FREIGHT AND LOGISTICS
HEAVY DUTY
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 2000 parts per million). MAN offers engines with
outputs of 265kW, 294kW, 324kW as well as 353kW and for certain applications, 397kW.
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. Whenever a rugged chassis that meets the requirements of the Euro V or Euro VI
emission standards is needed, the MAN TGS series usually 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 tons gross train weight. The driveline comprises a Euro-
IV-compliant 397kW 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 oversized cargo.
Rugged and reliable
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 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 tons, 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 tons. 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 162 to 206kW. 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.
