eTGX 40t

The MAN eTGX 40t has an Irish list price of €370,000 (including 23% VAT). After the ZEHDV Truck Grant of €50,000, the net cost is approximately €320,000. Confirm current pricing with your authorised dealer and verify grant eligibility at seai.ie.

The MAN eTGX 40t has a WLTP official range of 350km. In real-world Irish conditions — stop-start delivery routes, cold mornings and motorway runs with payload — expect approximately 270km per charge. This is sufficient for Dublin to Cork (260km) on a single charge.

The MAN eTGX 40t may qualify for the Zero Emission Heavy Duty Vehicle (ZEHDV) grant of €50,000 per vehicle for eligible N3 category trucks and M3 buses. The ZEHDV scheme is administered by the Department of Transport — not SEAI. Applications go to: zehdvgrant@pierse.ie. A single application can cover up to 10 vehicles (maximum €500,000 per application). The vehicle must be new and zero-emission. Contact the ZEHDV scheme directly for current eligibility and documentation requirements before placing an order. Do not apply through SEAI — this scheme is a separate programme entirely.

The MAN eTGX 40t has a maximum payload of 26,500 kg at a GVW of 40 tonnes. This is sufficient for full artic freight operations including palletised goods, refrigerated loads and bulk cargo. Note that electric trucks carry a slightly heavier kerb weight than diesel equivalents due to battery mass — always verify the specific variant's VIN plate payload figure. The WLTP range of 350km is tested at 80% of maximum payload.

The MAN eTGX 40t has a WLTP official range of 350km, measured at 80% payload under standardised test conditions. Under real-world Irish conditions — full payload, motorway speeds, varying weather — expect approximately 270km per charge. This covers Dublin to Cork (260km) on a single charge with payload. For long-haul routes beyond this, plan a midday rapid charge stop — the MAN eTGX 40t supports up to 150kW DC, adding approximately 100km of range in 29 minutes.

At 100,000km per year: depot charging at €0.24/kWh costs approximately €32,914 in electricity — compared to approximately €49,500 in diesel at €1.65/L for an equivalent truck. Annual fuel saving: approximately €16,586. Add maintenance savings — no diesel particulate filter, no AdBlue, no oil services, fewer brake replacements — typically €3,000–€6,000/year. Most fleet operators reach total cost of ownership parity within 3–4 years when the €50,000 ZEHDV grant is included.

The MAN eTGX 40t supports up to 150kW DC and 22kW AC. For overnight depot charging, a 22kW three-phase AC wallbox delivers a full charge in approximately 22 hours — ideal for vehicles returning to base each night. For faster turnaround, a 150kW+ DC charger charges 10–80% in approximately 134 minutes. ESB ecars Business and EasyGo Fleet both provide commercial depot charging solutions in Ireland. SEAI's EV Infrastructure grant can cover up to 75% of installation costs for commercial depots — apply before installation begins.

As a zero-emission vehicle, the MAN eTGX 40t produces no tailpipe CO₂ or NOx — it will not be subject to restrictions in any planned Irish Low Emission Zone. Dublin City Council and Cork City Council are both advancing LEZ plans targeting diesel vehicles in city centre and port areas. The MAN eTGX 40t will have unrestricted access to these zones when implemented. For operators currently running diesel trucks on inner-city routes, transitioning to zero-emission vehicles like the MAN eTGX 40t now — supported by the ZEHDV grant — positions your fleet ahead of compliance requirements.

Yes. MAN Truck & Bus is part of TRATON Group, majority-owned by Volkswagen AG. TRATON also includes Scania, Navistar and Volkswagen Caminhões. MAN has a well-established commercial vehicle dealer and service network in Ireland.

The MAN eTGX 40t supports up to 150kW DC and 22kW AC charging. At a 7.4kW home wallbox, a full charge takes approximately 65 hours. At a 50kW ESB ecars rapid charger, 10–80% takes around 403 minutes. At the maximum 150kW DC rate, 10–80% takes approximately 134 minutes.

The MAN eTGX 40t uses CCS (DC fast charging) and Type 2 (AC), compatible with all major Irish networks including ESB ecars, Ionity, EZO, Circle K and Applegreen.

Motor tax for the MAN eTGX 40t is €1020 per year — the rate for a zero-emission heavy goods vehicle (HGV) in the 40t GVW class. Commercial vehicle motor tax in Ireland is determined by gross vehicle weight (GVW), not CO₂ emissions. You can verify the exact band for your vehicle at motortax.ie.
