MAN long-distance electric eTGX to make UK debut at Road Transport Expo

MAN Truck & Bus UK is heading to Road Transport Expo next month to showcase its latest commercial vehicles, including the UK debut of its long-distance eTruck.

The manufacturer’s stand, Y2, will display a wide range of vehicles from the 3.5-tonne TGE through to its range-topping TGX 41.640 8x4/4 Heavy Haulage prime mover.

MAN will also be unveiling its new heavy-duty electric truck to visitors, the eTGX, with a daily range of up to 800km.

Stefan Thyssen, managing director, MAN Truck & Bus UK, said: “The RTX show is a key event in our calendar and as a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, it’s an event that enables us to both showcase and demonstrate our products and, importantly, meet with customers.

“This year's show is going to be extra special as we will show several firsts in the UK.

"As a full range commercial vehicle supplier, with vehicles from 3.5 to 250 tonnes, we will demonstrate vehicles from across our entire model range, from the TGE Van at 3.5 tonnes, both current and the New MAN TGE Next Level  models, through to trucks from our TGL, TGM, TGS and TGX ranges right through to our flagship TGX heavy haulage tractor plated at 250 tonnes.”

He added: “We will also showcase, for the first time here in the UK, our long-distance, heavy duty electric truck, the New MAN eTGX. With daily ranges of up to 800km, this is the first heavy duty electric truck in the company's history, marking another milestone in the decarbonisation of freight transport.

“Our UK eMobility consulting team will be on hand to talk with and guide customers helping them to prepare for this new era.”

MAN will also be taking part in the RTX Ride and Drive experience for anyone wanting to get behind the wheel of a highly specified TGX tractor unit with flagship GX high roof sleepers (subject to appropriate licence checks).

Road Transport Expo takes place from 4-6 June at NAEC Stoneleigh in Warwickshire. It is completely free to attend for visitors, so why not book your place today?!
