MAN reveals Euro-5 engine plans

MAN HAS RELEASED details of its Euro-5 engine range, with an acknowledgement that exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) isn't the sole solution to the forthcoming emission regulations on all its heavy truck power ratings.

However, it insists that EGR "will be the dominant technology" for the new regulations, which come into effect in October_ EGR is retained on all Euro-5 and EEV DOS fourand six-cylinder engines fitted in its TGL and TOM middleweight chassis.

The D08 will be offered from 150340hp, with fuelling by common-rail. MAN says the price increase from a Euro-4 DOS four-pot to a Euro-5 version will be £1,275, while the DOS six-pot Euro-5 price premium will be £2,261.

Higher up the weight range, MAN's torquey D20 10.5-litre engine (used in the TGS) continues with EGR at 360hp and 400hp, while the larger 13-litre D26 in-line six (fitted in the TGX) is offered at 440hp with EGR, but with selective catalytic reduction (SCR)/AdBlue at 480hp, and at a new 540hp rating.

The top-of-the-range 680hp 16-litre V8 continues as before, with SCR for Euro-5. The price premium for a Euro-5 D201D26 engine will be £4,633.

The advent of Euro-5 means that the previously most powerful 440hp D20 EGR engine, bought for its impressive fuel economy and lightness, has been discontinued. (The most powerful 10-litre engine is now at 400hp.) The latest 5404 D26 rating, with 2,500Nm of torque, will he offered in a new TUX 26.540 6x2 tractor with the largest XXL cab and standard Tipmatic auto box.

MAN says the 26.540 is aimed at long-haul operators who want high horsepower, but who are reluctant to go for a V8.

MAN has also developed two additional rear-steer 6x2 and 8x2 models for bulk/tanker work (see CM 12 March for a 'First Drive' of the MAN 32.400 8x2 BL).
