MAN eTGX: electric tractor for long-haul and its versions
MAN eTGX — the electric tractor unveiled in 2024. We look at the versions, battery, charging, and what to check if you're considering buying a used or new electric MAN tractor.
eTGX in brief
The MAN eTGX is the electric version of the TGX tractor, designed for regional and long-haul transport without emissions. It was unveiled in 2024 and is based on the new-generation TGX cab and chassis, with an electric motor and batteries replacing the diesel engine.
Since the eTGX is very new, there are hardly any used ones on the market. Therefore, this article helps to assess the model's potential and what to know before buying.
Versions and configurations
The eTGX is offered as a 4x2 tractor and as a 6x2-4 version (with an additional axle). The numbers in the name (e.g., 20.544 or 27.449) indicate the permissible weight and maximum power.
Cabs — the same as the new-generation TGX, with a sleeping area for long hauls. Trailers are attached just like with conventional tractors, so it's compatible with existing semi-trailers.
Batteries, charging, and power
The electric eTGX is powered by batteries, whose capacity depends on the version and the number of battery packs chosen. A larger capacity provides a greater range but increases weight and cost, so choose according to your routes.
The truck can be charged with direct current (CCS) from fast-charging stations, and companies often set up their own charging infrastructure on-site. The range depends on the load, temperature, route, and driving style, so planning should be based on real data.
What to check when buying an eTGX
First, find out the condition of the battery and the warranty terms: what warranty applies to the battery, how many cycles it has endured, and if there is a manufacturer's diagnostic report. This is the most crucial element of an electric truck's value.
Check if your charging infrastructure is compatible with the truck and what the actual charging time will be. Also, check the cooling system, high-voltage connections, and software updates.
Standard checks — chassis, suspension, brakes, tires, and cabin — remain the same as with a diesel truck. For insurance, taxes, and road tax exemptions, check the current regulations.
