MAN TGM

Engines: 6.9-litre 6cyl, 236hp/925Nm, 276hp/1,100Nm, 322hp/1,250Nm Transmissions: 7F 12spd automatic; ZF 9spd manual (optional) Chassis: 42, 6x2 GVWs: 13.01, 15.008.0t, 26.01 Wheelbases: 3,525-5,475mm
The TGM, covering the 18 and 26-tonne sectors, marks the final stage in MAN's rejuvenation programme that began with the TGA. Three ratings of the D08 engine combine with eight wheelbases, three cabs and 19.5in and 22.5in wheels to give an extensive range.
MAN has taken the bold move of speeding the 12-speed TipMatic automated 'box as standard, but there's a manual option if you must. The selfchanging method is the way to go for urban operations.
We've still to carry out a full road test, but a good drive has left us with positive expectations. The D08 engine is very willing and able to run tall gearing that should have a beneficial effect on economy.
The driving experience proved remarkably similar to the bigger TGA, indicating that corners haven't been cut in the downsizing.
Build quality, handling and visibility were the highpoints in that drive.
