Corinthian5, available with iPad2 communications, is<br />
a ‘technology-enhanced’ vehicle that is already being<br />
described as ‘<strong>the</strong> intelligent truck’.<br />
<strong>MAN</strong> Truck & Bus UK has<br />
introduced its <strong>the</strong> limited edition, ‘flagship’ tractor as part<br />
of its 20th Anniversary celebrations in <strong>the</strong> UK. The<br />
‘Corinthian5’ is available on both 4x2 and 6x2 TGX tractors<br />
with <strong>the</strong> spacious XXL cab. The trucks offer a choice of<br />
tried and tested driveline technology, with <strong>MAN</strong> D26<br />
engines at 440hp, 480hp and 540hp and <strong>the</strong> <strong>MAN</strong> TipMatic<br />
automated gearbox.<br />
Safety first!<br />
Active safety features immediately differentiate<br />
Corinthian5 from <strong>the</strong> more cosmetic stance often adopted in<br />
this niche of <strong>the</strong> market. The UK team has chosen <strong>MAN</strong>’s<br />
Lane Guard System, Electronic Stability Programme and<br />
Adaptive Cruise Control as key elements in this innovative<br />
approach to its ‘flagship’ vehicle. More innovation awaits<br />
<strong>the</strong> driver in <strong>the</strong> shape of an iPad2 communications and<br />
entertainment system, as well as <strong>the</strong> additional luxury of<br />
lea<strong>the</strong>r seats and interior cab fittings. Speaking about <strong>the</strong><br />
Corinthian5, <strong>MAN</strong> UK sales director, Sandy Millar, said, “We<br />
don’t anticipate selling huge numbers; it simply isn’t that<br />
sort of truck. But, as a leading manufacturer in <strong>the</strong> heavy<br />
tractor market, we’ve been getting enquiries for some time<br />
now from our customers for a flagship model.<br />
“This is a tremendous truck in so many respects, and its<br />
use of <strong>the</strong> latest technology and interactive systems have<br />
already had it described as ‘<strong>the</strong> intelligent truck’ by<br />
operators involved in development work with us.”<br />
The new truck comes with <strong>MAN</strong>’s comprehensive 3 year<br />
warranty and <strong>the</strong> company’s highly regarded <strong>MAN</strong> EcoStyle<br />
vehicle and driver performance monitoring system. ■<br />
