MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd - RTX Scotland update with Malcolm Logistics.
MAN Truck & Bus UK is delighted to announce the addition of another standout customer vehicle at the RTX Show, SEC Glasgow, Scotland, on 18th and 19th November.
Stand C30, directly opposite MAN Truck & Bus UK Ltd's stand, B30 in Hall 3, will now showcase a new Malcolm Logistics (The Malcolm Group) eTGX 20.544 BL SA EB 4x2 tractor.
Instantly recognisable in Malcolm Logistics' standout livery, this is the second battery-powered eTGX tractor to join the Malcolm Logistics fleet.
Driven by a permanently excited synchronous motor that delivers 400 kW (544 PS) of power and 1,250 Nm of torque, this vehicle's charging capacity is set at 375 kW DC. For ease of use, it features CCS charging connection points on both the left and right front sides.
Housed on the chassis are 6 x 80 kWh (480 kWh) batteries that power a central drive unit and a 4 Speed MAN TipMatic® automated transmission, which in turn drives the rear axle. To increase the driven axles' payload and ensure parts and service commonality, the MAN eTruck uses the same rear axle as the equivalent diesel (ICE) models.
This vehicle’s 4x2 wheelbase measures 3,750 mm, and it boasts a 9000 kg front axle and an 11,500 kg rear axle. In line with UK regulations, its GCW (Gross Combination Weight) is set at 42,000 kg. The front suspension is leaf spring, and the rear suspension is air.
Andrew Malcolm, Managing Director of The Malcolm Group, commented: “We were thrilled to be asked if we would like to showcase one of our new MAN eTGXs at the RTX Scotland show. As the second battery-powered eTGX to join the logistics fleet, we’ve already seen what it can do. It is, without a doubt, an impressive piece of kit.”
“Delivered in May the first vehicle is not only impressing us with its range, ease of use and driver acceptance, but it’s also demonstrating our desire and commitment to delivering a cleaner, greener logistics service to our customers.”
Jan Kollmeier, Managing Director of MAN Truck & Bus UK said: “It’s always an honour to showcase a customer vehicle on a show stand, and we’d like to thank Andrew and the entire team at Malcolm Logistics for the loan of this vehicle.
