MAN eTGL
For a cost comparison MAN gives more than usual: 0.69 kWh/km behind its 310 km range, a 10 to 80 % charge in about 35 minutes at 250 kW, and about 6.6 t of chassis payload. What is still missing to set it against a diesel TGL is the price, and range and consumption are MAN's own figures, not measured under EU rules.
Battery160 kWh
Range310 km
DC charging250 kW
Payload6.6 t
