MAN Importers Ireland has sold the 1,000th MAN TGE van in Ireland.

The van was sold to D&D Window & Door Services Limited, who collected the vehicle from MAN Importers Ireland’s headquarters in Dublin.

MAN Importers Ireland, who celebrated 35-years in business last year, are the exclusive distributor of MAN trucks, buses and vans to the Irish market.

The MAN TGE was first launched in 2017 and since that time has developed a growing reputation amongst Irish customers as a reliable, efficient and comfortable van, suitable across a wide array of applications.

The vehicle was collected by Darren Hynes, Director of D&D Windows & Doors, who specialise in the refurbishment of timber windows and doors in Dublin and the surrounding area. Darren was presented with a goody bag in recognition of purchasing this milestone vehicle.

The vehicle was supplied on finance by TRATON Financial Services, with MAN Account Manager, Simon Lynskey, commenting: "Congratulations to all the team here at MAN Importers on reaching this incredible milestone, not to mention Darren and David on their brand-new vehicle. We're very proud to celebrate this achievement by supporting one of the first sales through MAN Finance Ireland, now under the umbrella of TRATON Financial Services."

In 2024, MAN unveiled the TGE 'Next Level', marking a significant technological advancement in their van lineup. This update featured a significant upgrade to the driver experience, including a completely redesigned dashboard with a digital instrument cluster and a freestanding touchscreen. Other enhancements included an ergonomic multifunction steering wheel, electronic parking brake and Keyless Go functionality, all aimed at elevating driver comfort. Safety has also been substantially improved with the addition of eleven new assistance systems (27 in total), encompassing Active Lane Guard System, Parking Assist, Fatigue Detection, Traffic Sign Information, Intelligent Speed Assist and Tyre Pressure Monitoring System.

Tom Farrington, Head of LCV at MAN Importers Ireland, concluded: “The reputation of, and enthusiasm for, the TGE product continues to grow and grow. We already have orders placed in the hundreds for 2025. This is a product which is now firmly established as part of the light commercial vehicle landscape in Ireland.”
