HAVING JUST READ your article on heavy haulage tractors in Germany (CM 12 August), I feel most readers appreciate accuracy trici I would like to draw your attention to the section praising the abilities of the 16.2-litre, V8 Man TGX 41.680 (below).
It is indeed an outstanding machine. but MAN does not make 'ye& engines for truck applications (solely due to low volumes of vehicles in this range).
These engines are bought from its German neighbour, Liebherr, known for its range of construction machines such as concrete plants. truck mixers to cranes. etc.
Trevor Probert Cinderford Gloucestershire Editor's note: While Mr Probert is strictly correct, MAN markets trucks with the big Liebherr V8 under its own name, like any other bought-in component.
