The TGL launched to a fanfare at the CV Show last year and has now been crowned International Truck of the Year 2006.
The TGL features a new cab, chassis, engine and transmission, yet despite the best efforts of the MAN engineering team it's still not the lightest in the sector. A reputation for robust design should, however, ensure the vehicle is a tough performer in operation.
Improvements to its four-cylinder engine give the TGL big-truck driving characteristics and the performance of the engine alone means it is worth a look. If its as good on fuel as the TGAS MAN 020 heavy duty engine the fuel consumption should not be a concern. Right-hand drive versions are a bit noisy due lathe hole for the gearstick being right beside the exhaust manifold. though the noise is deadened when the auto box is fitted. We expect MAN to make a push with this during 2006. Its on-road handling is very good and despite the big cab feel lathe TGL it is very easy to position on the road and extremely manoeuvrable around town.
