At the Johannesburg Truck & Bus Show, MAN Truck & Bus S.A. will present its unique vision for the road transport industry, combining its current range of products and services with Concept S, MAN’s truck design study that proves how optimised aerodynamics can drastically reduce fuel consumption as well as the CO2 emissions.

Supporting this exciting commercial transport sustainability initiative will be the full spectrum of MAN and Volkswagen trucks, including the flagship MAN TGS WW truck-tractor, the next-generation MAN CLA, the latest MAN TGM derivatives and the full range of Volkswagen Constellation heavy-duty trucks.

MAN’s market-leading Lion’s Explorer bus range will be complemented by its new siblings in the Volksbus stable, offering passenger-transport professionals a suite of people-carriers designed to suit a broad array of transit applications.

“Visitors to the exhibit will experience MAN’s unrivalled approach to customer satisfaction that has helped bring MAN Truck & Bus S.A. a CSI (Customer Satisfaction Index) rating close to 100%,” says Bruce Dickson, Deputy CEO, MAN Truck & Bus S.A.

MAN’s ‘Four Pillars of Support’ will also be featured at the show, demonstrating how product quality, tailor-made finance solutions, 24/7 support and hands-on service combine to deliver lowest cost-of-ownership and maximum uptime,” he says.

MAN TopUsed will display premium-class late-model trucks and buses, giving buyers an affordable vehicle procurement alternative and preferential buy-back options. Joining them on the stand will be men from MAN Driver Training, explaining to customers how to get the best out of their drivers and their MAN or VW commercial vehicle.

“MAN’s integrated and holistic approach to sustainable road transport is unique and firmly supports our pledge to customers to optimise their profitability by making sure every vehicle we sell remains consistently efficient on the road, now and into the future,” concludes Dickson.
