- Bodies from Meiller and BE-Combi expand the range of products in the invoicing business
- New "Certified Van Partner" program intensifies MAN's cooperation with body and conversion manufacturers
The TRIGENIUS three-way tipper from Meiller and the semi-trailer combination with box body from BE-Combi are the new additions to the one invoice business of the van division of MAN Truck & Bus. This means that 13 different body offers are now available ex works. The assembled vehicles are covered by the MAN warranties and can be ordered directly from MAN by the customer and from a single source.
An innovative concept is the BE-Combi. The MAN TGE with 3.5-tonne GVW is combined with a 3.5-tonne trailer. The body manufacturer BE Combi converts the TGE into a tractor unit with a subframe, fifth wheel, air supply unit and intelligent braking system. They are joined by the 3500PLUS single-axle trailer from BE-Combi with a lightweight box from the manufacturer Junge, a tail lift and a roof spoiler. The semi-trailer combination has a gross combination weight of seven tonnes.
The highlight of this combination: Drivers only need a BE driving licence, i.e. no class C driving licence. The system offers a payload of around 2,650 kilograms and a load volume of up to 28 cubic meters, which can be used to transport ten Euro pallets. It is therefore an alternative to the 7.5-tonne truck. Safety functions such as ABS and ESP are transferred to the trailer.
The TRIGENIUS from Meiller also has innovative properties. It is a robust, weight-optimized three-way tipper made of Hardox steel with a high payload. The latter is achieved, among other things, by laser welding technology, which joins thin high-strength steels. In combination with a MAN TGE with 3.5 tonnes GVW, the customer can load up to 951 kg. For a 5.5-tonne TGE, it is up to 2,600 kg. Also new to the TRIGENIUS are the one-tonne lashing eyelets on the side walls for lashing goods projecting over the side wall, as well as the floor lashing eyelets with a holding force of two tonnes, which are far outside and accessible from the outside and inside. Meiller has also revised the side wall closures, risings and fenders.
Certified body manufacturers
With the new Certified Van Partner Program, MAN Truck & Bus is establishing a binding quality framework for cooperation with body and conversion manufacturers. The aim is to secure the variety of individual vehicle solutions based on the MAN TGE with clear standards and to strengthen cooperation with qualified partners.
Certification is carried out by the Bodybuilder Management Van and is based on a multi-stage testing process. Among other things, the quality of the finished vehicle, the successful completion of a compliance check in accordance with MAN specifications and the completeness and maintenance of the company profile on the MAN body manufacturer platform ABBI are evaluated. Only those who meet all the criteria will receive the certificate – valid for three years. Continuous monitoring and random quality controls ensure the sustainability of the program.
Certified partners benefit from closer ties to MAN: this includes joint sales and marketing activities, invitations to technical and product meetings, and access to technical information and training opportunities. Inclusion in the list of recommended body manufacturers also increases visibility in the MAN network and among end customers.
For MAN, the program means more transparency in the development and expansion process, a reduction in service cases and a strengthening of the brand through reliable partner standards. At the same time, customer satisfaction is increased through tested quality and coordinated processes.
"As a truck manufacturer, we have established a close relationship with the body manufacturers for decades. With the Certified Van Partner Program, we are now creating a reliable basis for quality, efficiency and trust – to the benefit of our van customers and partners," says Roy Tietze, Head of Van Bodybuilder Management at MAN Truck & Bus.

General information Country-specific availability may vary.
The vehicles and products displayed on this website may differ in terms of shape, design, colour and scope of supply. Some of the images may include special equipment, accessories and decorative elements which are subject to an additional charge. The technical features and equipment of the vehicles described are merely examples and may differ, in particular on a country-specific basis. Products and services shown may not be available in all countries. We reserve the right to make changes at any time.
The air-conditioning systems in our vehicles contain fluorinated greenhouse gases (R134a / GWP 1,430 with up to 1.15 kg equivalent to 1.6445 t CO2). In MAN TGE vehicle classes N1, M1, N2 and M2, refrigerant of the type R1234yf is used. The GWP value of the refrigerant used is 4 (refrigerant type R1234yf). In case of one refrigerant compressor, filling quantities vary between 540 and 570 grams. In case of two refrigerant compressors they vary between 785 and 815 grams.
With the MAN eTGE, refrigerant R134a is used. The GWP value of the refrigerant used is 1.430 (refrigerant type R134a). The fill levels depend on the refrigerant compressor and vary between 560 and 590 grams.
We, MAN Truck & Bus SE, are aware of our product responsibility for the packaging we put on the market and implement the specifications of the Packaging Act (VerpackG) responsibly. You can return the packaging that we have placed on the market in Germany that is not subject to system participation free of charge.
Additional information to MAN TGE
Our MAN TGE vehicles are equipped with summer tyres as standard. Please check the national regulations regarding any mandatory winter tyres. Your MAN partner will be happy to advise you.
The specified fuel consumption and emission data has been determined according to the measurement procedures specified by law. As from 1st September 2017, some new vehicles are already being type-approved according to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), a more realistic test procedure for measuring fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Since 1st September 2018, WLTP has also replaced the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) for light commercial vehicles. In cases where the fuel consumption and emission values are specified as value ranges, these do not refer to a particular individual vehicle and do not constitute part of the sales offering. They are solely used for comparison purposes between the different vehicle types.
Additional equipment and accessories (add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics. In conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and driving style, they may also affect fuel and power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.
Efficiency classes rate vehicles for passenger transport with an M1 passenger vehicle registration according to the CO2 emissions under consideration of the vehicle dead weight. Vehicles which conform to the average are classified as D. Vehicles which are above the current average are classified as A+, A, B or C. Vehicles which are below average are classified as E, F or G.
Additional information regarding the official fuel consumption and the official specific CO2 emissions of new vehicles for passenger transport with an M1 passenger vehicle registration can be found in the “Guide on the fuel economy, CO2 emissions, and power consumptions of all new passenger car models”. This guideline is available free of charge at all sales points and from the DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen, Germany ( https://www.datgroup.com/ ).
