Comparison · 8×4 lorry · construction at 12.9 t
MAN TGS 35.400 8x4 vs Scania G 410 B8x4*4
What the numbers actually say
There is 0.6 l/100 km between these two (1.4%). That is inside the 10% tolerance of declared figures, so on fuel alone neither is the better choice: at 120,000 km a year and an assumed £1.40 a litre the gap would be about 720 litres a year (£1,008). The declared figures for one of them alone span 4.9 l/100 km across its configurations, so the specification ordered matters more than the choice between these two.
