GREAT EFFICIENCY AND ECONOMY.

Power from start to finish.

So that you can get the most out of our high-performance engines at all times, we have a variety of digital tools ready and waiting. As support for every journey, we also offer the MAN EfficientCruise^® service, new in combination with PredictiveDrive: The system weighs up possible speed and gearshift strategies against each other like a strategist and ultimately selects the one with the most economical fuel consumption. Just one of the many MAN ideas to help you get your business where it wants to be. The outstanding efficiency of the MAN trucks is reflected in press tests and the your experiences.

Dynamic torque control
Depending on the torque and engine speed, there are certain ranges in the engine-specific consumption characteristic map in which the engine can be operated most efficiently, i.e. with the lowest fuel consumption per output kilowatt-hour. MAN’s intelligent dynamic torque control automatically brings the operating parameters of the engine within these ranges. In this context, the Efficiency Plus driving program dynamically reduces torque. The pre-requisite is that the reduction does not result in a gearshift. The function can be used with and without MAN EfficientCruise^® – both in cruise control operation and when driving freely.

Additional reduction of engine speed by 50 rpm with
MAN EfficientRoll gearbox function
The MAN EfficientRoll gearbox function automatically shifts the gearbox to neutral position N on slight downhill gradients, thus helping to reduce fuel consumption. During rolling phases, the engine is disconnected from the gear-box and continues running at only 550 rpm, instead of the usual idling speed of 600 rpm. Fewer revolutions consume
less fuel!

Economical driving style – functionality of Perform
The digital service Perform assists drivers in optimising the economy of their driving styles. Perform evaluates all the relevant vehicle data with respect to the economic efficiency of the driving style. The service provides important vehicle data about utilisation of cruise control or theservice brake, for example.

Efficient drivetrain.

Especially for high mileage in long-distance transport of 120,000 km per year and more, the efficiency of the drive components is decisive for the economy of the vehicle. Everything fits together in the MAN trucks: Efficient and powerful engines and the new generation of hypoid axles
lay the foundation for exceptionally low fuel consumption.

With every stage of development, a high level of engineering skill reduces fuel consumption and increases performance. Recent example: the MAN D26 in Euro VIe. Brings 10 hp and 50 Nm more to the road and still consumes up to 3.3%^* less fuel. The D26 engine now also comes with a peak power rating of 540 hp (397kW) and 2,650 Nm maximum torque, offering reliable, economical and particularly powerful propulsion.

* Compared to the previous model.

The MAN D15 engine series does away with EGR thanks to enhanced SCR technology and the widespread availability of AdBlue^®. Exhaust gas after treatment by the SCR catalytic converter and the MAN CRT (continuously regenerating trap) system ensure cleanliness and compliance with legislation. Plus, 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^® with PredictiveDrive. 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.

New generation of hypoid axles
The new generation of hypoid axles enables a driveline configuration that is optimally matched to the respective application: Lighter and more efficient. As single axle or tandem-axle assembly.

The MAN TGS is pre-programmed for efficiency.

MAN has taken efficiency to the next level with the MAN TipMatic^®. This system enables the vehicle to automatically recognise the load and incline conditions and optimise the gear changing strategy to match. Whether the truck is unladen or fully loaded, MAN TipMatic^® automatically selects the ideal gear for pulling away. Moreover, the wide gear spread and software which recognises inclines guarantee outstanding performance when moving off. “SmartShifting” is a further evolution of the well known “SpeedShifting” and minimises traction interruptions when changing gear while travelling uphill, for instance. “Idle Speed Driving” enables comfortable moving off and driving at idling speed. This feature allows the driver to manoeuvre the truck with precision and sensitivity or “just go with the flow” in slow moving traffic on the motorway. And should the truck get stuck in snow or in wet, loose ground, the rocking free function makes it easier to drive off, especially due to the ability of the clutch to rapidly open and closing.

In addition, MAN TipMatic^® also contains pre-programmed driving settings for various driving situations, such as the

fuel saving Efficiency program, Manoeuvre mode, programs for heavy loads and Performance mode for a more agile driving style. This ensures that your truck will always perform to the max, anytime, anywhere.

MAN TipMatic^® 12 for MAN D26 and D15 engines.
The MAN TipMatic^® 12 offers significant added value
for applications in which payload and consumption play decisive roles.

The twelve-speed TipMatic gearbox has twelve forward and two reverse gears. There are two versions of the gearbox: direct drive and overdrive. The automated manual gearbox independently performs clutch actuation and gearshifts. The MAN TipMatic^® shift system uses software control functions to determine the optimum moving-off and gearshift strategy in all situations in conjunction with the load and slope detection function. The innovative SmartShifting function

permits particularly fast gear changes with minimum interruptions in tractive force as required and thus increases efficiency. Due to its three-shaft design, the gearbox has a low weight with high transmission efficiency.

New Brake Generation
The pneumatically actuated disc brakes are equipped with internally ventilated brake discs which, with their optimum heat dissipation, ensure a sustained high brake output. In the version with the brake lining return, the brake linings are automatically pushed away from the brake disc again after releasing the brake, with the aid of spring elements so that no residual torque is generated.

The MAN TGS knows every hill – and the best gear to match.

Complex chess game on uphill gradients: the new PredictiveDrive function of the MAN EfficientCruise^® GPS cruise control no longer drives blindly and stubbornly up-hill, but weighs up possible speed and gearshift strategies against each other like a strategist and ultimately selects
the one with the most economical fuel consumption.

By taking into account the selected navigation route, or without navigation the most likely, the cruise control function MAN EfficientCruise^® calculates the route with its uphill and downhill gradients up to three kilometres ahead with the aid of three-dimensional map data. The new PredictiveDrive supplements the effect of MAN EfficientCruise^®, especially on uphill and downhill gradients. The PredictiveDrive system continuously analyses potential driving and gearshift strategies in these route sections and selects the most efficient one depending on the situation. This makes it possible to prevent unnecessary traction interruptions due
to gear hunting and frequent gearshifts. Depending on the topographical conditions, the available torque is enabled
or reduced as part of the dynamic torque adjustment.

In addition, the characteristics of the selected driving program are also taken into account.

What is new is that a reduced form of dynamic torque adjustment is also used in the Efficiency driving program – with a correspondingly positive effect on the fuel consumption of the entire fleet. Previously, the positive effect of dynamic torque adjustment was reserved for the Efficiency Plus driving program. The aim of the PredictiveDrive function is generally to make the best possible use of the predicted topographical changes on the route in order to be as fuel efficient as possible by actively varying the speed, gear and available engine torque. With the goal of implementing this
at almost average speed neutrality.

For example, it may be advantageous:

to drive into an uphill gradient with momentum and shift down early,
to use the full engine torque when on the gradient,
and to reduce the engine torque again at the end of the incline.

MAN EfficientCruise^® and PredictiveDrive are already active from low speeds (approx. 30 km/h). The system works both when driving freely and in cruise control mode. The anticipatory system reactions on uphill gradients ensure significantly better drivability and thus also increase driver acceptance of the dynamic torque adjustment.

Within a tolerance range, adaptation of the vehicle speed to the topography can be higher or lower than the desired speed set by the driver. This maximum deviation from the desired speed can be set in four ECO levels. In this way, the driver is easily able to adjust the potential fuel saving to the road surface, visibility and traffic conditions.

More traction at the touch of a button.

Of course, anyone who makes it up the mountain wants
to come back down again, too. That’s where the MAN BrakeMatic smart brake with electric braking and ABS comes into play. They make it possible, for example, to maintain a constant speed when going downhill by regulating the sustained-action brakes automatically. In situations where you have to react fast, the MAN braking system is exactly the partner you want at your side, too: based on
the strength of pedal movement, the braking assistant recognises when hazard braking is needed and immediately activates full braking power. No matter where the road
takes you, the MAN TGS gives you the power and security you need.

Improved aerodynamics.

The better the headwind flows around a vehicle, the less fuel is required for driving. An aerodynamically optimised A-pillar cladding has a specially shaped attachment made of flexible plastic, which improves airflow around the A-pillar and thus – due to lower eddies – reduces drag. Vehicles with the MAN OptiView mirror replacement system benefit to a greater extent from the new aerodynamically optimised A-pillar cladding and the calm airflow in this area.

Added convenience.
