MAN TGE: The right choice when it matters
· MAN TGE highly sought-after internationally as an ambulance and rescue vehicle
· Active orders for around 1,800 ambulance vehicles in twelve countries, of which more than 700 MAN TGE units have already been delivered
The MAN TGE has established itself as a reliable and versatile platform for the ambulance sector. MAN Truck & Bus currently has orders for a total of around 1,800 units across Europe, more than 700 units are already on the road. The orders range from Romania to Ireland and from Poland to Spain. With a combination of robust, modern technology, extensive equipment options and close cooperation with specialised body manufacturers, it has won over rescue and care services internationally. Thanks in particular to cooperation with local body manufacturers, the MAN TGE base vehicles can be tailor-made to the requirements of ambulance use.
This is particularly evident in the successful partnership with Falck, one of Europe's largest emergency service providers, which uses the MAN TGE in several countries, including Denmark, Germany, Poland, Sweden and Spain. The MAN Truck & Bus van has also established itself in Romania: The MAN distributor MHS Truck & Bus in consortium with the bodybuilder Deltamed, which serves as the bodywork partner and general contractor, won a project launched by the Romanian General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations for 480 ambulances over a four-year period. Since the contract began in November 2024, the first five vehicles have already been delivered, with a further 121 to follow by the end of 2025.
In the Netherlands, too, the MAN TGE has long been an integral part of the emergency services. It is used successfully by Ambulancezorg Zoetermeer (RAV Haaglanden), the UMCG ambulance service, Brabant Midden and the Dutch Red Cross, among others. The fleet in the Netherlands currently comprises around 60 vehicles. In France, too, almost 300 MAN vehicles are already in rescue service. The two largest customers are Gruau Vendée and Les Dauphins. Gruau Vendée uses white ambulances as well as fire engines based on the MAN TGE. In the United Kingdom, the National Health Service (NHS) relies on the TGE. The framework agreement covers a volume of 275 units.
Its high degree of customisability is what makes the MAN TGE so special. It ensures that each ambulance can be tailored precisely to the needs of patients and rescue workers. For example, ventilators, defibrillators, wheeled stretchers with bases, infusion stands, oxygen cylinder installations, vacuum mattresses, cardiac chairs and orthopaedic stretchers can be easily integrated. In addition, the vehicle offers passenger car-level driving comfort. This is one of the reasons why Italian ambulance manufacturer Olmedo also relies on the MAN TGE. Around 70 vehicles have already been produced with an innovative negative pressure system that reduces the risk of contamination and ensures a safe working environment.
The advantages of the MAN TGE for emergency vehicles include the digital driver's workplace with excellent operating comfort, the well-designed storage system and the MAN Media Van infotainment system. A wide range of standard and optional assistance systems increase active safety while driving and make everyday work easier for the driver. The ‘Comfort Plus’ driver's seat can also be ordered for fatigue-free driving. The adjustable air suspension allows for variable load compartment floor heights, making it easy to get in and out of the vehicle. Front, rear or all-wheel drive (4x4) ensure propulsion in all weather conditions. Finally, the central vehicle control unit connects the body components and vehicle technology and immediately provides functions relevant to the application.

The air-conditioning systems in our vehicles contain fluorinated greenhouse gases (R134a / GWP 1,430 with up to 1.15 kg equivalent to 1.6445 t CO2). In MAN TGE vehicle classes N1, M1, N2 and M2, refrigerant of the type R1234yf is used. The GWP value of the refrigerant used is 4 (refrigerant type R1234yf). In case of one refrigerant compressor, filling quantities vary between 540 and 570 grams. In case of two refrigerant compressors they vary between 785 and 815 grams.
With the MAN eTGE, refrigerant R134a is used. The GWP value of the refrigerant used is 1.430 (refrigerant type R134a). The fill levels depend on the refrigerant compressor and vary between 560 and 590 grams.

Additional information to MAN TGE
Our MAN TGE vehicles are equipped with summer tyres as standard. Please check the national regulations regarding any mandatory winter tyres. Your MAN partner will be happy to advise you.
The specified fuel consumption and emission data has been determined according to the measurement procedures specified by law. As from 1st September 2017, some new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Since 1st September 2018, WLTP has also replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) for light commercial vehicles. In cases where the fuel consumption and emission values are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are solely used for comparison purposes between the different vehicle types.
Additional equipment and accessories (add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. In conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and driving style, they may also affect fuel and power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.
Efficiency classes rate vehicles for passenger transport with an M1 passenger vehicle registration according to the CO2 emissions under consideration of the vehicle dead weight. Vehicles which conform to the average are classified as D. Vehicles which are above the current average are classified as A+, A, B or C. Vehicles which are below average are classified as E, F or G.
Additional information regarding the official fuel consumption and the official specific CO2 emissions of new vehicles for passenger transport with an M1 passenger vehicle registration can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions, and power consumptions of all new passenger car models”. This guideline is available free of charge at all sales points and from the DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany ( https://www.datgroup.com/ ).
