MAN TGL 8.180

Engine and Drivetrain

The MAN TGL 8.180 is powered by the D0834, a 4.6L four-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine rated at 180 hp (132 kW) and 700 Nm of torque, delivered from 1,400 rpm. The latest Euro 6d engines feature an SCR-only aftertreatment system, eliminating EGR for reduced weight and ease of maintenance, while preserving performance and efficiency. Transmission options include a 6-speed manual and the MAN TipMatic 6-speed AMT, with mission-specific programs (FLEET, PROFI, OFFROAD), hill-hold (EasyStart), and maneuvering modes. The chassis, based on a high-tensile ladder frame, is offered with wheelbases from 3,050 mm to over 5,550 mm. Suspension choices are parabolic leaf/leaf, steel/air with ECAS, or full air. Standard disc brakes and VOK-05 front/HY-0718 rear axles ensure reliable stopping power.

Cab Options and Ergonomics

Three cab variants are offered: the CC compact day cab (1,620 mm), TN/TM sleeper cabs with a single bunk and extra storage, and the DN crew cab for up to seven occupants, targeting municipal or specialist use. The NTG (2020+) cabs introduce a fully digital instrument display (up to 12.3”) and MAN SmartSelect rotary infotainment control, designed for precise operation in a moving truck. All cabs feature a stair-entry system and air-suspended AGR-certified driver’s seats. Flexible layouts increase driver comfort and cross-cab access.

Advanced Assistance and Safety Systems

The NTG generation integrates ACC Stop & Go, Emergency Brake Assist, Lane Return Assist, Turn Assist, Lane Change Support, and Traffic Jam Assist. MAN OptiView, an optional camera-based mirror replacement, improves visibility and situational awareness. Passive safety meets ECE-R 29-3, with reinforced structure and doors engineered for post-collision access.

Operational Profile

Payloads for 7,490 kg variants range from 2,100–2,800 kg, depending on body and cab. A tight turning radius, broad wheelbase options, and lightweight design position the TGL 8.180 as an efficient solution for urban distribution, regional tasks, and specialist crew operations. The NTG revision delivered up to 8% improved fuel economy over the prior generation, supporting low TCO and high reliability in daily operations.
