MAN TGA – predecessor to the TGX from 2000 to 2007/2008, the switch to common rail: type number from weight class and horsepower, in-line D08/D20/D28 engines up to 18,300 cm³, 228 to 485 kW
The TGA replaced the older MAN F2000 series in 2000/2001 and was MAN's top long-haul model until the TGX took over in 2007/2008; it introduced common-rail injection and a shared modular cab system with the L, LX, XL, XLX and XXL cabs. The type number follows the same logic as its successor: the leading digits give the weight class (18, 24, 26 tonnes and above), the last three roughly the output in horsepower, plus the axle formula 4X2, 4X4, 6X2 or 6X4. BL marks, under MAN's own naming, the construction version, LL the long-haul version, TS a trimmed special-equipment variant. Engines are MAN's own in-line D08, D20, D26 and D28 units, depending on power class.

The register lists 315 versions with 228 to 485 kW output, 6,871 to 18,300 cm³ displacement across 6 to 10 cylinders, unladen weights of 6,275 to 31,400 kg, gross weights of 9,300 to 47,000 kg and lengths of 5,725 to 12,000 mm at 2,450 to 2,800 mm width.
The TGA marks MAN's shift from a traditional commercial-vehicle maker to a modern modular manufacturer; it competed with the Mercedes-Benz Actros, Scania 4-series/R-series, Volvo FH and DAF XF, and remains common today as a used long-haul or construction truck.
On used examples, check the injection pumps and injectors of the common-rail system, clutch and gearbox (ZF-AS-Tronic), frame corrosion especially on tippers and construction vehicles, cab mounting and sealing, and parts availability, which on the older TGA already relies partly on used parts.

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.
