[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] MAN Truck & Bus Korea launched two tractor models equipped with the D26 engine that meets the Euro 6D emission regulations on the 19th.

The newly released products are the ‘MAN TGX 510hp 6X2 EfficientLine3 Tractor’ and the ‘MAN TGX 470hp 6X2 Economy Tractor.’ Together with the five previously launched models equipped with the D38 engine, MAN Truck & Bus Korea has completed a total lineup of seven tractor models.

The D26 engine installed in the new products simplifies the engine structure through an effective combination of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) system and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR), achieving improvements in durability, performance, and fuel efficiency. At the same time, the SCR function is enhanced by a method that does not consume compressed air during urea injection, increasing efficiency.

It delivers a maximum output of 510 horsepower and a maximum torque of 265 kgf·m. Additionally, by adopting numerous components with smart energy-saving features, fuel efficiency has been improved by up to 4% compared to the previous Euro 6C engine. For auxiliary braking, the electronically controlled engine valve brake (EVBec) and a retarder are standard equipment, providing excellent auxiliary braking power.

Advanced safety features have also been enhanced. An automatic distance control cruise system (ACC) with a stop-and-go function that reduces driver fatigue in congested traffic is standard on all models. Other features include the emergency braking system (EBA), which has been standard on all tractor models since last year, as well as the lane guard system (LGS) and electronic stability program (ESP).

The MAN TGX 510hp 6X2 EfficientLine3 Tractor is one of the flagship models in the MAN tractor lineup, delivering powerful performance with the highest torque in its class of 265 kgf·m. It comes standard with the XLX cab, which provides the best driving and resting space for drivers, including premium convenience features such as a parking air conditioner. Notably, it also features a ‘variable axle load distribution’ function that evenly distributes the load applied to the three axles during heavy cargo transport, enhancing the traction of the drive axle.

The MAN TGX 470hp 6X2 Economy Tractor focuses on rationality. It is equipped with a large XLX cab and a 12.4L class D26 engine, along with various convenience features for durability, safety, and efficiency. The combination of electronically controlled 4-bag air suspension and high-performance disc brakes provides driving stability and a comfortable ride for the driver.

Max Burger, President of MAN Truck & Bus Korea, said, “The MAN TGX tractor has long been recognized on the field for its performance, durability, and stability. Especially, the newly launched Euro 6D tractor D26 engine lineup offers a reasonable solution that combines excellent performance with the best economy.”
