IV The electric vehicle family: the MAN Lion’s City E, HIGHLIGHTS 2018 the MAN eTGE, and the MAN eTGM (from left to right) ↓ ELECTRIFYING PERFORMANCE MAN Truck & Bus scores points at the IAA Commercial Vehicles in Hanover with record trade fair sales and numerous innovations. New electric vehicles, in particular, were in the spotlight. MAN Truck & Bus sold around 11,000 trucks, buses, and vans at the IAA in September 2018, making it the company’s most successful trade fair of all time. One of the most important issues on the agenda at this trade show for commercial vehicles in Hanover? Electric mobility in an urban setting. MAN Truck & Bus presented a large number of innova- tive vehicles. The world premiere of the 15-ton fully electric MAN CitE, designed con- sistently to suit urban delivery needs, saw MAN set new standards in safety, ergonomics, and eco-friendly transportation. The concept truck electric van that went on sale at the IAA 2018 when boasts a range of at least 100 kilometers, enough for driving around the first four vehicles were handed over to Berlin’s the city for a day. It stands out thanks to its ergonomic design with an public transportation operator BVG. extremely low entry height and an even driver cab floor.

It offers a reliable range of 200, even up to The MAN CitE bridges the gap between the MAN eTGM, an electric 270 kilometers if conditions are favorable, across the truck with a permissible gross vehicle weight of 26 tons that is already entire battery life cycle. As part of several field tests, being put through its paces on Austrian roads, and the MAN eTGE, an a demo fleet’s suitability for daily use will be examined from mid-2020 onward in cooperation with various European operators. Serial production is scheduled to start in the second half of 2020.

MAN Truck & Bus’s new trucks and buses take shape in the CAVE well before the first physical prototype is built. “CAVE” stands for “Cave Automatic Virtual Environment.” The 3D test lab, a 46-square- meter high-tech creative design facility in Munich, is equipped with five high-performance computers that include high-end graphics cards, infrared cameras, and stereo projectors featuring 2K image resolution for four large screens. The precision work that takes place in the CAVE cuts lead development time and optimizes the production process. This enables up to 50% of all deviations to be eliminated before a prototype is built. “The advantage of virtual reality is that it saves us time, material, and a lot of money,” com- Employees at ments Martin Raichl, Advance Development and the CAVE virtual Prototyping Engineer at MAN Truck & Bus.

DIGITALLY The MAN Truck & Bus truck platoon is in oper- ation on its digital test NETWORKED TRUCK site, the A9 highway. CONVOY ON THE A9 A visionary research project has now become reality: the MAN Truck & Bus truck platoon is on the road and being tested in daily logistics operations — a one-of-a-kind practical experiment. Together with logistics provider DB Schenker and the Fresenius University of Applied Sciences, MAN Truck & Bus has launched two digitally net- worked trucks on its digital test site, the A9 highway between Munich and Nuremberg. Platoons carrying loads have been in operation along this 145-kilometer route every day since the fall of 2018. Joachim Drees, CEO of MAN SE and MAN Truck & Bus AG, on this unique practical test world- wide: “The findings from this joint project are an impor tant step toward series development. This will give MAN a leading role in the automation and digitalization of commercial vehicles.” During the practical testing phase, the platooning technology will be further optimized, for example with regard to system safety and fuel consumption. km test route VI MAKE WAY FOR THE DRIVERLESS LIFESAVER MAN Truck & Bus receives the 2019 Truck Innovation he accepted the award, MAN CEO Award for its fully automatic safety vehicle.
