Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

auto, ZF 9spd man (opt) Chassis: 4x2 GVW: 15t, 18t Wheelbase:3,525-5,475mm

The middleweight TGM is an established part of MAN's UK range at 15 or 18 tonnes GVW. Three ratings of the 008 engine combine with eight wheelbases1 three cabs and 19.5 and 22.5in wheels to give operators an extensive range to pick from.

MAN has taken the bold move to spec the 12-speed T1pMatic automated box as standard but there's a manual option if you want. The self-changing method would seem to be the way to go for urban operations.

We have yet to carry out a full roadtest, but an initial drive has

left us with positive expectations. The 008 engine is very willing and able to run tall gearing that should have a beneficial effect on economy. The driving experience proved remarkably similar to the bigger TGA, indicating that corners haven't been cut in the downsizing Build quality, handling and visibility were the high points during our drive.
