MAN engines are some of the best around. The legacy V12 and V10 units are incredibly reliable, and newer models like the D0834 LOH (4.6L) and D2066 LOH/LUH (10.5L) comply with Euro 6c/d and EEV emissions standards.
Diesel engines range from 110 kW to 471 kW and comply with Euro 6c/d, EEV, Euro 5, Euro 4, and Euro 3. They are found in buses and special-purpose vehicles, such as street sweepers and airport vehicles.
MAN also produces engines for yachts, professional navigation, and cogeneration in marine and power generation systems. Diesel and petrol are the primary power sources, with hybrid systems for marine vehicles.
MAN truck range
The TGL offers compact urban delivery solutions with 150-250 hp engines, while the TGM handles distribution duties with 250-320 hp power units. MAN’s TGX, through its D38 engine, delivers up to 640 hp for heavy haulage.
The TGS series bridges the gap between distribution and construction with robust powertrains from 330 to 510 hp. Each model has MAN’s efficient driveline technology and smart assistance systems for optimal fuel economy.
