MAN TGM — the class above the TGL, read the same way

The TGM reads like its smaller sibling: gross vehicle weight in tonnes before the dot, engine output in horsepower after it. A TGM 18.290 is rated at 18 tonnes and delivers 290 hp. Anyone who knows the TGL knows the TGM's system too.

Together the TGL and TGM cover roughly 7.5 to 26 tonnes — distribution work in cities and regions plus lighter construction duty. The TGM is the heavier half: where the TGL ends at around 12 tonnes, its working range begins.

The difference is not only weight. The TGM is designed for bodies and duties demanding more frame rigidity — tippers, cranes, municipal bodies. Anyone planning a body should therefore establish early which class will carry it; a more powerful TGL does not replace a TGM.

For used purchases the same applies as with the TGL: the type number gives weight and power but says nothing about the year. Two vehicles with identical designations can be a decade apart in emissions stage and equipment. What matters is first registration and emissions standard, not the number on the cab.

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.
