MAN Truck & Bus (M) Sdn Bhd (MAN Malaysia) showcased its full range of products and services for the first time in Malaysia at the 2024 edition of Malaysia Commercial Vehicle Expo (MCVE).
MAN Shows Strong Presence at MCVE
“We had a wonderful outing in MCVE 2022 when we wowed the crowd with our Euro V specification MAN Trucks, including our flagship MAN TGX. This time, we are delighted to present the full range of MAN low-emission commercial vehicles for the first time in Malaysia, including our popular MAN TGE Van,” said MAN Malaysia Managing Director Andrew O’Brooks.
Leading the impressive line-up was the MAN TGS Prime Mover, Malaysia’s best-selling Euro V specification truck, which is available in two variants – 6×4 and 6×2 ADR (Accord Dangereux Routier or European regulations for Dangerous Goods specification). The latest MAN TGS is even more robust, with improved aerodynamics and enhanced safety features.
Also on display was the MAN RR5 Bus/Coach chassis, now equipped with a Euro V-specification engine. This reliable chassis is seen as the ideal solution for intercity transport providers by offering proven fuel efficiency, low maintenance, total durability, reliability and now, sustainability. Enhanced with a full suite of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), it offers optimum safety to the driver, passengers and other road users.
Making its debut in Malaysia was the versatile MAN TGE Van, one of the best-selling vans in Europe. Powered by a fuel-efficient and low-emission 2.0-litre turbodiesel engine, the MAN TGE is easily customisable and available in several configurations, including Panel Van, Chassis Cab, Crew Cab, Combi Van or Mini Bus.
O’Brooks mentioned that MAN Malaysia proactively ramped up its after-sales support this year to help fleet owners manage and mitigate the effects of rising costs.
To provide greater flexibility for transporters and maximise vehicle uptime, the Shah Alam service centre extended its operation hours to 18, from 8:30am to 2:30am the next day, Monday through Friday. The late shift until 2:30am offers fleet owners the option to schedule maintenance and repairs at night, thus ensuring their vehicles could be on the road during the day.
Drivers could rest in the customer lounge, which features recliner sofas, shower facilities and refreshments while waiting for their vehicles. Appointments are made through the online booking service on the MAN Malaysia website at www.man.com.my.
MAN Malaysia is also promoting its value-for-money MAN Genuine Parts Ecoline range that offers high-quality remanufactured parts for older MAN Trucks with savings of up to 40 per cent without compromising performance.
“We are meeting the needs of the market in Malaysia with these initiatives. At MAN Malaysia, we are focused not only in selling great trucks and buses. We want to help businesses power ahead with confidence, knowing that we always have their back,” he added.
