MAN Truck & Bus has unveiled its new eTGL 12-tonne lightweight electric distribution truck designed for urban logistics.
With a range of up to 235 kilometres, fast charging in around 30 minutes and a payload of up to 6,600 kilograms, depending on the body, it is based on the TGL model from the company’s diesel portfolio.
The two battery packs developed by MAN are mounted on the left and right of the frame and offer a usable capacity of 160 kWh.
Its drive unit – an electric motor and two-speed gearbox – is positioned centrally in the frame and delivers the drive power of 285hp or 210kW to the rear axle via a cardan shaft.
Charging takes place via CCS connection with up to 250kW in about 30 minutes.
The 4500 mm wheelbase, designed for manoeuvrability in the city, can be combined with body lengths of 6200 to 7300 mm.
In addition, a central, fully digital 12.3-inch display provides comprehensive information on the battery charge status, range, current energy requirements and recuperation.
The eTGL, which will be on show at the IAA show in Hanover, Germany later this month, joins the eTGS and eTGX in the MAN range, meaning the manufacturer now offers fully electric versions of its trucks from twelve to 42 tonnes.
Alexander Vlaskamp, CEO of MAN Truck & Bus, said, “With the new eTGL, MAN is becoming a true full-range provider in the field of electromobility.
“From night-time supermarket deliveries to heavy-duty long-distance transport, MAN offers transport companies zero-emission drives from a single source.
“With its high payload, short charging times and optimum range for urban logistics, the eTGL perfectly rounds off our eTruck portfolio.”
