Save fuel, not performance.
More efficiency out of every drop of diesel. Thats
the principle behind the torquey MAN common-rail
engines. They combine powerful dynamics and the
best of running performance with attractive service
costs and low fuel consumption. How well power
and driving ease can work together is underscored
in the automated MAN TipMatic gear change,
with which you can move up in terms of comfort
and economy. The efficient development of power
in the MAN TGX lends you reliability in keeping to
tight schedules. That way youre sure of reaching
every destination. Especially the operating profit
you target.

Efficiency is nothing without reliability.

Drivers who cover 150000 or more kilometres in
long-distance transport a year have a lot of stories
to tell. We listened attentively to just what truckers
say and our findings went into the development of
the new Trucknology range MAN TGX. The result
is a truck predestined for the worlds highways.
A truck for entrepreneurs with a vision, and for
drivers with a passion. A vehicle that puts reliability
in a whole new perspective.
