THE MAN TGX Brochure PDF

THE MANY FACETS OF THE MAN TGX.
Anyone who wants to operate successfully in international long-haul transport today needs to take their transport performance up a gear and put the brakes on costs. The MAN TGX is designed to do just this. With its low-emission engines, it sets very high standards for energy efficiency,reliability and cost-effectiveness - while also delivering the top quality for which MAN trucks are known in the industry.

With its new technologies, it achieves outstanding fuel con-sumption.  This has been proven over and over in independ-ent comparative tests and most importantly by our cus-tomers. With new fuel-saving features we have achieved a further reduction in consumption of up to 3.7%*and  even  more  sustainability.

And the TGX offers high load capacity and perfect body-compatibility. The TGX boasts impressive levels of comfort too: the driver’s workspace is streamlined, while the rest and sleep area is the perfect place to relax, ensuring that you are always well rested and highly motivated when it’s time to get the job done. That helps to enhance your safety too - as do our reliable assistance systems. In addition to familiar assistants, highlights include the Traffic Jam Assist as well as ACC’s new stop-and-go function, which helps you make your way through traffic congestion with ease.

We can safely say that the MAN TGX will deliver the goods,helping you to achieve your profit target and taking you to a new level of success with perfectly dovetailed services. We have stepped up our digital offering in particular, creating Connected Truck - a smart and innovative comprehensive network for your vehicle. With numerous DigitalServices such as driver, servicing and fleet management, you can now use your truck in an even more carefully monitored,efficient and cost-effective way.

ERGONOMICS START WITH THEVERY FIRST STEP.
The ergonomic entry design of the MAN TGX ensures a pleasant start to the day. As the entrance is positioned in the middle of the door area, the driver can get into the vehicle in an upright position. The access ladder is design-ed as a stair so you have all steps in view. On entering the vehicle, the design ensures extra comfort, and it offers better safety, too. Thanks to entry lighting, the steps and surroundings are visible at any time of day and in any weather conditions as soon as you open the door. For all this, we didn’t forget the little things either: an entrance optimised especially for off-road work and that features steps with a non-slip surface and a lattice structure, washable interior door panelling and a com-pressed air supply. This way sand, mud and gravel can quickly be shown back out the door. In addition to ensuring your truck makes a positive impression visually, breaks feel all that much better, too.

That said, we developed the MAN EasyControl system specifically to help you avoid getting in and out when you don’t have to. Within the driver-side door there are four controls that can be easily accessed from outside the vehicle. Depending on your configuration, they come preprogrammed with the key functions or can even be implemented according to individual needs.

Once in the cab, you have a variety of driver’s seats to choose from, each ready to welcome your particular build. There is a larger range of backrest adjustment options for drivers of all sizes. The passenger seat as well features highly ergonomic design and its own range of individual adjustment possibilities. The Vario seat is especially space-saving: when it’s not needed, thanks to its Cinema function, it can simply be folded away.

Even the steering wheel has been given greater flexibility:for the resting position, the steering wheel can be tilted forward to a horizontal position by the driver, and in action as well, it can be given as steep an angle as that of an average passenger car. The result is a workplace that bends over not only backwards, but forwards and sideways as well, to suit. So the driver doesn’t have to.

GUARDIAN ANGEL INCLUDED.
Safely to your destination and back. This wish has right of way. In addition to protecting drivers and other people on the roads, cost-effectiveness is an important aspect, too. For even if the driver and vehicle escape with no serious injuries or damage, something else is lost: the valuable time it takes to record and report the accident. In order to simply head unplanned downtime off at the pass, we have made the MAN TGX your personal safety expert.

It offers protection through the reinforced cab as well as active roll stabilisation. It warns you via turning and lane change assistants and keeps everything in view when turning or parking thanks to BirdView*. Its emergency braking system and lane return assist even look a few seconds into the future for you. Still, assistants have a supporting role: the final say is always the driver’s.

TOP-CLASS DRIVER’S CAB.
The driver’s cab is the heart of the MAN TGX. We’ve re-imagined the cab from floor to ceiling – because comfort in the cab means easier workflows and faster completion of your haulage jobs. Ideal conditions for higher driver motivation, and that translates to an investment that pays you daily returns. The completely new controls of the MANTipMatic®automatic gear shift system situated directly on the steering column stalk is just one example.

And a host of clever storage areas and compartments make great use of the additional room. The overhead lockers above the windscreen, multifunctional compart-ments and secure, pull-out drawers in the centre part of the instrument panel are particularly practical in a driver’s day-to-day. Depending on the cab option, various storage boxes, compartments and an in-set or pull-out fridge are also available.

The GX cab, for instance, boasts more than 1,100 litres of stowage space, ensuring that you can neatly fit in everything you need – even for several days on the road.
One feature is an absolute first: the trailblazing MAN Smart-Select system, which was developed together with our customers, makes using the multimedia system child’s play even in demanding driving conditions. Here, too,comfort was our inspiration for eliminating the touchscreen.With MAN SmartSelect, functions such as maps, music,cameras and more can be selected via a user-friendly dial with hand rest. There’s so much more to discover in our new driver’s cabs, so get in, get comfortable and enjoy all the new possibilities.

The MAN TGX offers exactly the support you and your drivers are looking for: MAN CruiseAssist, Lane Change Collision Prevention Assist, Lane return assist (LRA),turn support, lane change support (LCS), the traffic jam assist, ACC Stop&Go, lane departure warning (LDW) and many other safety and assistance systems can prevent or lessen the consequences of accidents, which can in some cases entail expensive repairs and major losses of time.Read more in the chapterSAFETY AND ASSISTANCE SYSTEMS.

Theory times experience: the controls for the MAN TGX are the result of combining the latest scientific analyses with insights from intensive on-road tests with drivers.

DRIVING SMART.
With navigation, radio (from standard to digital), video, tele-phone and more tailored to trucks, the infotainment system of the MAN TGX is a communication and multimedia hub.It is available in five different variants, from entry-level to Navigation Professional. The 7-inch or 12.3-inch display – both with brilliant HD resolution – makes for great viewing. Direct access buttons and a USB input connection are part of the standard fittings, and from Advanced level on up to two smartphones can be paired.

The infotainment system can be operated either via a classic control system with buttons or via MAN SmartSelect (can be combined from version Advanced 7-inch). Throughout,familiar usage meets innovative comfort. The result is one you can see and feel, too, as high-quality surfaces make every journey with the new MAN TGS tangibly special.

WITH MAN YOU CAN TAKEALOAD OFF.
Everything has to come to rest at some point. A pleasant atmosphere. A cosy environment. For the sleeping area of the MAN TGX that’s exactly what you’ll find. In the extend-ed cab models, a multizone cold-foam mattress ensures comfort for well-deserved shut-eye and peaceful dreams.The accompanying 7-zone slatted base has an adjustable head, enabling a range of ergonomic lying positions. This allows the driver to also use the bed as a sofa for reading or watching television, for example.
All of the important functions can also be operated from here using a special control panel in the rest area: the lights,door locks, heating and windows can all be controlled at the push of a button. Just like the radio, music, the peri-meter camera and important data on the battery’s current status or driving times. The infotainment system can also be conveniently operated via the MAN Driver app. Personal items have their spot too in the many stowage compart-ments. After all, in the GX cab there are 1,148 litres of space at the driver’s disposal. The storage concept includes a special innovation: a modular storage box which slides completely underneath the bed and can be fitted with either a fridge, a drawer or a storage compartment.

An independent air conditioning system and auxiliary water heater take care of providing for pleasant air and tempera-ture conditions in your environment. The electric air condi-tioner even works without a cold reservoir, which would have to be charged during vehicle operation, and is thus ready for use at any time. Even in summer it can keep things refreshingly cool for up to 11 hours. While the truck is on the road, MAN Climatronic maintains the chosen temperature fully automatically. Comfortable temperature zones in the cab are assured as well, as the foot area and the head area are controlled separately. Perfect for keeping your head cool but your toes toasty. Noise and lights are kindly asked to stay away, however.

To create the perfect feel-good environment, the entire interior can be tailored to suit you down to the ground.From the colour scheme (Desert Beige or Moon Grey) to the storage space in the cab and even the interior lighting,everything can be customised to your needs – while maintaining a clear focus on the functionality which will never let you down.

Lion emblem on partial leather seats and new curtains
With the expressive lion emblem on the partial leather seats and the new, practical curtains, stays in the cab are even more pleasant. The new curtain fabric is more hard-wearing and is in the same colour for both interior colour schemes. The cross-cab curtain is designed as a single piece. This makes it easier for handling, cleaning and subsequent new orders.The bunk area can now be made even darker.

PROVEN PERFORMANCE REVVED UP: THE MAN D26 AND D38 ENGINES.

With the MAN D26, our motto was “We can do better.”Its continuous low consumption notwithstanding, perfor-mance clearly shoots for the sky: it offers 80 kg more load capacity, an increase of 10 hp more and a higher torque of +100 Nm, all in order to drive your business forward.

The MAN D38 for the MAN TGX is still the power-house among the MAN engines and feels particularly at home on long-haul routes and in off-road use. With its
three output levels of 397 kW (540 hp), 427 kW (580 hp)and 471 kW (640 hp), it takes even the heaviest load and the biggest incline in its stride.for

Both variants are ready for the current limits as well, since in addition to their EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) they also feature an SCR (selective catalytic reduction) system for off-engine neutralisation of NOx emissions. On-engine measures include their common rail injection system and optimised thermal management. Our comprehensive solution equips you for future driving.

MAKING LIGHT WORK OF PROGRESS: THE MAN D15.
The MAN D15 engine series does away with EGR thanks to enhanced SCR technology and the widespread avail-ability of AdBlue®. Exhaust gas aftertreatment by the SCR catalytic converter and the MAN CRT (continuously regenerating trap) system ensure cleanliness and com-pliance with legislation. Plus, it’s as gentle on service costs as it is frugal with emissions. Its simplified construction means maintenance work is performed even faster, which translates to lower costs.

Even visually the MAN D15 has slimmed down and is significantly compact. When paired with the optimised axle drive, weight was reduced, thereby increasing load capacity. Efficiency is always what comes first when it comes to MAN engines. You can count on it. Finally, there was only one component left for us to improve: the driver.And we took that on, too: first via efficiency data displays and assistance systems like the GPS-based speed control system MAN EfficientCruise®, which analyses the route and automatically adjusts speed to the most cost-effective driving style. Then we added tailored driver training using the data from your specific MAN truck, continuously digitally recorded and ready for evaluation. Together it’s the ideal basis for the perfect interplay of human and MAN.

Always up to the task
The MAN TGX is available in a standard-height version,with a medium-height body featuring good ground clearance, and as an ultra low version with an extremely low frame upper edge for high-volume transport.

Comfort? A safe bet
All components of the MAN TGX chassis are designed for comfort, safety and optimum cost-effectiveness.The hypoid drive axle boasts a low weight, a high load-bearing capacity, a large performance range and long intervals between oil changes. The engines from the MAN D26 and MAN D38 series are also designed for service intervals of up to 140,000 km.

Ideal for long-haul routes – and beyond
The compact battery box and air tank in the rear of the vehicle ensure maximum tank volume. The combination fuel tank made from corrosion-resistant aluminium has a total capacity of 1,380 l. In this version with a step,the AdBlue®reservoir is heated as standard and its combined design makes better use of the installation space than two individual tanks. The overall tank design,service life and appearance were also improved by coating the inside of the aluminium AdBlue®tank with plastic, using sound baffle technology and optimising the design of components such as the filler necks, level indicators and ventilation. The aluminium version is approximately 30% lighter than a steel fuel tank.

What is more, the X control arm incorporates the wishbone and the stabiliser into a single component. This ensures outstanding driving stability and directional stability as well as increasing the load capacity because the vehicle is lighter.

THE MAN TGX: SOMETHING FOR EVERY BODY.
Outstanding body-compatibility, a tidy frame, a high load capacity and superior handling: the MAN TGX meets even the highest expectations down to the tiniest detail.The portfolio ranges from a 4×2 semitrailer tractor to an 8×4/4 chassis or an 8×4/4 heavy-duty tractor with a total towing weight of up to 250 t. In addition to the standard-height version, a lower model is available for high-volume transport as well as a medium-height body for off-road use. The sturdy, rigid frame made from high-tensile, fine-grained steel ensures ideal body-compatibility.A free frame upper edge, a cleverly designed pattern of mounting holes and many sector-specific fittings make connecting the body and – if necessary – subsequently moving components as easy as possible.

Furthermore, the MAN TGX generation offers additional electronic interfaces for sharing data with the body. In addition to the interface behind the front flap, it is now also possible to position one behind the cab.

The MAN media system allows third-party apps with body features to be integrated. What is more, with the body builder portal ABBI (www.abbi.man-mn.com), registered body manufacturers can now find their orders at an early stage of vehicle configuration, allowing the delivery of their complete vehicle to be planned and calculated with greater precision and certainty.

The optional full air suspension with four air bellows set well apart from one another ensures optimum safety on the road and maximum comfort. For bodies with a high
centre of gravity, continuous damping control (CDC) offers outstanding driving stability.

The MAN TGX with a MAN D38 engine can handle even the heaviest of traction jobs. With outputs of 397 kW (540 HP) to 471 kW (640 HP), it is ideal for tasks with high total towing weights, such as transporting construction vehicles, heavy tipper bodies and heavy-duty applications.
