First MAN truck for J Adams Transport

Tractor Units
Northern Irish haulage firm J Adams Transport and Sons has taken delivery of its first MAN vehicle, a TGX 26.480 6x2/2 BLS, after a demonstrator proved popular with drivers and with the firm’s boss.

Owner John Adams got behind the wheel to return the vehicle and, he says, “I realised what a good drive it was… I was definitely interested in adding one to the fleet”.

The TGX has a six-cylinder, 12.4-litre engine delivering 480bhp at 1,800 rpm, and drives through a Tipmatic 12-speed transmission.

The vehicle is supplied on contract hire and is in use on the firm’s longer haul routes across to the mainland.
