This automatic step for MAN TGE models built in 2017 or later with front-wheel drive (FWD) ensures ergonomic and safe access for everyday work. It significantly reduces physical strain, especially when getting in and out of the vehicle frequently, such as in service, trade, or delivery operations.
The generous step surface measuring 975 x 248 x 45 mm, combined with a maximum load capacity of 250 kg, offers a stable and durable solution for professional continuous use.
Why a step is useful on the MAN TGE front-wheel drive
Even though FWD models are slightly lower than rear-wheel or all-wheel drive variants due to their design, the entry height remains a stress factor in everyday commercial use. An automatic step significantly improves ergonomics, increases sure-footedness, and minimizes the risk of missteps.
Electric or mechanical version?
There are two variants to choose from for the MAN TGE front-wheel drive:
-
Electric comfort version with automatic extension and retraction
-
Mechanical, door-integrated version without electrical connection
Both systems are designed for reliability, stability, and long-term use.
Suitable for MAN TGE FWD (from 2017)
The step is compatible with the following MAN TGE front-wheel drive vehicle sizes:

Electric running board – automatic comfort
The electric version is activated when the right-hand sliding door (passenger side) is opened and extends within approx. 2 seconds. It retracts automatically when the door is closed.
- Anti-trap protection with automatic shut-off
- Status display in the driver's area
- Automatic, manual, and combined modes
- Camping mode for stationary operation
- Very low standby consumption
- Electronic end position detection
- ECE R10-compliant electronics
- Load capacity up to 250 kg
Mechanical step – reliable without electronics
The mechanical, door-integrated version operates entirely without electrical components. A sturdy actuating arm is mounted on the right-hand sliding door and controls the extension and retraction purely mechanically.
- No electrical connection required
- Robust construction for continuous commercial use
- Low maintenance and durable
- Load capacity up to 250 kg
Conclusion: Greater efficiency in everyday work
This automatic step for MAN TGE front-wheel drive models from 2017 onwards combines safety, ergonomics, and load capacity. Whether electric with comfort functions or mechanical and particularly robust, it offers a professional retrofit solution for demanding commercial applications.
