The Mercedes Benz 818L-8.6T-97022 is a lorry of the Mercedes-Benz 818L type series, built in 2003. The engine delivers 130 kW from a displacement of 4,250 cm³. The vehicle measures 7,220 mm in length and 2,600 mm in width. Kerb weight is 5,300 kg, gross vehicle weight is 8,600 kg.
The displacement of 4,250 cm³ matches the four-cylinder OM904 (4,250 cm³) that Mercedes-Benz used in the Vario; for its heavier variants 814D, 815D and 818D the source gives outputs between 102 and 177 PS. The Vario ran from 1996 to 2013 and was succeeded by heavy Sprinter versions and the light Atego. At a gross weight of 8,600 kg the class is widespread in distribution work.
Mercedes-Benz 818L-8.6T-97022 – collective page of the chassis-cab truck in the 8-tonne class: 130 kW, four-cylinders of 4,250 cm³, unladen weights from 5,300 to 5,600 kg at an 8,600 kg gross weight
This page gathers chassis variants of the Mercedes-Benz 818L from the medium-duty truck programme of the 8-tonne class, offered by Mercedes-Benz across the LK and Vario ranges in various wheelbases for box bodies, tippers and special bodies. The base figure 8 stands for the weight class around 8.6 tonnes gross weight, L for Lastwagen (truck); the versions recorded here differ mainly in wheelbase, visible in the strongly varying lengths of the chassis.

The register lists here 5 versions with an output of 130 kW from four-cylinders of 4,250 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 5,300 to 5,600 kg, a gross weight of 8,600 kg, lengths from 6,280 to 8,600 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,600 mm.
This class occupied the segment at Mercedes-Benz between the light vans and the heavy long-haul trucks and supplied mainly distribution traffic, trade businesses and municipalities with interchangeable box bodies, flatbeds and tippers.
On used examples of these chassis, the condition of the engine and turbocharger, the frame and body mounting, the brakes and suspension depending on load, and on tipper versions the hydraulics, and on vehicles used with a trailer the condition of the tow coupling and trailer wiring, matter closely; parts run through the dense Mercedes-Benz commercial-vehicle network.
