Magirus-Deutz trucks 3.5 to 12 t (class N2) – collective page with air-cooled Deutz engines: type codes such as F6L613 and D ranges (D 10, D 11, D 12), gross weights up to 12 t
The EU vehicle class N2 covers trucks from 3.5 to 12 t gross vehicle weight; this page is a collective page built from registration data (Netherlands, Finland) bundling every Magirus-Deutz range recorded in that class. Magirus was founded in 1864 in Ulm and was initially known for fire engines and ladders; in 1936 the company merged with engine maker Klöckner-Humboldt-Deutz to form Magirus-Deutz and adopted its air-cooled diesel engines, recognisable by type codes such as F6L613 or D11FA, which carry the Deutz lineage in the engine code. In 1975 Magirus-Deutz was absorbed into the newly formed commercial-vehicle group Iveco. The register is dominated by the D ranges (D 10, D 11, D 12) plus older short-bonnet and forward-control models bearing the F prefix.

The register lists 126 versions with kerb weights of 3,150 to 11,440 kg and gross vehicle weights of 5,239 to 12,000 kg. Displacements range from 3,200 to 9,506 cm³ across 4 to 6 cylinders, length from 5,570 to 10,140 mm, width from 1,960 to 2,500 mm; output ranges from 96 to 124 kW.
Doing without a water radiator was the technical hallmark of the air-cooled Deutz engines – no antifreeze, no radiator leaks, but louder running noise – which made Magirus-Deutz trucks popular chiefly in construction and municipal fleets, where ruggedness mattered more than comfort; competitors were the Mercedes-Benz L/LP and MAN F8.
On a used example, what matters on the air-cooled engines is the condition of the blower and cooling fins, oil consumption as a wear indicator, plus frame and body corrosion and the condition of the brakes; spare parts for the Deutz engines are still available through specialist classic and youngtimer dealers, though bodywork parts grow increasingly scarce on the older model years.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
