The Magirus transmission gives more power where it matters-at the wheels.

its a matter of fact.
Fact : A radical advanced principle called 'Systematic Torque Build up is the transmission system chosen by Magirus. The most torque in the system is produced at the logical place: in the actual wheel hubs.
It's one of the most advanced transmission systems around, and means that all the engine power is used to the full with maximum flexibility and elasticity.
It also means that all other drive elements (half shafts etc.) can be lighter without losing strength and reliability. It gives you that bit extra on the payload.
The air cooled Magirus Deutz engine, with its excellent power to weight ratio puts the power through a constant mesh gearbox, along a dynamically balanced prop shaft to a bevel gear differential, and so to the planetary arrangement at the driving wheels, The chassis, brakes, and suspension are designed as a balanced combination for roadholding, speed, stopping power and load protection on all road conditions. Every Magirus truck has powerful twin circuit air brakes, a spring energy parking brake and engine exhaust brake for fast, smooth deceleration. For added control and safety tractor models incorporate load-sensing valves.
Fully integral power steering is standard on the bigger models, optional on the 32 ton tractive unit.
Test drive a Magirus Deutz truck from any of the distributors listed below.
Hear how much quieter the air cooled Magirus is than most other trucks. Examine the accessibility for service and maintenance, and note the modular construction of the engine. which allows individual cylinder liners or pistons to be replaced with the engine in situ. An obvious saving in expensive downtime should the need ever arise.
Air-cooled Magirus gives great reliability. 40% of all breakdowns are caused by failures in the water cooling systems. And what the Magirus doesn't have can't break down.
Warm up from start to full load takes half the time, greatly reducing the formation of corrosives in the cylinder bores.
And the cab probably has more creature comforts and better planned controls than the car you drive. Naturally, there's a sleeper cab version of the 38 ton tractor.
