If patients cannot come to the vaccination center, the vaccine and the doctor have to go to the patients - for example, to old people's homes or rural areas. According to experts, widespread vaccination is one of the most effective measures against the further spread of the Corona virus SARS CoV-2. Therefore
MAN supports the national vaccination strategy with the MAN eTGE vac-cination mobile and brings the vaccine doses to the area in an environmen-tally friendly way thanks to electric drive.
Vaccination mobile based on the MAN eTGE offers cool boxes, emergency equipment and space for up to six people
Local emission-free operation thanks to battery-electric drive of the eTGE van
Decentralized vaccination centers directly with people in risk groups
With the vaccination mobile MAN wants to make an important contribution to containing the Covid 19 pandemic, because the vehicle based on the all-electric MAN eTGE makes it possible to transport vaccine as well as medical personnel directly to the people. Members of the main risk group, the over-80s, are often restricted in their mobility and therefore find it difficult to get to a vaccination center, especially if it is not located in their place of residence. This is where MAN comes in with its innovative vehicle concept: In support of the decentralized national vaccination strategy, the eTGE vaccination mobile is specifically designed for decentralized vaccination missions with cool boxes, emergency equipment and space for up to six people, such as medical personnel, who can carry out the vaccinations on site.
As a first step, it will be used in Furstenfeldbruck and Dachau areas. Medical personnel from
'We have always made an important contribution to society with our vehicles - they ensure that supermarket shelves are full, people can get to work by public transport, and rescue forces and fire departments can perform their important duties,' emphasizes Andreas Tostmann, Chairman of the Executive Board of
'Vaccination is the key to more normality. That's why I personally support the German government's drive to immunize as many people as possible as quickly as possible,' Tostmann emphasizes. 'MAN as a company is also aware of its importance in providing health care to the population. From the very beginning of the pandemic, our employees in the service operations and plants are doing their part under the highest safety precautions to keep the shelves full and people mobile.' Tostmann continues, 'We are convinced that our hygiene concepts at MAN offer our employees a very high level of protection. Keeping production going is extremely important because it allows for innovative ideas - like this vaccine mobile - and an ongoing economy creates the value a society needs to fund pandemic response.'

After the MAN Coronavirus Diagnostic Vehicle (left), the MAN eTGE Vac-cination Mobile is already the second vehicle with which MAN contributes to the fight against the Corona pandemic.
The company is therefore doing a great deal to ensure the safety of its colleagues: 'Since the beginning of the pandemic, we have always been stricter with our measures inside MAN than outside it,' explains Dr.
The benefits of the MAN vaccination mobile at a glance:
Flexible vaccination where it is needed most.
Easy vaccination of patients with limited mobility, e.g. in nursing or old people's homes
Faster achievement of a comprehensive vaccination quota
Space for up to six people with simultaneous refrigerated transport of the vaccine
As a battery-electric vehicle, the eTGE is completely emission-free locally. The range of a battery charge is around 120 to 140 km in practice (115 km according to WLTP). The eTGE can be fully recharged in just over five hours at a 7.2 kW AC wallbox. Alternatively, the use of AC (40 kW) and CCS plug enables fast charging to 80% charge level in just 45 minutes. In addition to the six seats for the medical escort personnel, the vehicle equipment includes cool boxes, an emergency set, automatic sliding doors, air conditioning as well as stationary air conditioning and an automatic step.
Not only the vehicle, but also the rapid cooperation of recognized experts in their field, is special about this project. The result, following the mobile MAN Coronavirus Diagnostic Vehicle unveiled in
The MAN eTGE vaccination mobile offers space for up to 6 people, for ex-ample medical staff, thanks to the converted and divided loading space.
In the cargo area of the vaccination mobile there are cool boxes, space for emergency equipment and sufficient loading space for further material that is needed, for example, for a decentralised vaccination station.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data has been determined according to the measurement procedures prescribed by law. Since
Additional equipment and accessories (e.g. add-on parts, different tyre formats, etc.) may change the relevant vehicle parameters, such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, and, in conjunction with weather and traffic conditions and individual driving style, may affect fuel consumption, electrical power consumption, CO2 emissions and the performance figures for the vehicle.
Efficiency classes rate vehicles for passenger transport with an M1 passenger vehicle registration, according to the CO2 emissions under consideration of the empty vehicle weight. Vehicles which conform to the average are classified as D. Vehicles which are above the current average are classified as A+, A, B or C. Vehicles which are below average are classified as E, F or G.
Additional information regarding the official fuel consumption, and the official specific CO2 emissions of new vehicles for passenger transport, with an M1 passenger vehicle registration, can be found in the 'Guide on the fuel economy, CO2-Emissions, and power consumptions of all New Passenger Car Models'. This guideline is available free of charge at all sales points and from the
In vehicle classes N1, N2 and M2, coolant of the type R134a is used. MAN TGEs of vehicle class M1 require coolant of the type R1234yf. The GWP value of the coolant used is 1.430 (coolant type R134a) and 4 (coolant type R1234yf). The fill levels depend on the coolant compressor and varies between 560 - 590 grams.
