By GlobalDataThe PowerLion driveline is a result of the Traton Group’s collective expertise, offering a 13-liter in-line six-cylinder engine with power outputs ranging from 380 to 560hp.
The MAN TipMatic 14 gearbox, coupled with improved aerodynamics, contributes to a 5% fuel and CO2 savings for the 2025 model year MAN TGX semitrailer tractors compared to the previous models.
MAN Truck & Bus Sales & Customer Solutions executive board member Friedrich Baumann said: “Our customer Gartner has been relying on MAN trucks for over 50 years. It is a great honour for us to continue and consolidate this proven partnership with this new agreement.
“The new framework agreement is also confirmation for us that MAN products meet the high demands that Gartner places on its vehicle fleet. We are very pleased to continue our cooperation.”
Gartner is also already using the MAN eTGX battery-electric on individual routes in Germany.
