MAN claims that tractor/trailer coupling latitude on its new F90 twin-steer is much wider than is offered by most manufacturers.
The new model is only available with an outer axle spread of 3.85m and has an increased bogie weight limit of 16.5 tonnes allowing the second axle to be plated at 6.1 tonnes.
The front axle, plated at 7.1 tonnes, is the highest-rated standard axle on any twin-steer in the UK.
The F90 22.326, which is equipped with an Eaton Twin Splitter gearbox and a power output of 269kW, will become available from early next year with the wide 2.94m sleeper cab. Lower-powered options will also be available along with 2F transmissions.
A 10% increase in power and over 25% increase in torque from the 4.6-litre four cylinder and 6.9-litre six cylinder engines used to power the 6-to-10-tonne G90 series of trucks makes them more flexible and quieter.
