Chip tuning for MAN TGM TGM 280 280hp (206kW) 1100Nm ECU

MAN TGM (I) TGM 280 280hp (206kW) 1100Nm — commercial diesel engine of the commercial segment of the TRATON Group (Volkswagen Truck & Bus) group (Германия, 1758). Stage 1 chip tuning raises power from 280 to 320 hp (+40 hp, +14%) and torque from 1100 to 1265 Nm (+165 Nm).

MAN is part of the TRATON Group (the Volkswagen Truck & Bus division). The TGS, TGX and TGM are MAN's main truck series. MAN is a German truck and bus manufacturer, founded in 1758. High-output diesels head the truck segment, and Stage 1 is especially felt in Nm. Mid-generation truck models use standard OBD read/write. Truck diesels carry an extended set of maps for commercial load, with the focus on torque.

On high-output trucks, Stage 1 reduces fuel consumption under load. The professional logistics segment tunes for fuel consumption and pulling characteristics. The truck chip tuning community is an industry of its own, focused on long-haul routes. High-output MAN units are long-haul tractors with solid headroom for Stage 1.
