German truck maker MAN has made its new eTruck available for driving impressions at its factory test track in Munich, writes Gordon Roberts.
THE CENTREPIECE of truck manufacturer MAN’s stand at the IAA Transportation Show in Hannover, has benefitted from two years where a fleet of 50 eTGM rigids in real-world service with hauliers throughout Europe clocked up two million kilometres.
Transport News headed to Munich and MAN’s factory test track for driving impressions and discovered that much of the technology for the trucks comes from the groundwork done with buses, where there is more than 1,000 already in service.
Apart from some different badges and a few warning decals, there’s little to show what is hiding behind the normal looking side-protection panels of the eTGM.
