The MAN TGX: something for everybody.

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 new MAN PAL, Body manufacturers get access to extensive independent programming options for parameters and function logic, quickly and directly via the MAN ABBI body manufacturer portal.

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.

New air suspension control
The air sprung rear axle is now standard in long-haul transport. However, the possibilities and advantages of air suspension are also increasingly being used in many other application segments. The new air suspension control with its improved and extended range of functions takes this trend into account. This include for example, a 2nd rear axle relievable, and a manual and automatic suppression of VASC (Vehicle Air Suspension Control) level control. In addition a selection option of 2nd lowered driving height for compensation of tyre rebound on empty runs. This function assists in observing the height limit (e.g. Ultra). And another new feature is the control of the air suspension of the trailer/semitrailer.

The electronically controlled air suspension VASC (Vehicle Air Suspension Control) allows the vehicle frame to be raised and lowered to suit different deployment scenarios

The control unit for the electronically controlled air suspension (VASC) is installed in a separate holder next to the driver‘s seat and allows the driver to adjust the height of
the vehicle frame quickly and precisely – for example, to adjust the cargo space floor and the loading ramp to the same level. An extended control unit enables the VASC
to be operated via the multifunction steering wheel and
via a menu in the display of the instrumentation.

System improvements:

New functions
Shorter lifting and lowering times (up to 50%)
Remote control with new ergonomic operating design
Control via multifunction steering wheel and on-board menu
Control of the air suspension of the trailer/semitrailer
via remote control or multifunction steering wheel

More traction.

New electronic brake system EBS
The electronic brake system EBS combines the basic function of the electro-pneumatic brake with the extended functions of antilock braking system (ABS) and anti-slip control (ASR). With the aid of EBS, driving and braking procedures can be optimised in many different ways. It thus makes an important contribution to enhancing driving safety, driving comfort and cost-effectiveness. In the brake system of the MAN Truck Generation, the electronic brake system EBS has been further developed and its range of functions expanded with new functions. Active wheel speed sensors with their own power supply and evaluation electronics now replace the previous passive sensors. Active sensors enable extremely accurate and fast speed measurement from just 0.1 km/h. Off-road moving-off behaviour with tandem-axle units is improved with the use of sensors on the second axle. Also new are halt brake braking function with preparation for reversing restriction and rollback detection, MAN EasyStart Offroad hill holder and the hill-climbing brake in conjunction with manual gearbox. It is now also possible to combine the systems in one vehicle.

Electronic anti-slip control (ASR)
In future, the new electronic anti-slip control will be able
to prevent the spinning of driven wheels on all vehicles – including on the driven front axles of vehicles with
MAN HydroDrive^®.

The anti-slip control (ASR) prevents the drive wheels from spinning when moving off or accelerating. This improves traction, particularly on slippery surfaces such as ice, snow, loose chippings or wet cobbles, and ensures stable driving. The further development of the electronic brake system EBS (use of active wheel speed sensors) means that for example vehicles with MAN HydroDrive^® can also be combined with anti-slip control (ASR). This improves traction in this type of drive when a front wheel spins more on one side.

MAN works tipper range
From the MAN factory gate directly and without detours to the construction site – that is the MAN works tipper range. The two, three and four axle chassis with tipper body can be used directly ex-works. This means that everything comes from a single source.

All MAN works tippers are designed as complete vehicles by the MAN engineering departments, have passed the relevant strength calculations and have been validated by the standard MAN driving test processes. The interaction between chassis and body is therefore particularly efficient and reliable.

Enhanced flexibility.

The standardisation includes the arrangement of the following components on the frame:

Tanks (diesel and AdBlue fluid)
Exhaust silencer
Battery box
Compressed air tank
Compressed air management
Fuel pre-filter
Spare wheel
Frame clearance for external attachments

MAN PAL
Great application fit has always been the hallmark of MAN vehicles. MAN PAL simplifies the functional connection of the body to the vehicle systems. MAN PAL offers body manufacturers extensive independent programming options for parameters and function logic, quickly and directly via the MAN ABBI body manufacturer portal.

Connection of additional body camera signals
The vehicle processes up to two camera signals, as standard, which are displayed in the Professional or Advanced media systems. A total of up to five cameras can be connected to a retrofitted camera hub. For a cost-effective overall solution, it is important to select the necessary preparation when configuring the vehicle.
