MAN 41.680 - Christen

On my way through Switzerland I came across this MAN that was standing in a industrial area.

It's a TGX 41.680 8x4 of Christen from Biel. It is driven by a 16 liter V8 with 680 hp, connected to a ZF TC-Tronic.

The tower behind the cab is similar to other 680's. Beside the mufler they mounted a small toolbox. The mudflaps where replaced by steel versions, a common option in these countries.

The MAN was connected to a 4-axled Goldhofer lowloader.

That had a Casagrande drilling rig from Marti as a load.

This side has gotte a small toolbox below the batteries. Chain compartments where installed between de mudguards.

Beside this 8x4 tractor, Christen also has got the 8x6 version in it's fleet.
