When will this drop of oil take a Truck 100 km?
Probably never. But these kinds of visions motivate our engineers more than anything else. Because attempting the impossible means achieving the possible.
An example: within a few years, our engineers have developed engines which reduce harmful emissions by 90% compared to 1990. Who would have believed it back then? Today, innovative MAN technologies are reducing the fuel consumption and emissions of diesel engines more efficiently than ever before. And, at the same time, dramatic improvements in aerodynamics have noticeably reduced the fuel requirements of our new generation of trucks, TGX and TGS.
So, today, when we speak about the enormous improvement in our engines’ energy efficiency, we are merely continuing a trend we started long ago; to be lighter, cleaner, and more powerful. And that’s exactly what the global markets demand.
Whether it’s commercial vehicles, diesel engines, turbo machinery or industrial services: the technical innovations of the MAN Group ensure sustained technological leadership in our core competences – transport, propulsion and energy – and simultaneously support signifi cant environmental objectives.
Two decisive factors make us certain that the MAN Group will continue paving the way towards future groundbreaking innovations: the inquisitive nature of our development engineers and the power of their ideas. They are our fuel for the future.
