MAN 12.192 – classic distribution truck of the 12-tonne class with about 192 hp: six-cylinders from 6,590 to 6,871 cm³, gross vehicle weights from 11,920 to 12,800 kg, lengths up to 10,300 mm
The 12.192 follows the same type logic as the 10.153: the first number gives the nominal 12-tonne weight class, the second the engine power of about 192 hp. Unlike the lighter 10.153, MAN uses six-cylinders throughout here. The versions carried in the register range from the base 12.192 F through the suffixes F-M and F-V to chassis with different wheelbases and the version 12.(192) FL-(B)L-12,8/515.

The register lists here 8 versions with displacements from 6,590 to 6,871 cm³, throughout six-cylinders, unladen weights from 5,840 to 9,620 kg at gross vehicle weights from 11,920 to 12,800 kg, lengths from 7,700 to 10,300 mm and widths from 2,500 to 2,550 mm.
At around 12 tonnes gross vehicle weight, this class sat between the lighter distribution trucks and the heavy long-haul machines, and was used above all for box bodies, dropsides and municipal purposes, where it competed with the corresponding classes from Mercedes-Benz and Volvo.
On a used example of these older chassis, rust on the frame and brake lines counts, along with the condition of the clutch and gearbox, the seal of the engine and injection pump, and any fitted body and its mounting to the frame; parts are now only available through specialist dealers for classic MAN commercial vehicles.

What to check before buying
