Fuel efficiency. Don’t just take our word for it. At MAN we believe that our trucks are amongst the most fuel efficient on the market. As it happens we aren’t the only ones to think so, as more and more of our customers are also praising the fuel efficiency of our vehicles. Here are a few of their stories. If you have an MAN fuel efficiency story of your own, send it to us at marketing@man.com.au

“
Our fuel figures would be the envy of any transport operator.
”
“We had been trialling an MAN 18.360 4x2 prime mover and found a fuel economy improvement over competitive vehicles of 30 percent. You really have to know your costs. In our industry we have to understand and evaluate costs all the time. Our fuel figures would be the envy of any transport operator, given that we are experiencing 2.7km/litre with the B-double and in excess of 3.0km/litre with the single-drive prime movers and single semi-trailer units.” GEOFF AND STEVE HOPKINS HOPKINS TRANSPORT, AUSTRALIA
“What I’m really impressed with is the fuel economy.” “With its increased horsepower, the 540 is excellent – I love it. But what I’m really impressed with is the fuel economy – we’re averaging 1.975km/litre towing the B-Doubles which is really good. We’ve just had the 120k service completed and aside from the usual oil and filter changes it’s needed absolutely nothing doing to it – it’s a very reliable truck.” MARK PRENDERGAST PRENDERGAST LIVESTOCK, VICTORIA
“My MAN delivers brilliant fuel economy.” “The fuel economy really is the best thing about the MAN – I went fully loaded to Sydney just recently and came back fully loaded – around 24 tonnes all up. I averaged 2.54km/litre which is just outstanding and it’s only going to get better as the mileage increases. I’m just so pleased with my MAN – it’s turned out to be the best decision I ever made.”
TIN PHAM – TIN PHAM TRANSPORT, NSW
“We’re getting phenomenal fuel savings with our MANs.” “The fuel efficiency figures we’re recording with our new MANs are simply out of this world. The rigid truck we are running is returning up to 4.1km/litre and the prime movers are averaging 3.4km/litre – that’s simply phenomenal. Other trucks we’ve had on the fleet were only achieving 2.2km/litre, so the cost savings are substantial. We’re saving $4,000 per month on fuel with just one truck alone!” LES RUDD – RUDD’S HORSE TRANSPORT , QLD
“I’m exceedingly pleased with our MAN, particularly its fuel economy.” “The power and torque of the MAN is simply amazing considering the heavy load we pull. You don’t notice any slowing down regardless of the terrain. After 115,000 trouble free kilometres I’m exceedingly pleased with our MAN, particularly its fuel economy. We are averaging 1.9km/litre with our B-Double, running mostly VIC intra-state, one way empty. It’s a great result – better than any other truck in the fleet.” RON PICKERING – PICKERING’S BULK HAULAGE, VICTORIA
