Shopping on line can be easy, simple and save you lots of money. It can also take a lot of your time, frustrate you, and result in unwanted purchases. Now the same can be said for regular high street shopping, but with the vast opportunity presented by the Internet it will pay you to spend a few minutes reading this and understanding how to better optimize your Man Ag shopping experience:
1. Compare - without doubt the biggest advantage that the Man Ag offers shoppers today is the ability to compare thousands of Man Ag at a time. This is a great thing, but not necessarily all the time! Too much can be daunting at times so take advantage of the great comparison sites and where possible let them do the hard work for you.
2. Research - if it has been said it will be on the internet. Ignorance is no longer a justifiable reason for buying the wrong thing. Take the time to research in detail everything that you could possible want to know about
3. Testimonials - don't know anybody that has bought a Man Ag? Wrong! If the Man Ag is good the internet will let you know. Use the Internet as a friend and get testimonials before you buy.
4. Questions - Got a question about Man Ag then search the Forums, FAQ's, Blogs etc. Don't be afraid to ask .....
5. Reputation - Never heard of the company selling Man Ag? Don't worry, no reason why you should know every company in the world, but you know someone that does! Use the internet to find out what people are saying about Man Ag and build up a picture of their reputation for sales, returns, customer service, delivery etc.
6. Returns - still worried that even after all of the above your Man Ag wont be what you want? Check out the returns policy. There is so much competition now that someone, somewhere is bound to offer the terms that you are comfortable with.
7. Feedback - happy with your Man Ag then let people know, after all you are depending on others people input in your buying decision, so why not give a little back.
8. Security - check for the yellow padlock on the Man Ag site before you buy, and the s after http:/ /i.e. https:// = a secure site
9. Contact - got a question about Man Ag, or want to leave a comment then check out the sites contact page. Reputable companies have them and respond.
10. Payment - ready to pay for your Man Ag, then use your credit card or PayPal! Be aware of companies that don't accept them, there may be genuine reasons but given the huge amount of choice you have when buying online there is no reason at all not to buy via credit card or PayPal.

MAN Aktiengesellschaft (
German language:
Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG, ) is a
Germany transportation company.
The MAN Group is mostly known for producing buses and trucks though the group is primarily involved in engineering activities.
MAN specializes in:
- Commercial vehicles
- Diesel and hybrid truck diesel-electric engines
- Turbomachines
- Industry services
History
In 1898 the
Maschinenbau-AG Nürnberg (founded in 1841) and the
Maschinenfabrik Augsburg AG (founded in 1840) merged to become the
Vereinigte Maschinenfabrik Augsburg und Maschinenbaugesellschaft Nürnberg A.G., Augsburg. The company was renamed in 1908 to
Maschinenfabrik Augsburg-Nürnberg AG, Augsburg (M.A.N.).
Today it is one of Europe's leading manufacturers of engineering equipment and vehicles. In 2005, its 60,000 employees generated annual sales of around
Euro15 billion in 120 different countries. The company has joint ventures and other cooperations with local companies in India,
Poland, Turkey, and the United States.
MAN is listed on the DAX and is well respected in the field of transport engineering, having won numerous prizes. The latest ones achieved were in 2006 with the title "Truck of the year" and "coach of the year".
On September 18,
2006, MAN made a €10.3 billion offer for a takeover of
Scania AB, one of the leading truck and bus companies in
Sweden. If the merger goes ahead, they would become Europe's biggest truck maker. MAN AG bought 14.5% of the voting shares in Scania AB. Volkswagen AG, Scania's largest shareholder, acquired a stake of 20% of MAN, and has since raised that stake to 29%. It is expected that a combined MAN-Scania will also absorb Volkswagen's
Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles operations (and possibly the European Van operations, although this has yet to be officially confirmed). Volkswagen is expected to have a minority stake of at least 25.1% in the merged entity.

Electrodynamic moving-off element
MAN EDA concept is examining the stop-start automatic system, the requirement-specific electric drive for secondary units, the implementation of the clutch function, the synchronisation of gear changes with the aid of an electrodynamic moving-off element (EDA) and the
booster function for extra power.
Two distribution vehicles with parallel hybrid drives are currently being tested: one vehicle features a starter-
alternator (MAN TGL OPTISTRANG) integrated in the clutch housing, the other vehicle, an MAN TGL EDA, is equipped with an electrodynamic moving-off element (EDA) developed together with ZF Friedrichshafen.
