MAN Nutzfahrzeuge at bauma 2010

With its current range of vehicles in the Trucknology Generation® and a comprehensive array of services, MAN Nutzfahrzeuge is presenting consistently efficient transport solutions for the construction sector at bauma 2010. For the many and varied operations in main- and sub-construction work, MAN's TGL, TGM, TGS and TGX series offer a broad spectrum of vehicles that set the standards in the market when it comes to reliability, economy, safety and driving comfort.

The new MAN TGS-WW, which was designed especially for the requirements of customers outside Europe, will be celebrating its world premiere at the 29th International Trade Fair for Construction Machinery, Building Material Machines, Mining Machines, Construction Vehicles and Construction Equipment from April 19 through 25 in Munich.

With a gross weight of up to 41 tonnes, the TGS-WW copes with the hardest operational conditions in countries outside Europe. With a choice of M, L or LX cab and a wide range of engines from 350 to 480 hp that meet Euro 2 and Euro 3 exhaust-gas standards, the TGS-WW covers the whole spectrum of transport tasks in target markets such as Russia, Africa, the Middle and Far East.
The TGS-WW comes onto the market in the new design, one that is distinguished by precision and dynamics. Thanks to its aerodynamic fine-tuning, the TGS-WW has a noticeably better air-resistance coefficient than its predecessor. This reduces fuel consumption and repays its operator in hard cash. Moreover, the tendency of the outside mirrors and side windows to soil has been considerably reduced: in countries with a high percentage of unpaved roads and tracks this is a particular advantage, resulting as it does in greater safety. The MAN engines in the TGS-WW also benefit from the aerodynamic improvements. A greater volume of air now flows through the openings of the newly designed plastic bumper to the radiator. This improves the engine's thermal efficiency, a good argument especially in countries with high average temperatures.
The TGS-WW sets standards in ergonomics and quality with the completely redesigned interior of its cab, where new materials create a high-class impression. Practical aspects of the interior architecture: there are plenty of trays, all the buttons and switches are easy to reach, and the clearly arranged instruments are always within the driver's field of vision.
And because demands with respect to safety are also continually becoming more important in countries outside Europe, the well-known driver assistant systems Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) and Lane Guard System (LGS) are now available for the TGS-WW.
