And, for the first time on British soil show attendees are in for a treat as MAN unveils two new ground-breaking MAN models, the all-electric eTGS rigid in both 4x2 (20 tonne GVW) and 6x2 (28 tonne GVW) configurations.
Supported by an array of bespoke customer-tailored and integrated business-focused aftersales products, MAN Trucks and Vans set benchmarks for the highest levels of efficiency, reliability, cost-effectiveness and sustainability.
Stefan Thyssen, Managing Director, MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd, said: “The RTX Show is a key event in our calendar and as a leading Commercial Vehicle manufacturer, it’s an event that enables us to both showcase and demonstrate our products and importantly, meet with customers and industry friends.
“As a full range commercial vehicle supplier, with vehicles from 3.5 to 250 tonnes, we will demonstrate vehicles from across our model range, from the TGE Van, through to our much acclaimed TGX Flagship.”
“Twelve months ago, under the banner of Simplifying customers' businesses through leading sustainable solutions, we used RTX to premiere our all-electric tractor, the eTGX, and for 2025, we will mark another milestone in the decarbonisation of freight transport by showcasing two new all-electric MAN eTGS rigids, the eTGS 20.449 and the eTGS 28.449. With the new eTGS, ranges of 750 kilometres are possible, all without the need for intermediate charging.” Added Stefan.
“Furthermore, and for those with curious minds, our expert team, including our UK eMobility consultants, will be on hand to talk with and guide customers, helping them to prepare for this new sustainable era.”
“When the gates open on Tuesday morning, the 24th of June, we will be ready to welcome customers and friends with a nice barista made coffee.”
Stefan concluded, “If you’re visiting the show please call in and say hello, the MAN Truck & Bus UK team looks forward to seeing you.”
