Penske NZ’s introduction of the new TGL, TGM, TGS, and TGX truck ranges to NZ are the first MAN trucks designed from the ground up in 20 years

The company says more than 167,000 hours have been invested by MAN Truck & Bus in the design of the all-new truck generation (TG).

Awaiting drivers inside the cab is a modern and streamlined experience, including the intuitive dash layout, multi-function steering wheel, advanced infotainment system, and SmartSelect navigator.

A spacious rest and sleep area is fully furnished with plentiful storage, a fridge, and air conditioning, while MAN’s fingertip driver assistance features include adaptive cruise control, steering wheel airbag, cabin safety cell, emergency brake assist, and lane departure warning.

The new MAN’s Euro 6 engines range from the 220hp D08 engine powering the TGL to the 640hp D38 engine powering the TGX. Utilising software to determine the optimum moving off and gearshift strategy, the Tipmatic gearbox has load and inclination detection, ‘SmartShifting’, and ‘idle speed driving’ functionalities.

Extended oil drain intervals and low tare weights yielding higher payload availability help increase productivity and profits for customers. Each vehicle is further backed by Penske New Zealand’s national MAN dealer footprint and MAN’s 24/365 support programme, customised repair and maintenance packages, and generous warranties.

"We’re offering eight different cabin configurations from the crew cab that seats up to seven to the super spacious GX cab, and the D08, D15, D26, and D38 engines are all Euro 6, delivering power that’s reliable and highly efficient," says Brent Warner, general manager of Penske New Zealand.

"Close attention has been paid to ensuring the specifications are ideally suited to our New Zealand conditions, including tyre and diff ratio selections to optimise performance and economy for our unique terrain. "We’re excited to be offering for the first time a down-line factory 8x4 model specifically for New Zealand, too."
