THE MAN TGS Brochure PDF

THE MANY FACETS OF THE MAN TGS.
The MAN TGS is uniquely adaptable: whether you use it for heavy local and distribution transport, on construction sites, for municipal services or as an expert for special tasks, the MAN TGS is a versatile truck which is tailored perfectly to industrial use. It sets standards with its powerful drive, unrivalled load capacity and one-of-a-kind ergonomics.

The MAN TGS boasts a number of practical features.The driver’s workspace is much more streamlined and the rest area has been optimised further. Meanwhile,the traffic jam assist and the stop-and-go function in ACC help you make your way through traffic congestion with ease.

However, our MAN TGS powerhouses don’t just lead the way in the analogue domain: they also offer our customers a comprehensive digital package that pairs tried-and-tested MAN quality with fascinating innovations. Take,for example, the electrical/electronic architecture and inno-vative, digital services with which MAN is opening up a whole new dimension. The MAN TGS – your connected truck – is always connected and fully digital.

From enhanced performance, greater comfort, maximum transport capacity, top quality and service life to exemplary safety and environmental friendliness, and digital connec-tivity, the MAN TGS ticks all the right boxes. Trucks from MAN never fail to deliver top quality, anywhere and anytime.Prepare to be impressed by a truck that maximises value while minimising costs. It will soon win you over – both on the road and in your accounts department.

The ergonomic entry design of the MAN TGS 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 designed as a stair so you have all steps in view. On enter-ing 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, wash-able interior door panelling and a compressed 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 pre-programmed with the key functions or can even be imple-mented 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.

The lowest step, which is prone to damage when driving off-road, is now movable. Its mounting brackets are made from flexible plastic, meaning that they can change shape if they come into contact with the ground and return to their original shape again afterwards.

TOP-CLASS DRIVER’S CAB
The driver’s cab is the heart of the current generation of MAN trucks. We’ve reimagined 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 controls of the MAN TipMatic® automatic gear shift system situated directly on the steering column stalk is just one example.

With this redesign, there’s now all kinds of free space, for you to use whichever way suits you. Because our customers’ requirements are as diverse as our trucks, we attach great importance to wide-ranging configuration options – such as stowage spaces, pull-out drawers or storage compartments, all sorts of boxes, and built-in cupboards for the back walls of our cabs.

One feature is an absolute first: the trailblazing MAN SmartSelect system, which was developed together with our customers, makes using the multimedia system child’s play even in demanding driving situations on construction sites. 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 driver’s cabs, so get in, get comfortable and enjoy all the possibilities.

With a very wide door opening angle of 89 degrees and the very low step position,the MAN TGS clears the way for getting inand out ergonomically, whether you are at a parking lot or on a building site.

The MAN TGS 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.

The traffic situation is becoming ever more demanding and complex. And when off-road, you’re always facing new challenges that call for a driver’s full concentration. It was all the more important to us then to make the cockpit as driver-friendly and organised as possible. Displays and controls are now separated from one another spatially.Reading distances and reachability are thus ergonomically optimised: data is set at a farther distance, making it easier to grasp, functions are colour-coded, and buttons and switches are within easy reach. The focus is clearly set on the most important areas. The driver’s view can easily go between the road and the instruments, without fear of distraction. Just another MAN contribution to making drivers’ lives less complicated and less tiring.

The controls for the MAN media system and MAN SmartSelect are simple to use. All of the displays and controls throughout the vehicle follow a single concept. Symbols, colours, usage, alert and warning sounds as well as design are consistent throughout the cockpit. The quick-selection keys are individually pro-grammable and accelerate workflows. Not to mention notices can be played in any of 30different languages.For voice command operation, a choice of six languages is offered. All of it intuitive to use. After all, the controls –and especially the cutting-edge digital components –were developed by drivers for drivers. This way the driver can see to the truly important things: the cargo and the transport, whatever the terrain.

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

DRIVINGSMART.
With navigation, radio (from standard to digital), video, tele-phone and more tailored to trucks, the infotainment system of the MAN TGS 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, familiarusage meets innovative comfort. The result is one you can see and feel, too, as high-quality surfaces make everyjourney with the MAN TGS tangibly special.

Everything has to come to rest at some point. A good atmo-sphere. A cosy environment. In the sleeping area of the MAN TGS that’s exactly what you’ll find. In the extend-ed cab models TM and TN, a multizone cold-foam mattress and a slatted frame ensure comfort for well-deserved shut-eye and peaceful dreams. Personal items have their spot too in the many, customisable stowagecompartments.

The bed is so comfy, you might want to stay just where you are. And you can, too, since all important functions can be operated and monitored right from the remote control.Lights, locks, heating, windows – all a simple push of a button away. Just like the radio, music, the perimeter 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. Breaks and sleeping times can therefore be used optimally so that you’re well rested and ready to take on upcoming challenges.

In our cabs an auxiliary water heater provides pleasant temperature and air condition. For the TN and TM cabs an electrical auxiliary air-conditioning system (as an option)is ready for use.

The electric air conditioner 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 main-taining 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.
