The MAN TGS 18.320 belongs to the TGS series. Production: 2008. The engine delivers 235 kW, with a displacement of 10,518 cm³. The vehicle is 10,250 mm long and 2,550 mm wide. The unladen weight is 10,450 kg. The gross vehicle weight is 18,000 kg. The TGS series covers 791 models. Rated output within it ranges from 184 to 427 kW; the TGS 18.320 sits in the lower part of that range with 235 kW. Its immediate neighbours are the TGS 12.250 below it with 184 kW and the TGS 18.330 above it with 243 kW. Unladen weight within it ranges from 6,400 to 43,750 kg; here the TGS 18.320 sits at the bottom of that range with 10,450 kg. 5237 MAN models across 68 series are on record.

MAN TGS — heavy class, read the same way as TGL and TGM

The TGS follows the same rule as its smaller siblings: gross vehicle weight in tonnes before the dot, engine output in horsepower after it. A TGS 18.440 is rated at 18 tonnes and delivers 440 hp. Anyone who knows the TGL or TGM has nothing new to learn — only the class is different.

The four abbreviations together form MAN's Trucknology Generation: TGL for the light class, TGM for the medium, TGS for the heavy and TGX for the heavy long-haul class. TGS and TGX share their engineering largely; what separates them is the cab and the layout. The TGS is the worker, the TGX the traveller.

The practical dividing line follows from that. Anyone running construction, tipper, silo, hooklift or heavy distribution work ends up with the TGS. Anyone sleeping in the vehicle night after night is better served by the TGX. Between the two it is not power that decides but the cab and frame design.

The axle configuration usually stands right after the type number: 4x2, 6x2, 6x4, 8x4. It says how many wheels there are and how many of them are driven. For site work it is the single most important figure — an 8x4 reaches places where a 4x2 stops, regardless of horsepower.

For used purchases the rule of all commercial vehicles applies: the type number gives weight and power but no year. Two TGS 18.440 can be a decade apart in emissions stage, gearbox and equipment. What decides is first registration and emissions standard.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
