Man Truck Bus Group, a global commercial vehicle manufacturer, has carried out a mid- to large-sized truck generation shift for the first time in 20 years. The company ambitiously introduced the next-generation truck, which has changed its internal and external design and battlefield systems to driver-oriented and improved fuel efficiency by up to 8 percent.

On the 10th (U.S. time), Man Truck Bus Group introduced ‘New MAN TG Series’, which is a new mid- to large-sized truck line-up, in Bilbao, Spain, for the first time in the world. The New MAN TG series is the first completely changed model in 20 years since the TGA was launched in 2000.

It consists of four types: TGX and TGS (18-41 tons), medium and large cargo trucks (12-26 tons), and TGL (7.5 to 12 tons). More than 600 people, including officials from major buyers, suppliers and reporters from around the world, gathered for the first time in 20 years. The new mid- to long-range truck series has made changes in all aspects, including safety, durability, efficiency and ride quality. To ideally design the inside of the truck, he met some 700 drivers and listened to their opinions. It then invited some 300 customers from 16 countries to its headquarters in Germany for a workshop and reflected their ideas on the development of new cars.

Compared to previous models, its economic feasibility and eco-friendly features have also improved significantly. Adding aerodynamic design and optimal component design to Euro 6D engine, it has improved fuel economy by up to 8 percent compared to current Euro 6C engine.

In addition, high-tech driving assistance systems such as ‘turn assist’ that can prevent accidents when driving in urban areas, ‘lane change assist’ that detects vehicles by side and warns them about accidents are newly introduced.

The new truck also has an electronic architecture. It is designed to reduce maintenance burden by custom design by each customer and to prepare for adding new functions in the future.
