MAN South Africa
Developed by drivers for drivers to ensure simple and intuitive operation.
To ensure the best possible clarity, the displays and the control elements of the MAN TGX are arranged separately. This results in optimised reading distances and ergonomic accessibility.
The convenient gear shift control on the switch on the right of the steering column can be used to select the driving program and driving mode. The advantages: more space between the seats, improved ergonomics, increased safety.
It provides quick access to all important functions. The multifunction buttons are ergonomically arranged on two separate control isles. At standstill, the steering wheel can be folded into a horizontal position, making room for entry, exit and cross-cab exit. On the move, even a very steep steering wheel angle is possible.
The switch for the electric parking brake is located on the right-hand side next to the instrumentation in the instrument panel – in direct proximity to the gear shift control and the ignition lock. It can be operated manually at any time but is also engaged automatically when the vehicle is parked and releases again automatically when the vehicle moves off.
Navigation, radio channels, video function, telephone and more – all this is part of the intuitive infotainment system of the MAN Truck generation and makes it the central hub for communication and entertainment. The display is available in 12.3 inches and also in other sizes. Touch control was deliberately not included – the infotainment system is fully controlled via MAN SmartSelect.
The MAN TGX offers more than 1,100 litres of storage space in the form of shelving, drawers, roof storage compartments and many other practical storage ideas to provide an abundance of space. This ensures order and increases safety. A pleasant feel is included.
The premium seats offer optimum comfort to every driver thanks to an exclusive MAN seat contour developed with the experience of thousands of test kilometres.
Convenient time savings: With automatic language recognition via driver card, which can be activated via MAN Now, the truck automatically switches all displays to the driver's language when the card is inserted. This reduces the time it takes to start off if there are frequent driver changes. There are 28 languages available in total.
Alcohol Interlock capability
Traffic accidents under the influence of alcohol are all the more unfortunate, because they absolutely can be avoided. Alcohol Interlock capability enables a test device to be retrofitted to determine the alcohol level in the driver’s breath. This electronically prevents the engine from starting until the driver is capable of driving again.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Controlling the infotainment system via MAN SmartSelect is both intuitive and innovative in terms of handling and comfort.
The groundbreaking MAN SmartSelect, which was developed together with our customers, makes operating the multimedia system extremely easy, even in rough driving conditions. The push/turn control knob with comfortable thumb-ball support and integrated touchpad allows for precise inputs even under rough driving conditions. MAN SmartSelect is equally suited for night-time driving: It is easily identified with just a quick glance thanks to being equipped with its own lighting.
You can navigate via MAN SmartSelect by turning the small rotating ring.
The main menu is called up by turning the capacitive rotating ring.
Using the handwriting recognition of MAN SmartSelect, list entries can be selected easily and quickly and the integrated touchpad can be used to zoom in.
A home away from home: The rest area in the MAN TGX is the ideal place to relax after a hard day’s work.
A spacious multi-zone cold-foam mattress (200 x 80 cm) on a 7-zone slatted frame ensures a restful night’s sleep and good start to the day. For a short break in between, the comfort bed can be easily adjusted on the headpiece and turned into a sofa.
Everything just an arm’s reach away. All the essentials can be easily reached from the bed. This is effected by smart solutions such as a pull-out fridge and additional storage space underneath the bed.
The cockpit of the MAN TGX can be adapted to the individual needs of the driver. For example, the optionally available Vario co-driver’s seat can be turned into a practical table by simply folding it over. This opens up space between the seats and the rest area and offers a whole new level of comfort.
Using the remote control for frequently used functions means that you can stay comfortable on the bed. Media system, lighting, independent heating and even the doors, windows and the lifting roof can be conveniently controlled from the comfort bed. Misplacing impossible: This is ensured by the power supply cable.
Whilst driving, MAN Climatronic provides fully automatic temperature control. Optimally directed air currents maintain a clear view to the outside – and add to the comfort of the driver. The auxiliary air-conditioning system takes over during break times.
