MAN LAUNCH THE TGE NEXT LEVEL

A MAN LAUNCH THE TGE NEXT LEVEL, RAISING THE LEVEL OF COMFORT AND SAFETY TO A NEW LEVEL

The MAN TGE will receive an extensive functional and interior update with the 2025 model year. The “truck among vans” is thus making the biggest technological leap in its history. The van from MAN Truck & Bus is getting a completely new on-board network architecture.

A new generation of control units fulfils the higher cyber security requirements on the one hand and significantly increases active and passive safety for drivers and other road users with the help of new driver assistance systems on the other.

The MAN TGE is thus better protected against digital manipulation and unauthorised changes to the vehicle software and is also ideally equipped for future digital online services. Another advantage is the ability for over-the-air updates. This eliminates the need for workshop visits for software updates and continuously improves software stability.

The combination of new control units and new radar sensors and cameras has also made it possible to significantly enhance the safety and driver assistance systems. For example, Blind Spot Warning and Drive Off Warning are completely new. These are now standard for all TGEs over 3,5 tonnes with N2 approval and optional for vehicles with N1 approval.

The optional assistance systems, Cruise Assist, Cruise Assist Plus and Turn Assist, are also new developments. In addition, almost all systems have been revised and their functions expanded. The extended list of assistance systems fitted as standard is also noteworthy.

Every TGE Next Level comes with Fatigue Detection, Traffic Sign Information, Intelligent Speed Assist, Emergency Brake Assist1, Parking Assist, Active Lane Guard System, Cruise Control and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System. This raises the active safety of MAN vans to a new level.

Also new in the standard equipment of TGE with N1 approval are the passenger airbag and an accident recording system. The latter records and stores critical, collision-related parameters and information shortly before, during and immediately after a collision. In this way, important data is available for accident investigations and analyses of the performance of safety equipment. The front passenger airbag is still available as an option for vehicles with N2 approval.

The TGE Next Level also comes with many new comfort features: a new dashboard with digital instrumentation and a large MAN Media Van touch display for controlling the vehicle functions and the infotainment system.

The extensively revised vehicle electrics and electronics in combination with the new driver’s workplace and the new and updated assistance systems raise the TGE to a new level, which is why it was given the nickname “Next Level”. Production of the first model variants will begin in June 2024, with more to follow over the course of the year.

Under the bonnet, the TGE is new and future-proof with the 2025 model year. However, its striking, dynamic exterior remains virtually unchanged. MAN Truck & Bus has therefore created a subtle eye-catcher with the TGE Next Level Edition, which sets visual accents.

The edition is already available to order. It consists of the launch colour Pale Copper Metallic, mirror covers in Piano Black, a boomerang trim at the bumper in silver, a “Next” badge in the front grille and 17″ alloy wheels in silver or optionally in black.

In terms of drive, there is a small change in the portfolio. The 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine and the choice between manual and 8-speed automatic transmission remain the same. The previous entry-level engine of 75 kW (102 PS) will no longer be offered due to restrained customer demand. 3 power levels are now available as standard: 103 kW (140 PS), 120 kW (163 PS) and 130 kW (177 PS).

The high service quality for the TGE remains unchanged, with commercial vehicle-specific expertise, 24-hour breakdown service and long opening hours at many branches. The MAN ServiceCare digital service is also available with the TGE Next Level for smooth communication between the vehicle operator and the workshop. MAN ServiceCare is a digital maintenance and repair management system for the vehicle operator.

The ultra-modern cockpit

The dashboard in the TGE has been completely redesigned and now features a free-standing touch display in the centre. The ergonomic steering wheel, which can be used to directly select the new assistance systems, has also been redesigned. The new instrument cluster is fully digitalised as standard and offers the driver extensive options for customising displays and information.

However, the most striking highlight of the new cockpit is the new MAN Media Van infotainment system, which is the modern control centre for controlling infotainment and vehicle functions.

Hay disponibles 3 variantes del sistema de infoentretenimiento: MAN Media Van con pantalla de 10,4″ de serie, MAN Media Van Navigation con pantalla de 10,4″ (además de funciones opcionales) y MAN Media Van Navigation Business con pantalla de 12,9″ (además de funciones opcionales).

3 variants of the infotainment system are available: The standard MAN Media Van with 10,4″ screen, MAN Media Van Navigation with 10,4″ screen (plus optional functions) and MAN Media Van Navigation Business with 12,9″ screen (plus optional functions).

The optional functions include, for example, media streaming via the Tidal streaming service and voice control. An inductive charging cradle for wireless charging of smart devices can also be ordered on request. For better communication with the rear row of seats, the front microphone and rear speakers can be selected. This optional function is called In-Car Communication.

DAB tuner, Bluetooth interface and MAN SmartLink for smartphone integration (Android Auto or Apple CarPlay) are installed as standard in the MAN Media Van. The latter allows selected apps to be displayed on the MAN Media Van screen and operated either directly via the touchscreen or via the TGE’s controls.
