and clear. With the innovative MAN SmartSelect control unit including a hand rest, the driver can easily operate the infotainment system even in difficult driving conditions.

The steering wheel with a significantly increased adjustment range adds perfectly to the ergonomic workplace. This ensures a personalised and ergonomic steering position for drivers of any height and physique.

Interior in new colour scheme

The interior is impressive thanks to a timeless, stylish design in two different colourways. The first option available is Desert Beige with Tuscan Red, creating a cosy atmosphere. The second option, Dark Moon Grey with Silver, gives the cab an urban elegance. Due to its robustness, this colour choice is particularly suitable for use in construction site applications.

Steering made easy

MAN ComfortSteering enhances the hydraulic steering system of your MAN truck with additional steering torque from an electric motor. The electronic control unit reliably ensures precise steering and directional stability. At higher speeds, the active MAN ComfortSteering system automatically reduces the steering force, making it easier for the driver to maintain directional stability. The navigation system ensures that the system is only activated when driving on motorways. It will be automatically deactivated before using routes which are unsuitable.

Long-haul trucks: MAN OptiView digital mirror replacement system

Digital mirror replacement system for the best possible overview

With MAN OptiView , the driver always has an excellent overview – even when driving at dusk or at night. Five exterior cameras capture the traffic situation next to, behind and in front of the truck. Irritating glare from the low sun or from high-beam headlights of following vehicles is filtered out. The displays in the cab – on the left and on the right in the area around the A-pillar – automatically adjust to the ambient brightness, the camera image is always perfectly visible. The view through the side windows is no longer obstructed by mirror arms.

It is possible to activate the monitoring mode of the digital exterior mirrors during driving breaks. Even with the curtains closed, the driver keeps an eye on the vehicle’s surroundings at all times.
