MAN TGS

Advantages of MAN vehicles

Specifications

A distinctive feature of the MAN tgs car is the presence in the truck of a special engine, the volume of which is 10.5 - 12.4 liters. Its power level ranges from 360 to 440 hp. The vehicle is equipped with a 12- or 16-speed transmission. Reliable braking system is controlled by high-quality electronics. Other equally important specifications include:

The MAN tgs is equipped with ESP. It minimizes the potential risk of rollover and also makes it much better to handle skids. The new models have been significantly modified. Among the main modern functions, fuel injection can be noted. The emergence of new filter elements. The engine has become not only powerful, but has been brought to a whole new environmental level.

Transmission

Construction trucks have offroad gearboxes that reduce shift times and improve the vehicle's dynamic part in difficult road conditions. The transmission installed on MAN TGS trucks has 16-speed AF manual gearboxes. There is a hydrostatic control drive MAN Comfort Shift and a Servo Shift shift system.

The latter has both accelerating and direct top gears. In addition, German MAN TGS vehicles are equipped with ZF Man Tip Tronic gearboxes, where there is an automated control that allows to achieve a reduction in “fuel appetite”. In order to use diesel fuel more rationally, it is necessary to turn on the desired speed at a certain period of time.

The MAN TipMatic gearbox copes with this task more easily and more favorably. It functions both automatically and in mechanical mode by pressing a button on the steering column lever. When the EVB engine retarder (available as a separate option) is activated, the gearbox automatically shifts to the most favorable gear and the braking forces can be fully used.

If distribution transportation with numerous speed changes prevails, this technology will help to relieve the driver as much as possible. Thanks to this, the owner concentrates on the road as much as possible.

Moreover, the MAN TipMatic transmission forces the power unit to operate in economy mode, which minimizes diesel fuel consumption, and the box itself operates in light mode.

Brake system

The truck is equipped with a reliable system with built-in EBS. This feature effectively protects the driver. The driver gets the opportunity to gently start from a place, as high-quality ventilated discs are installed on the car. Also, a positive result in the braking process can be achieved with the help of a pneumatic system and auxiliary braking, which is controlled by electronic devices.

The advantage of the brake system is not only functionality, but also safety, wear resistance, in addition, everything works at an automatic level. The truck is equipped with the MAN BrakeMatic option, which helps to maintain the most stable speed during the movement. This is especially important when driving the tractor downhill.

Chassis

The frame of the ladder structure, cut from high strength steel, is used as the basis. In addition, the car can be supported on a spar frame. The suspension of a German car is quite unusual. For the front wheels, the experts decided to install parabolic springs, and for the rear - air suspension. Modern implementations include hypoid bridges.

In addition to the smooth running and silent operation of the truck, the use of bridges of this type has a positive effect on the “fuel appetite”. The MAN TGS tractor also has a hydraulic drive, which improves traction and patency both on good road surfaces and beyond. The civil works will require the design of a 2-axle platform with air suspension only.

The rest of the situations involve leaf springs with parabolic leaf springs. As for the air suspension, it is controlled by an electronic system, which helps to more accurately mount additional equipment on the “trolley”. The vehicles have a PriTarder engine brake, which increases the traction potential of the truck and its cross-country ability. With MAN HydroDrive, it is possible to connect the front wheels, which also improves the handling, maneuverability and cross-country ability of the vehicle.

Interestingly, the MAN leaf spring suspension does not require maintenance. This also includes springs, swivel bearings and rubber one-piece plain bearings.

The MAN TGS truck has a reliable braking system, which includes the electronic EBS system. This technology provides good protection for the driver of the truck. The owner can safely start moving from a place, because the car has high-quality ventilated brake discs.

But the good results of the brake system would be hard to achieve if not for some additional elements. The German MAN TGS has a pneumatic system and auxiliary braking controlled by electronic sensors. The advantages of this technology include operability, safety, stability and automated control.

MAN TGS 440 have the MAN BrakeMatic option, which helps to maintain a stable speed while driving. This technology is very helpful when driving a truck downhill. Not without electronic systems ABS and ASR. The brakes received a dual-circuit structure. The steering has a steering complex and a hydraulic booster.

Safety

Reliable and efficient qualities in freight transport are very necessary. The higher the truck's safety level, the fewer accidents there will be. Therefore, the German specialists of MAN set the bar high in the development of innovative security technologies. MAN TGS trucks are used not only in European countries, and there are also reliable and proven safety technologies.

The safety components of MAN include an electronic stability program (ESP). This technology constantly monitors the state of the moving car. It can automatically intervene in the operation of the engine control system and the brake system if there is a threat of skidding or rollover.

In addition, this includes adaptive cruise control (ACC). The distance to the vehicle ahead is often calculated incorrectly. With the help of adaptive cruise control, depending on the presets, the distance to the vehicle ahead is automatically set. Therefore, thanks to this system, the probability of a collision is significantly reduced.

The MAN TGS truck also has a system that monitors road markings (LGS). It includes an auxiliary system using video cameras. The technology can alert the owner to the inadvertent crossing of road markings or if the vehicle has left its lane.

With bright headlights, safety is also significantly improved. The novelty features freeform reflectors and H7 lamps that have an exceptionally long life. They illuminate the road better. Among the novelties, one can single out a static cornering lighting system.

She is able to automatically connect during the operation of the direction indicator and at speeds up to 30 kilometers per hour. In addition, to ensure better safety, the Germans equipped their MAN TGS with:

• daytime running lights;
• lamp for maneuvering at the entrance for the 2nd driver;
• LED version of parking and marker lights.

A system that reminds you of an unfastened seat belt allows you to feel more confident behind the wheel. For a long time, if the belt is fastened, then this is the key to maximum safety. This technology is able to give the owner a sound signal about an unfastened seat belt before starting to move.

For 2 minutes, this signal will be periodically repeated at a speed of 15 kilometers per hour. Confident driving of a MAN TGS truck is possible with the help of the MAN BrakeMatic brake system, which has ABS and ASR functions. For a road train, an important point is the braking distance. The electronic braking system (EBS) will help you avoid adverse situations, which shortens the braking distance.

It has ABS and ASR functions. Thanks to the automatic distribution of brake forces, the trailer or semi-trailer brake mechanism is optimally balanced, the braking distance is shortened, the wear of all brake pads is evened out and their “life” is maximized.

With the help of the emergency braking system, it is possible to register the speed and force of pressing the brake pedal, choosing the most optimal pressure in the brake system up to the full braking force. The technology was taught to recognize sudden braking and immediately increase the pressure in the brake system to the limit.

A good help for the driver of the MAN TGS is the active CDC roll stabilization and roll stabilization with a high load. With this system, the shock absorbers are automatically controlled to stabilize the roll thanks to the technology of dynamic damper control (CDC). This helps prevent roll and wobble with respect to the transverse axle.
