This was the Alleleys truck that had dropped the bridge sections off into the goods yard at Loughborough.
The tractor unit is an MAN TGX 680 V8. This particular engine produces 680 horsepower @ 1900 RPM and has 3000Nm of torque.
Here it is seen inching its way out of the yard to negotiate the Friday rush hour traffic.
Launched in 2007, the TGX had Euro-4 exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) engines; 10.5-litre D20 400 and 440hp, and 12.4-litre D26 480hp. Despite a ‘AdBlue – add nothing’ campaign extolling the economic virtues of exclusively using exhaust gas recirculation (EGR), there were some early Euro-5 versions combining EGR with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) that requires AdBlue with the D26 at 540hp and brand new 16.2-litre V8 D28 engine rated at 680hp.
MAN moved to Euro-5 en masse in 2009, offering the EGR-only D20 at 400hp and D26 at 440hp, with EGR+SCR D20 available at 400 and 440hp, and D26 at 480 and 540hp, and the V8 680hp.
Through 2013 and 2014 MAN revealed its Euro-6 line up combining EGR and SCR; the 10.8-litre six-cylinder D20 available as a 360 and 400hp, then revised to 320 and 360hp in 2016. The D20 will soon be replaced by a smaller 9.0-litre D15 engine, with 330, 360 and 400hp.
The 12.4-litre D26 came back strong at Euro-6 with a choice of 420, 460 and 500hp. For extra oomph MAN unveiled its 15.2-litre D38 straight six-cylinder Euro-6 with 540, 580 and 640hp, which the replaced the 16.2-litre V8.
