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.
