Studies conducted by TÜV have confirmed that MAN trucks are characterized by an above-average high reliability rate.
In the TÜV Report Nutzfahrzeuge 2015, MAN can boast the highest percentage of vehicles that passed the TÜV inspection without any objections for the fourth year in a row. All examined vehicles of the TGL, TGM, TGS, and TGX series are characterized by the lowest percentage of defects. In the group of one-year-old vehicles, MAN improved its record from the previous year, achieving a defect-free vehicle rate of 85.9%. Also in the group of older vehicles (from two to five years old), MAN vehicles demonstrated above-average reliability during the inspection: “65.6% for five-year-old vehicles is an exceptional record,” we read in the TÜV Report 2015.
Systematic professional inspections – it pays off
– For the fourth time in a row, MAN has decisively taken the lead in the results presented in the TÜV report. This is a source of pride for the entire company – says Heinz-Jürgen Löw, member of the board for sales and marketing at MAN Truck & Bus. – The very high number of defect-free MAN vehicles found during the inspection is certainly good news for our customers. It simply means savings. The studies show that our customers can treat MAN as a reliable business partner. By purchasing MAN vehicles and using the services of our service stations, they are in the best hands.
This is also evidenced by the increasing number of service contracts concluded with MAN. For truck owners, systematic inspections simply pay off. Thanks to them, the vehicles in use are always ready for operation, and unplanned workshop visits are a thing of the past.
In the TÜV report on commercial vehicles, the Verband der TÜV e.V. association, together with the specialized German magazine Verkehrsrundschau, analyzes the results of inspections of commercial vehicles aged one to five years, carried out as part of the annual general inspection. The report is available on the websites: www.vdtuev.de or www.verkehrsrundschau.de/tuev-report.
