MAN TGE Multi-Cab ABK-2301, built 2021: a double-cab version of class N1 with a 1,968 cm³ four-cylinder diesel engine, 3,500 kg gross weight and a length of 6,840 mm
The model name Multi-Cab here directly names the body type: a double or multi-seat cab offering more seats than the plain driver's cab without giving up load space. Such conversions are built on the MAN TGE chassis when construction or municipal crews need room for several people and, at the same time, for tools and material on the same vehicle; the suffix ABK-2301 is the type designation of this conversion.

The vehicle carries the range's familiar four-cylinder diesel engine of 1,968 cm³, at a gross weight of 3,500 kg and a kerb weight of 2,298 kg; this gives a payload of about 1,202 kg, high for a vehicle with an extra cab, because the base length of 6,840 mm remains shorter than on plain panel vans in this range. The wheelbase of 4,490 mm is nevertheless the same as on the longer bodies in the range.
Double-cab chassis of this kind carry their load on a shorter platform or in a more compact box body behind the extended cab and suit tasks where a crew travels to a site together with its equipment, instead of transporting personnel and material separately.
When buying such a conversion second-hand, what counts is the condition of the extra cab seats and seatbelt anchor points, the professional connection of the extended cab to the original chassis, the usual wear points on engine and brakes, and whether parts for the cab conversion itself are still available from the conversion firm.
