The first part of the long overdue renaissance of MAN's light and middleweight ranges was the TGL, focusing on the 7.5-tonne model. Now the final bit of the [mule falls in place with the revelation at the RAI show of the TGM, covering the 18 and 26-tonne sectors. Three ratings of the D08 engine and manual or TipMatic auto transmissions combine with eight wheelbases, three cabs and 19.5 and 22.5in wheels to give an extensive range.
So far, we've had only the briefest of drives in a pre-production 18-tonne example with 240hp and Eaton nine-speeder, but early indications are positive. Build quality, handling and visibility were the highpoints in that drive.
