MAN TopUsed: MAN eTGE as the first series-produced electric vehicle and latest MAN Truck generation expand range

Summary

·       "eTGE on subscription" campaign makes used electric vans particularly interesting for customers

·       TopUsed eTGE with all-round carefree package: leasing instalments plus Comfort service contract on request

·       Flexible term of 18, 24 or 30 months for electric van: MAN pays the last third of the leasing instalments

·       Driver-orientated, efficient and quality-proven: Latest MAN truck generation now also available from MAN TopUsed

·       MAN TopUsed performance promise: Checked, Certified, Trusted

As the first series-produced electric vehicle from the Munich-based commercial vehicle manufacturer, the MAN eTGE electric van has arrived in the MAN TopUsed sales organisation. However, the marketing of used electric commercial vehicles is uncharted territory for everyone involved: neither the customer nor the manufacturer can draw on many years of experience. To allay any reservations customers may have about a used electric vehicle, MAN TopUsed has put together a special offer to make it easier for customers to get started. The offer includes leasing the used electric van from MAN. There is also the option of purchasing.

"MAN gives a warranty of 8 years or 160,000 km on the battery of the eTGE. So when the vehicles come to us at MAN TopUsed, they are still within this warranty period. Nevertheless, the SoH, or State of Health, of the battery is comprehensively checked when the vehicle is received. What we have found so far is that the SoH is better than expected. The ageing behaviour of the batteries is therefore milder than originally assumed," summarises Erik Kraus-Boere, Head of Sales Used Bus & Van.

In addition to the drive technology, which is designed for urban applications, the MAN eTGE also impresses with its full standard equipment. This includes all the assistance systems available ex works, electronic air conditioning, sprung driver's seat, heated windscreen, MAN navigation with 8-inch display, cruise control, reversing camera and full LED headlights.

In addition to the performance promise with the "Checked, Certified, Trusted" seal of approval, MAN TopUsed provides further arguments in favour of purchasing a used MAN eTGE. The "eTGE on subscription" campaign is very convincing: MAN covers a third of the leasing costs. For example, the customer leases the eTGE for 24 months - but only pays for 16 months. This significantly reduces the financial risk for the customer. And it also opens up scope for a favourable purchase of the vehicle at the end of the leasing period. This allows the customer to get to know their vehicle and, if it fits into the company's processes, it can be taken over at a favourable price. There is a choice of three leasing periods for the eTGE: 18, 24 or 30 months.

If you want to plan completely risk-free, you can book the MAN Comfort service contract on request. All services and inspections listed in the vehicle's maintenance schedule are then already included. This means maximum planning security and high vehicle availability.

Latest MAN TopUsed Truck Generation: Particularly driver-friendly, efficient, reliable and safe to use, even in its second use

Around three years after its market launch, the latest MAN truck generation is also expanding the MAN TopUsed portfolio with proven quality. With its innovative operating and display concept, it clearly places the driver at the centre and sets standards in terms of intuitive user-friendliness, optimum ergonomics, networking with digital devices and applications and, last but not least, with an optimum amount of space, storage space concept and ideal sleeping comfort. Modern assistance systems, such as the newly developed cornering aid, the traffic jam assistant and the lane change assistant, take the strain off the driver and ensure greater safety on the road.

In addition, the latest MAN TopUsed Truck generation is particularly efficient and fuel-saving on the road thanks to numerous fuel-saving driveline and software components. And all this with a recognised high level of reliability, because MAN has done everything in its latest truck generation to make the tried and tested even better. The maintenance-friendly, simplified, powerful and future-proof electronics architecture, which significantly improves the functionalities of the truck and expands it for the use of extensive digital services, also contributes to this. In addition, a comprehensively developed, digitalised maintenance management system with long maintenance intervals reduces operating costs and ensures maximum operational availability.

Together with customised service contracts, the MAN TopUsed guarantee, comprehensive financing, leasing and insurance solutions and the MAN TopUsed seal of approval for comprehensively tested vehicle quality, the latest MAN Truck Generation, especially as a TopUsed vehicle, fulfils MAN's claim to simplify the daily work of drivers, dispatchers and fleet operators in the long term.

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/ ).
