MAN South Africa
Staircase-like anti-slip steps and a door opening angle of 89° ensure comfort at every step.
Winding your way through narrow alleys is part of the job. Doing the same whilst getting on and off the vehicle no longer is. The new MAN TGM & MAN TGL ensure ergonomic entry and exit for drivers:
The steering wheel is now more flexible than ever: When at standstill, it can be completely folded forward into a horizontal position. Whilst driving, even a steep steering wheel angle like in a passenger car is possible. Full comfort in next to no time.
With the MAN TGM & MAN TGL, everything is clearly arranged, both externally and internally.
Intuitive instrument panel
Displays at convenient reading height, easy to reach control elements – both areas separated from one another, with each being arranged in logical groups.
Large field of vision
In order to support the driver even in heavy traffic, the cockpit and the instrument panel in the MAN TGM & MAN TGL have been lowered to increase the field of vision to the front and to the side of the cab.
Electric parking brake
The electric parking brake is located on the right-hand side next to the main display. It can be operated manually but is also engaged automatically when the vehicle is parked and releases again automatically when the vehicle moves off.
MAN TipMatic gear shift control
Conveniently located on the right-hand stalk switch, the semi-automatic MAN TipMatic gear shift control is used to select driving programmes and gears.
Tyre pressure control system with temperature display
Early warning of potential damage: Thanks to sensor monitoring, the system immediately detects when the air pressure is not right or the tyres overheat and warns the driver of this. This can help the driver to avoid tyre blow-outs and fires and to increase the operating and driving safety.
Reversing Motion System
Good overall view when reversing and manoeuvring: The standard camera at the rear of the solo truck helps you to see what is happening behind you on the cockpit display. This enables people or objects to be detected and provides a full view of trailers and semitrailers for coupling or hitching.
Sensor-enhanced fifth-wheel coupling
Coupling made more convenient: Three sensors mounted on the fifth-wheel coupling enable drivers to monitor the hitching and unhitching process from the comfort of their workplace. The connection status is shown in the display, making coupling processes significantly easier for the driver and preventing damage due to incorrect hitching and unhitching.
Traffic sign recognition
Does the 60 km/h limit from the roadworks still apply? To help the driver maintain an overview among a sea of road signs, traffic sign recognition detects the signage on the road ahead of the truck via a new video camera on the windshield and shows the currently applicable requirements in the display. If the driver exceeds the permitted speed limit, for example, a warning reminds them of the applicable rules.
Direct access to central assistance systems operating menu
Improved ease of use: The central operating menu for all assistance systems in the truck is now available at the push of a button. The intuitive operation and menu navigation means it is now significantly easier to configure assistance systems, particularly if there are frequent driver changes.
MAN OptiView
Ideal view: The MAN OptiView digital mirror replacement system ensures an outstanding overview of the traffic situation behind and to the side of the truck at all times. To provide optimal support for the driver, it can, for example, show an adjusted zoom or wide-angle view when cornering or manoeuvring. The system filters out glare and automatically adjusts what is shown on the display to the ambient brightness so that the camera image is always clear and easy to see. The removal of the external mirrors also increases the driver’s direct field of vision and improves the truck’s aerodynamics.
