EXCELLENT DRIVER FIT

ERGONOMICS START WITH THE VERY 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 designed 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 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 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.

With MAN you can take a load 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 extended 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 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. Personal items have their spot too in the many stowage compartments. After all, in
the GX cab there are more than 1,100 litres of space at the driver’s disposal. The storage concept includes a special feature: 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 temperature conditions in your environment. The electric air conditioner 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.

New Interior Colours
Experience a friendly, feel-good atmosphere with the new colour scheme, Desert Beige with Tuscan Red, or go for a timeless modern style, supported by minimalistic elements in the new Dark Moon Grey with Silver colour scheme.

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

Top-class driver’s cab.

The driver’s cab is the heart of the MAN TGX. 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 design, there’s now all kinds of free space.

And a host of clever storage areas and compartments make great use of the additional room. The overhead lockers above the windscreen, multifunctional compartments 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 the trailblazing MAN SmartSelect system.
It was developed together with our customers and
makes using the multimedia system a child's play, even in

demanding driving conditions. With MAN SmartSelect, functions such as maps, music, cameras and more can be selected via a userfriendly dial with hand rest.

Fully digital driver's display with new styling and functions
An interesting update is the new styling and functions of the fully digital instrumentation. The previously semi-circular scales make way for two sharper curves. This makes it even easier to distinguish between the lower and middle reading ranges. A calm display mode is also an option wherein all secondary information is moved into the background and only essential driving information is displayed. Finally, the digital axle load indicator for vehicles with full air suspension, including gross train weight is available.

Improved Acoustic Insulation*
In addition to the noise-insulating windscreen, the encapsulation of the new D30 PowerLion driveline, reduces the noise radiated from the engine. Naturally, the reduction of noise in the interior results in better driver performance and concentration thanks to deeper sleep.

* Only available in combination with the new D30 engine.

Everything in order.

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 is all the more important to us then to make the cockpit as driver-friendly and organised as possible. Displays and controls are 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 programmable and accelerate workflows. Not to mention notices can be played in any of
30 different 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.

Direct call-up of central operating menu for assistance systems
Assistance systems make driving comfortable and the
roads safe – but only if they are active and correctly set
up for the intended use. With the new button, the central operating menu for all assistance systems is only a push
of a button away.

The new button directly opens the central operating menu
for configuring the assistance systems available in the vehicle. This simplifies switching on and off as well as configuration of all the available assistance systems – especially with frequently changing drivers. Depending on the equipment, the button for central operation of the assistance systems is located either on the multifunction steering wheel or in the assistance system key panel on the instrument panel (for vehicles without multifunction steering wheel). There is also a button for temporary switching off
the acoustic signals of the assistance systems.

Everything under control.

The controls of the MAN TipMatic^® automatic gear shift system have been placed in the right-hand steering column stalk. That not only frees up space between the seats, as the usual console between the seats is no longer needed, but also improves ergonomics and safety. Close at hand as well – to the right of the combi-dashboard – is the control for the electric handbrake. This means it is optimally positioned with respect to gear controls and the ignition. It can be operated at any time but is now also automatically activated when the vehicle is parked and released when it moves off. This is another idea which creates additional room where a lever was previously needed. One more smart solution that adds to the extra space and comfort that MAN is known for. And, in particular, a big relief when all around you it’s bumper to bumper and the streets are a mess.

Driving smart.

With navigation, radio (from standard to digital), video, telephone 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" or 12.3" display – both with brilliant HD resolution – makes for great viewing. Direct access buttons and a USB-C input connection are part of the standard fittings, and from Advanced level on up to two smartphones can be paired. The media system Medium 7"
is an entry level media system version for vehicles that are subject to the new statutory provisions on equipment with
a Reversing Motion System.

The infotainment system can be operated either via a classic control system with buttons or via MAN Smart-Select (can be combined from version Advanced 7"). 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 MAN TGX tangibly special.

Reversing Motion System
Overview to the rear when manoeuvring – ex-works!
When reversing a solo vehicle, the camera image of the camera installed ex-works in the rear area supports the driver. People or objects behind the vehicle can be detected, trailers or semitrailers are in full view when connecting or hitching up.

The image from the camera is automatically shown on the MAN media system display when reverse gear is engaged and the vehicle rolls backwards. A button on the instrument panel with a camera symbol enables manual activation of the system.

A new perspective.

With the innovative MAN OptiView digital mirror-replacement system, enhanced safety takes to the road. This is not only because MAN does away with mirror arms and depicts the statutorily required fields of vision, but also because in critical driving situations such as manoeuvring, turning off and changing lanes, the extended views provide the driver with the optimal overview of the traffic situation.

MAN OptiView does far more than conventional mirror systems. Besides the statutorily required fields of vision,
the digital mirror replacement system also shows views specifically adapted for various driving situations (e.g. turning off, manoeuvring, driving on motorways). The functional principle and display concept of MAN OptiView are thus optimally matched to natural human perception, enabling the driver to visually grasp the vehicle surroundings and traffic activity quickly, evaluate them reliably and deal with them safely.

Components of the system

Five cameras: Two cameras (near range and wide-angle) on each side of the vehicle above the door frame

replace the external rearview, wide-angle and kerb
mirrors. A camera on the A-pillar on the co-driver’s
side replaces the front mirror

Additional displays in the cab on the left and right sides, near the A-pillars
Door control modules for manual settings and changing the views

Camera systems

Manual fold-in arms (side cameras)
Filtering of glare (e.g. when the sun is low or there is
traffic behind the vehicle)
Protection by guided airflow against splashing water
for continuously high image quality, even in the rain
Automatically heated side cameras (depending on
the ambient temperature) for clear pictures even
under frosty conditions

Displays

HD quality (resolution 1,920 x 1,080 pixels)
Display 1 (driver’s side): 12 inches
Display 2 (co-driver’s side): 15 inches
Brightness and contrast of displays 1 and 2 adjust automatically to the ambient brightness. In addition, the display brightness can be adjusted manually, for example for night trips.

Safety first, every time.

MAN has the right cab for every need – and maximum safety, comfort and ergonomics travel with you wherever you go. Our cabs are designed for fatigue free, focussed driving, relaxing breaks and maximum passenger protection. All of the cabs offer optimum safety thanks to a range of features, including the mirror system comprising main and wide angle mirror, large kerb mirror and front mirror. Or the innovative MAN OptiView digital mirror replacement system which provides the driver with the optimal overview of the traffic situation. A heated windscreen ensures an unobstructed view even at the coldest times of the year.

Aerodynamically optimised sun visor for MAN GX and GM cabs
The design sun visor in dark grey adds a touch of class to the front of the GX and GM cabs. It prevents the driver from being dazzled when the sun is at a steep angle. The design has been optimised for aerodynamics, resulting in better airflow around the A pillar at the roof and preventing separation of the air stream which is unfavourable for fuel consumption. This improvement of the drag coefficient (cd value) reduces fuel consumption.
