MAN’s truck programme ranges from TGL (7.5 – 12 t) to the medium range in the Trucknology® Generation TGM (14 – 18 t) through to the TGA range, which covers permissible gross weights ranging from 18 to 50 tonnes.
The TGL was awarded the “Truck of the Year 2006“ title. The current heavy TGA range had already won this title in 2001. TGL is the sixth MAN range to win this award – a success which no other manufacturer has so far been able to achieve. In 2007 the TGA will be continued with the new TGS and TGX ranges.
