MAN municipal trucks - IFAT 2016

MAN Truck & Bus Press Release  /  May 31, 2016

Clearing leaves from the street with the aid of a road sweeper, collecting waste using a refuse collection vehicle, removing containers full of recyclables using the roll-off skip loader - activities of this type depend on vehicles used in the waste disposal sector, road maintenance or for winter gritting and snow clearing.

Flexibility, economy, environmental awareness, practicality, efficiency, reliability – these are just some of the high expectations municipalities and operators have of MAN trucks.

IFAT (http://www.ifat.de/index-2.html), the World's Leading Trade Fair for Water, Sewage, Waste and Raw Materials Management, held from May 30 to June 3, 2016 in Munich.

MAN presents Remondis with 4-axle TGS featuring new triple-axle configuration at IFAT 2016.

MAN Truck & Bus Press Release  /  June 7, 2016

At the world's leading environmental technology show, MAN has handed over the first Euro-6 TGS 32.360 8x2-6 chassis to refuse specialist Remondis.

Remondis Board Member Egbert Tölle and Purchasing Manager Josef Holtermann were presented the keys by MAN Truck & Bus Executive Board Member for Sales and Marketing Heinz-Jürgen Löw and Martin Zaindl, Head of German Regional Sales Southeast for Trucks.

The 360 hp four-axle vehicle with specially developed MAN TipMatic ASF automated transmission will be put into service with a rear loader waste collection superstructure at the Remondis branch office in Oberhausen.

The axle configuration of the 8x2-6 type features the special rear axle configuration with a steered pusher axle and a steered tag axle in addition to the driving axle.

This triple axis variant, which is increasingly in demand in the disposal industry, provides increased payload to the chassis with high manoeuvrability and reduced tyre wear in comparison with the classic 6x2 axle configuration.

MAN’s 8x2-6 configuration is ideal for waste collection operation where high payload reserves in the rear axle area are a key technological requirement. This is a real advantage, for example, when emptying organic waste collection bins as a cubic metre of organic waste weighs more than a cubic metre of household waste or recycling.

In refuse industry applications, the higher rear axle payload enables better area coverage each time, reducing the number of journeys and results in environmental benefits as well as saving time.

Another advantage of the new MAN 8x2-6 axle configuration is its availability direct from the factory. Complex and cost-intensive additional adjustment work is not required, also the vehicle can go directly from the production line to the body builder without delay.
