MAN has now built a prototype vehicle, with sensors on the roof and sides of the cab. The vehicle has already successfully covered its first kilometres at MAN's Munich test site and was due to undergo real road testing before the end of 2023.

The international jury said they chose the FH Electric for its “performance, seamless acceleration, quietness, and vibration-free behaviour.”

The ‘eTGX’ and ‘eTGS’ are a continuation of the longstanding TG-range of trucks, with electric drivelines that will reportedly deliver up to 800 kilometres of range.

The German manufacturer showcased a new 'digital cockpit', which will become the standard for MAN and Neoplan coaches produced from next year, and premiered the ‘Lion’s City 12 E LE’.

The new vans, dubbed ‘TGE Next Level’, will enter production in May 2024.

The 12-metre bus, dubbed ‘Lion’s Explorer E’, was supplied to Golden Arrow Bus Services for pilot testing in Cape Town, South Africa.

Under the expanded deal, MAN will use protective gases during the precision welding process, and then apply multiple coats: first, cataphoretic paint for corrosion protection, then varnish, and then a final coat of paint.

The “Autonomous Innovation in Terminal Operations” (ANITA1) lasted three years, culminating in a six-month test in which a self-driving truck was put to work at a container terminal in Ulm, Baden-Württemberg.

Series production of the Lion’s City E range began at Starachowice, Poland in October 2020.

The seat comes in three different ranges: Luxury, Comfort or Standard and comes with an optional installation kit.

The German manufacturer took part in a study which purportedly shows that its upcoming battery electric truck is quieter by up to 14.4 dBA1 than its conventional diesel equivalent (in this case, a TGX 18.510).

Traton has signed a framework agreement with its parent company, Volkswagen, which outlines the terms for selling and transferring the rights to provide financial services for MAN and Volkswagen Truck & Bus to Traton Financial Services.
