MAN says it will show off its new truck generation (TG) models at next week's Brisbane Truck Show
The latest trucks from Penske’s MAN brand are set to dominate stand 54 at this year’s Brisbane Truck Show as the business lays its credentials out for all to see.
While the new TG models were unveiled to customers and media in the middle of 2022, the truck show is the first major event in Australia where the general public will be able to easily access examples of the trucks in one place, at one time.
“Since we first introduced the all-new MAN truck generation to customers and media mid-last year, we’ve received amazing feedback from everyone that has driven the TGL, TGM, TGS, and TGX,” says Craig Lee, executive general manager of on-highway at Penske Australia.
“We wholeheartedly believe that the new TG platform is redefining the trucking landscape in Australia, and, what we are hearing, backs that.”
Penske says more than 167,000 hours of design work went into the creation of the new generation of trucks for the Australian and New Zealand market with driver fit, great efficiency, great economy and optimised uptime among the key outcomes of that effort. It was the first time in 20 years a new range was designed with our market in mind.
MAN’s stand will have a 12t GVM TGL powered by MAN’s 250hp D08 SCR-only engine, a 26t GVM TGX powered by MAN’s 13L D26 engine, and the TGX 26.640 with MAN’s powerhouse 15L 640hp engine with 26t GVM and super-spacious ‘maximum’ GX cab.
“The trio on our stand, plus the TGS 26.540 displayed in Technology Alley, clearly show how MAN has drawn on its experience of over 260 years of engineering excellence,” says George Konstantinou, general manager of MAN Truck & Bus at Penske Australia.
“The streamlined and modern cabin workspace sets a new benchmark with an intuitive dash layout, multi-function steering wheel, advanced infotainment system, and SmartSelect navigator.
“Supporting our broad product offering in the heavy-duty, medium-duty, and off-road segments, the new truck generation ranges from the 250hp D08 engine in the TGL to the 640hp D38 Euro 6e engine in the TGX, ensuring the optimal power unit for the job.
“Customers can also count on extended oil drain intervals reducing time off the road and lower tare weights yielding higher payload availability, increasing productivity and optimising uptime.”
Visitors to the Brisbane Truck Show can see the new MAN truck generation on stand 54 in the main hall as well as in Technology Alley on Little Stanley Street.
