MAN Truck & Bus UK has announced that the much-anticipated MAN TGE will be revealed at the IAA Commercial Vehicle Show, in Hanover in 2016.

Simon Elliott, the company’s managing director said that positive demand is already expected for the vehicles. The new product will offer various power ranges with front, rear and four-wheel drive and a choice of transmissions, producing a vehicle to meet all van drivers’ needs.

It is anticipated that the new product will allow for further development of the UK Dealer Network. “Customers have repeatedly asked me about the possibility of an MAN van, so it’s great to be able to confirm that we are in the market,” said Simon. “This new addition to our range puts another building block in place for our future. We are keen to offer the HGV approach to repair and maintenance for our customers by reducing operator downtime. I am confident that our new product will do very well in a competitive market. The next few years are going to be very exciting.”

Mr Elliott has already appointed Andrew Taylor to head up the MAN van project.
