    Save fuel, not performance.
    More efficiency out of every drop of diesel. Thats
    the principle behind the torquey MAN common-rail
    engines. They combine powerful dynamics and the
    best of running performance with attractive service
    costs and low fuel consumption. How well power
    and driving ease can work together is underscored
    in the automated MAN TipMatic  gear change,
    with which you can move up in terms of comfort
    and economy. The efficient development of power
    in the MAN TGX lends you reliability in keeping to
    tight schedules. That way youre sure of reaching
    every destination. Especially the operating profit
    you target.

    Drivers who cover 150000 or more kilometres in
    long-distance transport a year have a lot of stories
    to tell. We listened attentively to just what truckers
    say and our findings went into the development of
    the new Trucknology  range MAN TGX. The result
    is a truck predestined for the worlds highways.
    A truck for entrepreneurs with a vision, and for
    drivers with a passion. A vehicle that puts reliability
    in a whole new perspective.
