MAN eTGE Electric Luton Review

From the drive system to the interior, the MAN eTGE Luton is an impressive Luton van bursting with benefits.

The eTGE has a fully electric engine meaning you are guaranteed a quiet and smooth ride with low running costs.

The eTGE is also available in a number of bodies, including panel, box, tipper, platform, Luton and crew, so you can choose the eTGE to suit your needs.

There are three charging options available to ensure that you can stay mobile everywhere in the eTGE van, with standard AC wall box charging at home and DC charging at charging stations. No need to worry about where the nearest charging station is as the eTGE comes with a standard onboard navigation system, showing you the closest charging system to your current location.

Whilst like most electric vehicles, the MAN eTGE Luton is more expensive to buy outright than diesel options, it is available to buy on finance at Van Sales UK for just £429 + VAT, making it a much more cost-effective solution.

Keep on reading to discover our thoughts on the engines, specs and interior of the MAN eTGE Luton.

Engines and Spec

The MAN eTGE boasts a fully electric engine, meaning you are guaranteed a smooth, quiet and environmentally-friendly ride.

Of course, the MAN eTGE requires charging to be able to run. This can be done at a DC charging station, using an AC wall box (which will fully charge it in just five and a half hours) or even using a 23 V socket (which can fully charge it in nine hours).

Installed on the premises of your company or at home, it ensures that your electric van is charged overnight and ready for use in the morning.

In stop-and-go traffic, the MAN eTGE delivers electrical energy back to the battery during each coasting phase thanks to recuperation.

Numerous studies have shown that people driving in urban areas complete a daily average mileage of 37-50 miles (60-80 km); the MAN eTGE effortlessly handles this, achieving a range of 68-71 miles (110-115 km). It is worth noting, however, that this is subject to certain factors (i.e. average speed range, terrain, load, use of auxiliary consumers etc).

Interior

The MAN eTGE Luton does not compromise practicality for comfort. The eTGE provides you with generous loading space for your boxes, shelves and equipment. With up to 10.7 m³, it has the same transport capacity as a standard MAN TGE panel van with rear-drive and high roof.

Not only this, but the interior of the MAN eTGE Luton is extremely versatile, allowing you to choose from numerous design options – from wooden or universal flooring, tie-down rails and claddings for floor, side walls, partition wall and ceiling, to precision-fitted shelving systems. Bright LED lighting for the loading bay is also available for the eTGE – as standard.

The MAN eTGE uses a highly efficient, purely electric heating and air conditioning system to maintain comfort during your journey. There is also an option for a heated steering wheel and heated seats to deliver even more comfort whilst driving.

So, if comfort and transport capacity is what you are looking for, the MAN eTGE Luton is a sure choice.

"Found these guys online and was a little bit wary to buy a new van from someone I hadn't heard of. From the off, the first phone call was professional and gave me all the information that I needed, Theo was great, helpful and I proceeded to order my new van, Paige sorted the paperwork quickly and efficiently and within 10 days I had my new van delivered! The price was very competitive and all parts of the transaction were easy and hassle free, wouldn't hesitate to recommend these guys, Thank you so much for a really good experience."

"I was looking for a good deal on a van online and then came across Van away, at first I was a bit sceptical but later went ahead and bought a Peugeot boxer on an unbeatable price online. The sell team were fantastic all the way and very helpful to say the least. I will highly recommend Van away to anybody that's looking for a van of any kind. Thanks Van Away for your first class service and I will be looking forward to a future deal."

"Just purchased a 2nd van through Vanaways to add to our company fleet. Steve Catley was helpful, communicative and informative all the way through the process. We would definitely use Vanaways again, and would not hesitate to recommend them."

"Paige was outstanding in her responsiveness to what presented as a serious problem for our company. The finance company used by her company caused unnecessary and significant delays in the delivery of our van - the pain of which was mitigated somewhat by Paige's proactive communication, informative and realistic communication and very professional demeanour. I'd recommend her and she meant our view of Vanaways was overall positive."
