Magirus-Deutz – other models: the collective page of Ulm trucks and fire-fighting vehicles outside named ranges, from the 90 M to the 232 D 19, fire trucks Jupiter and Pluto, 4.1 to 12.7 litres
This page gathers Magirus-Deutz trucks the register could not assign to a narrower individual range, with a clear focus on fire-fighting vehicles. Magirus, founded in 1864 in Ulm as a maker of fire-fighting equipment, merged in 1938 with the Cologne engine maker Deutz to form Magirus-Deutz and was absorbed in 1975 into the Iveco commercial-vehicle group; the fire-fighting business continues to this day under the Magirus name. The type number, as in the 90 M or 232 D 19, gives the power class and sometimes the axle count, D19 for instance standing for the diesel engine with around 190 hp; TLF and LF are the standard German fire-service abbreviations for tanker pumper and pumper appliance, while Jupiter and Pluto were Magirus model names for fire-fighting and airport crash-tender vehicles.

The register lists here 13 versions with 96 to 131 kW from four- to eight-cylinders of 4,058 to 12,667 cm³, unladen weights from 3,135 to 14,200 kg, lengths from 5,780 to 8,350 mm and widths from 2,200 to 2,550 mm.
Magirus-Deutz, with its air-cooled Deutz engine and distinctive round-nosed cab, shaped German construction-site and long-haul transport for decades and was at the same time one of Europe's leading makers of fire-fighting vehicles, whose designs extended to airport crash tenders such as the Pluto range.
On these historic chassis, the condition of the air-cooled engine, rust on frame and cab, and on fire-fighting vehicles additionally the pump, tank and body hydraulics as well as the inspection history count; parts run through classic-vehicle specialists and, for the fire-fighting business, through the successor company Magirus.
