The best things always turn up by accident don’t you think? Witness these pictures of super airport crash tenders sent to me by Gerald at tnn.co.uk who says: “Brian, I was browsing through MAN's site today looking for a picture of a TGX to use for a TNN article and found these which I thought you might like” For airport crash tenders work the Munich truck maker offers the new 8x8 SX chassis with a stonking 1000hp rear-mounted engine. The one pictured above is bodied by fire specialists Rosenbauer.
Here’s another 8x8 chassis this time bodied by Ziegler which is a company I’ve not encountered before--though that's hardly their fault!
Now click through here for a really nice ‘heavy hitter’ MAN TGX.
This TGX 41.680 has plenty of oomph thanks to its throbby V8 engine with the top 680hp rating. It’s designed for a gross train weight of 250-tonnes and probably comes from MAN’s specialist Vienna plant—-the old OAF Graf und Stift factory.
And finally, Biglorryblog is delighted to say that all the pictures on this posting comes courtesy of the MAN group.
