Hanomag-Henschel – other models: the collective page of vans from the 1969 merger, the F range F20 to F45 and the Matador van, four-cylinder engines throughout, 1.6 to 2.8 litres
This page gathers Hanomag-Henschel vans the register could not assign to a named range. Hanomag of Hanover and Henschel of Kassel merged their commercial-vehicle divisions into Hanomag-Henschel in 1969, before Daimler-Benz took over the division in 1971 and developed the light Mercedes-Benz vans of the 1970s from it. The model list shows the F range (F 20, F 25, F 30, F 35, F 45), whose number names the payload class in tenths of a tonne, and the older Matador van, plus the suffixes D for diesel, L for long versions and ND for versions with a standard-height roof.

The register lists here 30 versions with displacements from 1,622 to 2,815 cm³, four-cylinder engines throughout, unladen weights from 1,430 to 3,224 kg, gross weights from 2,400 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,750 to 2,280 mm.
In the 1960s and early 1970s Hanomag-Henschel was among the established German van makers alongside Ford, Mercedes-Benz and the VW Bus, before the takeover by Daimler-Benz ended the range as an independent line.
On used examples, rust on the cab, load bed and frame, the condition of the four-cylinder diesel engine, clutch and brakes, and the parts situation, which is limited to a few specialist suppliers because production has ceased, count.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
