When MAN launched its New Truck Generation in Bilbao last February, it was clear that beneath the razzmatazz, some serious technological upgrades had been made. Up to 8% improvement in fuel consumption was the headline, achieved mainly thanks to combining the Euro VI-D engines released in 2019 with a taller drive axle ratio and GPS-guided EfficientCruise. With that came a completely redesigned interior, guided and tested by drivers, with everything from the position of the steps to more sensibly laid out bunk controls speaking volumes for their input. Then, under the skin, was perhaps the biggest step forward of all: a total rebuild of the CAN-Bus wiring architecture, lighter and simpler than ever before, and future-proofed so further technological advances will effectively be plug and play. |
