MAN Truck and Bus has launched a completely new truck generation for the first time in 20 years. At a VIP launch in Bilbao, the highly anticipated New MAN TGX was revealed to the world. Designed to meet the changing demands of the transport industry, it set to offer a host of ‘Best in class features’.
The new truck generation follows in the footsteps of legendary MAN TGA series. Not only does the new MAN truck generation follow suit, it also brings a new level of comfort, safety, efficiency, reliability, service as well as connectivity and digitalisation.
Speaking about the new product launch, Joachim Drees, Chairman of the Executive Board at MAN Truck & Bus SE commented “We make our customers’ business easier, more efficient and there-by more successful.
