If you live somewhere away from civilization in the mountains, you might want to take a look at this minibus. This is a MAN TGE (technically identical to the VW Crafter) the on Track drive has been converted. Namely from MAN Truck & Bus in Innsbruck. The system from "TrackSystems" is built into the TGE, which is also based in Tyrol and wanted to show in cooperation that the TGE can really climb. The all-terrain MAN TGE Transporter can be used, for example, by ski lift operators in mountainous regions. By the way, this vehicle is one TGE station wagon with 8 seats plus driver's seat. It can transport both people and goods. And the drive fits all variants of the TGE.

That means also to the van or to the Double cabin with flatbed. And such a conversion can even be done in just over an hour. The installation hardly differs from conventional wheel changes. It just has to be one adapter plate in between, which is fixed with the original wheel bolts, and the connection to the axles is already established. This means that the corresponding vehicle can be used again at any time upgraded become. You have to be good with it 300 kg additional weight calculate, but somewhere away from the paved slopes that should hardly play a role. Also the additional width of the whole 2,4 meters should be less important. They are much more important Properties in deep snow.

25 to 50 km / h are possible with the drive

With caterpillar drive are 25 to 50 km / h possible and therefore normally use from 1st to 3rd gear. Incidentally, the Seikel chassis is growing well 30 mm upwards and thus there is enough ground clearance for the terrain. The brake system is still in the usual place and can be used as normal. The converted caterpillar TGE is only allowed on the public road not driving. If we get more information about the changes, there is of course an update for this report.
