PORT KLANG: A year after its introduction in Malaysia, more hauliers are now opting for the New MAN Truck Generation with low emission Euro V engines as standard as their preferred transport solutions.
Following a 41-unit delivery to FGV Transport Services Sdn Bhd last month, MAN Truck & Bus (M) Sdn Bhd (MAN Malaysia) has welcomed another four new, first-time customers at its latest handover ceremony at Port Klang recently.

Artha Logistics Sdn Bhd, which ordered two units of the 6X2 variant; Mawar Movers Sdn Bhd (one unit each of 4X2 and 6X2), Transprompt Cargo Logistics Sdn Bhd (two units of 6X2) and Vertex Mission Sdn Bhd (two units of 4X2 and three units of 6X2) each received their first units while Timur Permai Haulage Sdn Bhd completed delivery of its second unit of the New MAN TGS with Euro V engines.
The New MAN TGS 4X2 and 6X2 variants, designed for short-haul and long haul-transportation respectively, have proven to be reliable and able to deliver superior performance and fuel efficiency on the road despite the challenging weather and operating conditions in Malaysia.

At the event, MAN Malaysia managing director Andrew O’Brooks thanked the customers for their smart decision in boosting their fleets with MAN Trucks.
“MAN shook up the market when we became the first truck manufacturer in Malaysia to offer Euro V engines as standard across our entire product portfolio and we have not looked back since.

“We are delighted to see more and more Malaysian transporters do their part in reducing their fleets’ carbon footprint with lower emission MAN Trucks.
“2022 was an amazing year of growth for us and with increasing support from industry players, we are looking forward to an exciting year ahead,” he said.

O’Brooks added that MAN Malaysia has been preparing itself to meet the demands of a growing pool of customers in the country.
After nearly three decades in Rawang, the company has relocated its headquarters to a modern and spacious integrated facility in Shah Alam that would eventually house its entire operations, including vehicle assembly, under one roof.

Vertex Mission managing director Soo Chee Yeong said MAN Malaysia’s innovative approach that included arranging test drives and visits to its head offices and assembly plant were crucial in convincing his company to invest in MAN Trucks for the first time.
“MAN Malaysia clearly understands the challenges faced by the transport industry. They proactively reached out to transporters like us and offered a winning product that was completely redeveloped to help businesses achieve both profitability and sustainability goals,” he said.
The New MAN Truck Generation with Euro V engines as standard leads the way in driver orientation, fuel efficiency, assistance systems, digital networking and above all, sustainability.
