For the toughest operations all around the world -

MAN TGS, TGS WW and MAN CLA

Rugged and efficient trucks from MAN Truck & Bus meet the highest demands of markets outside Europe.

The differences in typical requirements from region to region are far bigger in overseas markets than they are in European markets. Amongst other things, these have to do with climatic conditions, the state of the roads or the great stresses on vehicle and axles in daily use. This is why MAN has the TGS, TGS WW and CLA series in its range of products; they are designed especially to cope with the challenging transport tasks outside Europe.

MAN TGS-WW – the premium truck for the toughest of operations

Particularly rugged suspension and frame components distinguish the MAN TGS WW as semitrailer tractor, chassis and tipper. For the most demanding operation outside Europe, the MAN TGS WW has been equipped with attention to the many details that have proven themselves in practice. These include a stoneguard in front of the radiator, radiators suitable for the tropics, protective grilles on headlights and rear lights, air intakes directed upwards with pre-filter, stone guards for the fuel tank or 24" tyres.

Whether it's two, three or four axles, gross weights of 19 to 44 or 50 tonnes, on-road or off-road drive, the range of choices is a big one. Customers can choose from three different design heights, hypoid or planetary hub reduction axles, and leaf or leaf/air suspension – in the product range of the robustly designed TGS WW, the efficient tool can be found for on-road transport in short- and long-haul as well as off-road on construction sites or surface mines.

MAN offers cabs in three different sizes for the TGS WW series: the compact M cab is suitable for work on construction sites and surface mines. It is also fitted on municipal vehicles or trucks operating in short- and long-haul transport. If the driver occasionally has to sleep over or rest in the vehicle, or if space is needed to store equipment in the cab, then the 400-millimetre longer L-cab is the one to choose. It has a comfortable 2,050-millimetre long and 750-millimetre wide bunk behind the seats. On longer trips, the high LX cab provides the optimal space for alternating between work and relaxation. And what's more, this cab has space for a multifunctional shelf or a second bunk. Both longer cabs, the L and the LX, have two capacious stowage compartments that can be accessed from the outside via big flaps. The driver can also reach the contents of the left-hand stowage compartment comfortably from the inside.

As far as power is concerned, operators can rely on efficient MAN D20 and D26 series in-line six-cylinder engines with the common-rail injection that has demonstrated its reliability thousands of times over. Depending on registration regulations, the TGS WW engines comply with the Euro II, III or IV exhaust-gas emission standards. The developers of the engines have taken into account that fuel quality varies, in particular that the proportion of sulphur in diesel fuel outside Europe is often higher (up to 2,000 parts per million). MAN offers engines with outputs of 360 hp (265 kW), 400 hp (294 kW), 440 hp (324 kW) as well as 480 hp (353 kW) and for certain applications, 540 hp (397 kW). In the Euro II and Euro III versions, the exhaust-gas treatment of these MAN engines does not require the additive AdBlue®. This makes the driver's daily routine easier. For compliance with the Euro IV standard, MAN uses maintenance-free SCR (selective catalytic reduction) technology. Wherever a rugged chassis that meets the requirements of the Euro V or Euro VI emission standards is needed, in many cases the MAN TGS series fits the bill.

The engines are coupled with precise, comfortably shifting transmissions. The synchronised manual transmission has 16 speeds. Twelve-speed MAN TipMatic® automated transmission provides the highest level of shifting comfort.For off-road vehicles, the MAN TipMatic® in off-road mode offers a performance-orientated shift strategy with faster shift times.

At the IAA 2012, MAN presented the TGS WW for heavy-duty operation with a torque converter clutch. This enables 250 tonnes gross train weight. The driveline comprises a Euro-IV-compliant 540-hp engine, an automated 12-speed MAN TipMatic® transmission and WSK 440 torque converter clutch with primary retarder and auxiliary radiator. This makes it possible for the driver to execute precisely controlled and practically wear-free starting and manoeuvring with heavy loads. In automatic mode, drivers don't have to operate the clutch or change gears, so they are able to concentrate fully on driving with their heavy and oversized cargo.

MAN CLA – rugged and reliable, made by MAN

With its MAN CLA series, MAN is aiming at markets in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. The MAN CLA is successfully operated in over 25 countries. These are extremely resilient two-, three- and four-axle chassis for a multitude of various usages as platform trucks or semitrailer tractors. Customers can also obtain complete vehicles via MAN, with tipper, refuse collection or concrete-mixer bodies. MAN rounds off the CLA range at the top with a four-axle tipper chassis for a gross vehicle weight of 31 tonnes, initially for the Indian market. This vehicle is especially suitable for heavy-duty work on construction sites or surface mines.

Reliable MAN components are the basis of the MAN CLA. With its robust chassis, economical engines and 20 and 22.5-inch tyres designed for poor roads, the MAN CLA covers the weight class from 15 to 31 tonnes. Day and sleeper cabs provide the driver with an ergonomically designed workplace equipped with air-sprung seat and optionally available air-conditioning system. MAN also produces the reliable six-cylinder in-line engines, renowned for their long service life, as well as the rugged, resilient planetary axles. Alternatively, hypoid rear axles are installed for long-haul operation.

Available engines range from 220 hp (162 kW) to 280 hp (206 kW). The engines comply with the Euro II and III exhaust-gas standards and can be run on diesel fuel with a maximum sulphur content of 500 parts per million.

Production of the MAN CLA takes place in one of India's most modern commercial vehicle plants, in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. This plant delivers either complete vehicles with or without bodies to customers or CKD kits to the regional assembly plants for MAN vehicles.
