High reliability

Since 2002, the MAN TGS has been used on long-haul routes. The high strength and reliability of this series of trucks was appreciated during this time. Thanks to a variety of innovative assistance systems, it delivers its cargo reliably and on time to its destination. The necessary safety on the road will be ensured by such serial technologies as electronic stability control (ESP), adaptive cruise control (ACC) or a road marking system (LGS), which will relieve the driver during long journeys and, in case of danger, take the necessary measures to its prevention.

The Emergency Brake Assist (EBA) will warn the driver of the risk of a collision with a vehicle ahead or standing and, if necessary, will take control of the braking process. The active roll stabilization system CDC (Continuous Damping Control) will provide greater driving safety for vehicles with a high center of gravity, such as swap body trucks or timber trucks.

High payload

The lighter the car, the higher its payload, and the less fuel it consumes. The exceptionally lightweight MAN TGS-TS frame (with tank seat) is made of high-strength fine-grain steel and therefore has high bending strength. The new range of heavy trucks is distinguished by its lightweight design, which means that even with a wide range of exhaust/treatment components to meet Euro 6 requirements, the vehicle's curb weight has increased by only 200 kg.

Ease of upgrading and re-equipping the body

Thanks to the flat top edge of the frame, mounting any body on the MAN TGS is quick and easy. The perforated frame rail allows you to easily install additional attachments or modify the body. If necessary, the free part of the frame behind the cab can be used to install additional attachments, such as a crane. Thanks to the different wheelbases, the MAN TGS can be easily adapted to the height of different coupling devices, as well as Euro fifth-wheel trailers and curtainsider semi-trailers.

Economical

In the area of domestic long-distance and medium-distance transport, the MAN TGS is far ahead of its competitors in terms of its efficiency. Thanks to its low unladen weight, it has an exceptionally high payload. The innovative common rail fuel injection system of MAN engines ensures high power density and low fuel consumption.

High efficiency requires a powerful drive

MAN Euro 6 vehicles stand out thanks to their reliable engines, sophisticated components and optimally matched technologies. The basis of all this is high-torque 6-cylinder engines. To meet the very stringent emission requirements, MAN uses key technologies such as common rail injection, exhaust gas recirculation (AGR), selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and diesel particulate filter (DPF/CRT). The result: MAN Euro 6 engines set new standards in terms of fuel consumption and AdBlue®.

The transmission is a model of efficiency:

6-cylinder diesel engines with Common-Rail fuel injection system D20 and D26 with power up to 480 hp. With. in Euro 6 version
Connectable front-wheel drive MAN HydroDrive®
MAN TipMatic® automatic transmission in Direct Drive and Overdrive versions
Efficient transmission with optimal gear ratio for maximum fuel economy

Place of TGS trucks in MAN's assortment

According to their carrying capacity, MAN trucks are divided into the following series: TGA (basic), TGS and TGX (heavy-duty), TGM (medium-duty), TGL (light-duty). The gross weight of TGS series trucks ranges from 18 to 41 tons. There are differences in wheel formulas. These are truck tractors with wheel formulas 4x2, 6x4, 8x4, 8x6. And also - all-wheel drive options 4x4, 6x6, 8x8. Accordingly, the number of axles that MAN TGS vehicles can have is two, three or four, with high loads on the front axle.

If the niche of MAN mainliners is occupied by the powerful and productive TGX, and the MAN TGM dominates in the middle weight, then the TGS series car has a number of unique characteristics that qualitatively distinguish it from the rest.

Efficient chassis options

The MAN TGS is available in 2-, 3- and 4-axle versions with high permissible front axle loads, various suspension versions (leaf/pneumatic and pneumatic) and with adaptation to different coupling heights for use with curtainsider semi-trailers and Euro semi-trailers.

Overall height x 4

MAN offers the TGS in normal height, medium height with high ground clearance, all-wheel drive height and in the Ultra-low version with an exceptionally low top edge of the frame for transporting large loads.

Easy to retrofit and re-equip the body - stable frame, reliable foundation

Made from high-strength fine-grain steel, the frame combines high torsional and bending rigidity and low curb weight with ease of body modification and modification. Thanks to the flat top edge of the frame, mounting any body on the MAN TGS is quick and easy. The narrow perforated frame rail makes it easy to install additional or attachments without time-consuming drilling work. Modern paint coating technology using environmentally friendly water-based paints guarantees reliable anti-corrosion protection for all frame and chassis parts.

Cabin LX

The LX MAN TGS cab offers high living comfort, maximum space and optimal visibility during long-distance transport. The driver can use the full height from floor to ceiling; in the rear of the cabin (if necessary) you can install an additional berth. This exceptionally lightweight cab is also very economical: for example, the front of the cab has been aerodynamically optimized to meet Euro 6 standards, with larger cooling air intake openings in the bumper. This not only increases the volume of air flow passing through the car's radiator, but also minimizes fuel consumption.

Cabin L

The extended L cab of the MAN TGS optimally meets the requirements of regional or international distribution transport. In addition to its low seating height, it features excellent visibility and practical equipment for short breaks or long rest periods. This exceptionally lightweight cab is also very economical: for example, the front of the cab has been aerodynamically optimized to meet Euro 6 standards, with larger cooling air intake openings in the bumper. This not only increases the volume of air flow passing through the car's radiator, but also minimizes fuel consumption.

Distinctive features, areas of application

The power of TGS series engines varies from 350 to 440 horsepower. The suspension of trucks in this series comes in two types: spring or pneumatic, with the ability to adjust the height of the coupling devices. This series is also distinguished by disc brakes and a reinforced chassis. The most widely used truck tractors are 4x2 and 6x4 wheeled tractors - two- and three-axle vehicles with a total weight of =/- 20 tons. They are often used for cargo transportation of their distribution centers by various network trading companies. MAN TGS vehicles with a higher weight are widely used for transporting petroleum products by tanker trucks and construction materials in heavy special trailers.

MAN TGS trucks are effective partners for work not only on public roads, but also on difficult terrain on large construction sites that require frequent and fairly sophisticated maneuvering. The MAN TGS concept represents the compactness of the truck's external dimensions and the ability to set a maximum body length. With a cabin width of 2.3 meters, the truck is optimally suited for distribution of goods, short-distance transport, as well as for use on construction sites and in the utility sector. The degree of versatility of application is quite high. Therefore, a wide number of not only truck tractors, but also various vehicles, including dump trucks and special equipment (concrete mixers, etc.) are sold on the MAN TGS chassis.

Technical equipment MAN TGS 33.440 6×4 BBS.WW

TGS truck tractors, for use as part of a road train, with a 6x4 wheelbase, have increased load capacity and can consistently reduce the cost of freight transport. MAN TGS 33.440 6×4 BBS.WW: this truck tractor has a maximum permitted weight of thirty-three tons and is intended for interregional and intraregional routes as part of a road train.

Designation MAN TGS 33.440 6x4 BBS. WW, according to the general German classification common to MAN and Mercedes-Benz trucks, 33.440 means the gross weight of the vehicle and the power of its engine in horsepower. The letters “WW” indicate possible sales markets, that is, exports throughout the world (World Wide), except the European Union. First of all, this is due to the design of the engine - it complies with Euro-3...4...5 standards, and not currently required in the countries of the continent Euro-6.

The car itself is MAN TGS 33.440 6x4 BBS. WW is positioned as a “heavy construction” (and also “employed in a variety of city road work”) worker. Moreover, manufacturers specifically place special emphasis on the fact that this tractor is not intended for European favorable roads and conditions, but for countries with any difficult conditions. This is obvious from the fact that this model is produced without exhaust treatment systems using the Ad Blue urea reagent, which is critical to the quality of diesel fuel.

The fifth wheel of the tractor of this model can be adjusted in two positions. The electronically controlled braking system (EBS) installed on production vehicles of the MAN TGS family ensures consistently high operating reliability. An optional anti-skid stabilization system (ESP) is also installed, which prevents possible skidding, and thereby protects the driver and the cargo being transported. The electronically controlled ECAS air suspension ensures a uniform level of movement, regardless of the degree of load.

The bumper and body of MAN tractor units in the TGS category are themselves streamlined. There are also air intakes in the bumper part, which significantly increases the total area of the space. The truck looks like an aggressive car, which is based, among other things, on the presence of a black fiberglass panel in the body.

Suspension and chassis

Front suspension - parabolic springs; rear suspension – pneumatic. The stabilizer is present on the front axle of the truck, and there are also stabilizers on both rear axles. An important new feature of the MAN TGS 33.440 6×4 BBS model. WW, like all modern MAN trucks, have hypoid axles. In addition to the smooth running and quiet operation of the vehicle, the use of this type of axle helps reduce fuel consumption. This truck tractor also has a hydraulic drive, which improves traction and maneuverability both on and off the road.

Suspension can be of several types, because the car is used in quite different conditions. For construction work, a two-axle trolley design with fully air suspension is used. In other cases, a leaf spring type with parabolic springs is possible. The air suspension is fully electronically controlled, which allows you to install additional equipment on the frame with high precision.

Cabins of MAN trucks and their use on TGS vehicles

In total, MAN trucks can be equipped with six standard cab sizes. Namely: C, M, L, LX, XLX and XXL. Specifically, the MAN TGS family of vehicles uses three types of cabs:

type M – compact intra-city cabin without a sleeping place;
type L – extended city cab with a compact berth;
type LX – main cabin, with a high ceiling and a spacious sleeping area.

Even the simplest M cabin in terms of equipment and available space can provide the driver with working conditions that meet modern concepts of comfort.
The cabin is equipped with a heater and a mechanical lifting hatch. The steering column is equipped with height adjustments. There is an additional mirror for a better view of the front of the truck; modern lighting and electrical equipment. However, other standard cabin sizes for this series are also available, but the demand for them is much less. If the length of the cabin of this model is identical to the cabins of the “heavyweight flagships” TGX, then the width is 20 cm narrower. The radiator grille is additionally protected by a mesh from the ingress of gravel and insects. There are three steps leading into the cabin, and there are comfortable handrails.

The driver's seat and the cabin itself are equipped with air suspension, while the passenger seat has a rigid fixation. The cabin interior can be described as simple and elegant, yet satisfying the basic working conditions. The interior decoration contains not only plastic and fabrics, but also metal decorative elements. There are many functional buttons and adjustments on the steering wheel, dashboard and window sides. There are also convenient stands for a coffee cup and telephone; drawers for all kinds of personal items.

The dimensions of the MAN TGS are compact, so the size of the berth in the L-type cab cannot be called too luxurious: 2050 x 750 mm. Under the shelf there is a special spacious drawer for working tools. This is a good solution - access to this box is guaranteed from outside the cabin. The cabin insulates very well from noise and vibration and has excellent aerodynamic parameters, which means it saves fuel.

Cabin structure

The cabins in the MAN tgs truck are compact in size, however, their equipment is such that it is able to provide the driver with high levels of comfort. There is a built-in, very comfortable bed, access to which is quite open. If you purchase more modified models, you will be able to stand upright in their cabins. This is an ideal opportunity to move comfortably in a car, covering quite significant distances.

The driver's seat is equipped with special adjustment devices, thanks to which it can be adjusted in height, given a slight tilt, and the seat shock absorbers can be adjusted. Among the non-standard functions of MAN tgs the following can be noted:

Possibility of heated seat;
Pneumatic lumbar support;
Function of adjusting the shoulder area and seat contour;
Possibility of adjusting the chair's depth.

The cabin and seats are equipped with high-quality climate control. Thanks to this, a preset temperature can be brought to the driver's seat. The passenger seat is no less comfortable, although it may seem less functional.

Important! Climate control in the MAN tgs cabin is possible using options such as water, autonomous, and modern gas heaters. It is even possible to warm up the cabin with the engine completely turned off.

Operation of MAN TGS 33.440 6x4 BBS. WW: owner reviews

Many of those who have been involved in cargo transportation in Russia for many years choose MAN vehicles, speaking of them as the optimal business tool for business in terms of combination of quality, price and cost of vehicle ownership. The majority of heavy-duty vehicles in the fleet of the largest Russian retailer are MAN TGS (only with a 4x2 wheel arrangement, not 6x4). Since the TGS series is still relatively young (produced since 2007), many people involved in cargo transportation have switched to MAN TGS from MAN TGA vehicles. According to them, this car is “similar to the previous model, only newer in all respects and the past problems have been corrected.” The impressions are good, although the leaf front suspension is generally stiff, but it is quiet and responsive. L-cabins, due to their size, do not shake like large cabs. It sometimes wobbles, so additional cushioning won't hurt.

The salon is very well equipped for comfortable work. It's cozy and warm. There is a lot of functionality - buttons on the steering wheel, on the doors - everything is at hand, good rubberized drawers are provided on top for things. The electronics are very reliable and not at all capricious. The engines are said to be quite sensitive to the quality of diesel fuel, as a result of which, when using questionable fuel, the injectors fly and the filters become clogged. The fuel system is quite fragile. Otherwise, the car is excellently suited to work on any, even the worst roads, and can withstand any careless driving. There are good service centers in almost all regions of Russia - there are no problems with repairs. In general, professionals like the machine; it is designed and made in German: exceptionally well and of high quality.
